Default Odd musings for a very early Saturday AM...

Every once in a while it's good to get a moment of the bitter taste of Typhoid Mary types like our "friend in his harness" the last two days. It just makes you appreciate the value of the people and discussion here when you flush a bowel movement like that guy.....


Okay bring on Saturday afternoon.....there is plenty of meat on this bone. Why do I have an uncontrollable urge to throw down early on Irish Rogue (ML 8-1) in the first at GP. The horse has only won 22 times even if he is 10 years old....

When your still working half miles in 48.2 and your last 3 workouts are bullets who cares if your pushing 11.....Does it work like dogs with years....a horses age is "X" times the real number. For a dog the number is 7 for instance

There is no shame in smiling with the trainer and family if he wins at $20 bucks or so....maybe it happens tomorrow or maybe the next time but the horse is a win machine in the right situation and he will win again when he is working like this IMO. I can't really justify it but I have always had a thing for this horse. Go get'em ole man!!
