Talk about ego destruction.

I'm in a couple of leagues... they're fun. Lots of industry folks dabble in them.

I was fairly satisfied with my 28th place finish in the Road to the Roses, especially since I screwed the pooch by drafting Dutrow and Asmussen as my trainers (hey, what can I say? I'm drawn to villains. I rooted for the likes of The Honky Tonk Man and Bill Laimbeer, and I consider Darth Vader one of "my boys"). On top of those weak earners, Eibar Coa was one of my jocks (another favorite of mine....for some reason. I must've either hit on a nice payout with him once or I just like saying the name "Eibar").

Although, in Eibar's defense, he came up big for me down the stretch with wins in the Illinois Derby and the Bluegrass. What a baller!
