Friday this guy at the track was ranting about how he couldn't handicap the Derby because they were running it on Polytrack and none of the horses had ever run on it before. I bit my lip on that one and figured I'd just let him keep thinking that.

One of the folks interviewed on tv said his pick was "Toof-less-burg"... not the same thing as Street Smarts but this was someone who was supposedly a big fan who clearly hadn't been watching anything on television or talked to anyone about the horse. It was good that Circular Quay didn't do better than he did...the announcer was mispronouncing his name but didn't have a reason to say it more than once or twice, thus annoying me less than it would've.

These storys are nearly as annoying as how the media has played up SS being going from "19th to 1st", totally unaware of how that is his style of running. It wasn't "amazing" that he did it, and we all know that if he was leading early he never would have had a chance...

And the most ironic thing is .... a good portion of those people probably bet on Imawildandcrazyguy because they thought it a cool or funny name, and those were the superfecta winners ....
