Had a nice run this century


Alysheba was not that much better then Bet Twice in my opinion, and Bet Twice STOMPED Alysheba in the Belmont.

I am not quite convinced on Fu Peg.

As much as I love Funny Cide, he may not have even been the best 3yo, espically after May.

Off the top of my head, and not in order:

Sunny's Halo
Winning Colors
Sunday Silence
Go for Gin
Thunder Gulch
Smarty Jones.

And all but the last were due to my excellent "I liked the name best" method. Sigh...

I did for a while have a remarkable skill at picking the winner of the Belmont for the Derby and giving up on the horse just in time for the Belmont. (Editor's Note, Touch Gold, Victory Gallop). The Editor's Note one still hurts. I remember I spent that Belmont in an OTB right next to a theater where I was performing in "Of Mice and Men." Boy, Curly's Wife was cranky in the evening show that day...

I have had a few.
Silver Charm
Barbaro
Fu Peg
Lil E. Tee (no capping, my name is Elise Teer).lol

My best longshot was Closing Arguement. I loved him, all the "real" cappers were telling me I was crazy, but I put $20 across on him and made my money back..... Freaking Giamaco.lol
