Nice call!

Thank You guys.

I did a lot of talking....and you're going to be wrong a lot in this game---but the egg is on your face when you're the one talking the loudest and you lose.

Not sour hoss....but just because he was a blowhard all week doesn't mean
he's an expert. Blah...blah...blah

Well said Jay. I dont always agree with 100% of what he says....but he puts his opinions out there....gives rational reasoning behind them....and stands firmly behind them. I will always respect that.

Won game 1 against the mighty Braves!!!

Well that was 20 horses...and 96 dollars Hoss..But you are right..prob. a little bitter, but I'm more willing to shake the hand of a guy who can give me a 12/1 shot.Example...hooves...steve....etc...anyone can give out chalk on a chalky day. Think about it.

Serling told me a great story when I went downstairs to visit him at Saratoga last year---he was at a table with a son of W. T. Young, Steve Crist, and some other influential breeding person...

Anyway, they start talking about Flower Alley, and I guess Andy didn't know off the top of his head that Distorted Humor was FA's sire.

Anyway, so they start talking about Distorted Humor, and Andy recalls a time he caught him to win (down at GP I believe) and he paid $36 for the win. So, W. T. Young's son says something like "wait, so everyone remembers this horse for all the good foals he's sired....and you remember him because he won you $36?" Andy says "No....it was actually $8.20...I bet him to show."

Obviously I made a little more than $22 on this race....I bet that exacta backwheel about as heavily as I've bet an exacta backwheel in as long as I can remember.

But yeah---if I got loud and annoying for a week or two before this race--I'm sorry....but I really, really, really was obsessed with this race. Complete obsession.

I had Curlin today, but he won't be my Belmont pick. :)

Good call DrugS. My hubby is pissed at me because I didn't make him go bet today. He actually called me during my riding lesson to yell at me because I picked the tri and he was mad. (He saw my notes on our desk after the race.) He left me quite a voice mail. :D

I'm wounded.

No excuse..get back in the game.





Fine work....by the way.

My hubby is pissed at me because I didn't make him go bet today.
---------------------

I'm sure that's the least of it.

Sorry...A little too harsh on my part. I take a lot of it back. You are NOT a blowhard. Keep up the good work!

If I'm the guy your talking about...I did SAY that it was a triple box of the three Derby finishers (see the earlier post here)
Chalk or not, it WAS a very good week DaHoss! Had $50 in my phone-a-bet a week ago...it NOW stands at $600!!! :)
Congrats to ALL that cashed today! How did you do????

Good call, but did you bet him? He wasn't 4-1...

I did not have a win bet on him.

Street Sense was a mortal lock to run underneath if Curlin won, and far far more likely for 2nd than 3rd place...because of pace scenerios...so I just tried to better my odds a little.

I was hoping Curlin would have the seperation on Street Sense so he didn't get drowned by his move....honestly, even though I was convinced SS would hang...I was never a confident man when he blew by Curlin...and I only didn't think I could win until the 1/16th pole...at that point I thought I'd probably nab him.

In the end, there was no way Street Sense wasn't running 1-2. Since your strong opinion was the Street Sense was a bad bet on top, the best bet was to play him underneath the only two with a chance to beat him. You did just that. Congrats. I see no reason for any of the bashing here.

No kidding. It's not possible to be more right about a race than TIDS was here. Some people cannot stand someone else being correct whether it's at their own expense or not.

They Live is the greatest movie of all time.
