I'll be here!!!! Maybe the breaks will stop beating the boys by the time you come back.

I met a guy yesterday who had the same beat and he was as inconsolable as I was. He just kept saying what I said here, "of all the times for Johhny to screw up and make a dumb mistake it had to be when I needed him for a score?". Ouch. We will get them later in the meet, my pain is just starting to ease today, like a two day hangover that beat was a two day pain festival.

If this is how you show your emotion all the time, there would never be any issues and you would have a halo over your head. (LOL)

Well I mean what hurt so badly was him losing by a very short and very rapidly diminishing head. Two strides after the wire he had the winner beat again. If he had lost by a length or two I woud have been steamed but not totally sure that Johnny's brain cramp didn't cost me. But when teh horse lunged back at him at the wire you just knew that the total waste of energy on the backside cost him a lot more than a head. Johnny has given so many awesome rides that I have cashed on that its kinda hard to be real steamed at him. He just screwed up and probably vomited at his own ride when he watched the replay.
