I was f'ing all over Miraculous Miss, had her singled in the Pick 6 (I was 3-for-3 up until that point), then she flips out and they give me that f'ing slow as molasses El Corredor pig by default. I f'ing HATED that horse. I said on this board and at the track, why the eff isn't Velazquez riding her if she's ready to win this?
They gotta let you have alternates in the Pick 6. I probably still would've lost, considering I didn't have Bushfire as my second choice, but it's the principle of it. I hated Adieu in that race and I still wound up with her as my Pick 6 single.
On top of that, I played a pick 4 with my boy and each of us picked one horse in the Acorn. I had MM and he picked Adieu. I wasn't gonna argue. But thanks to that scratch, we had that crawler for a deuce.
F'ing day went downhill from there and it officially got killed when Glitters flipped his palate and didn't cross the finish line until Sunday morning.
