Aww don't make fun caue of his silly name. I have a weird name. It sucks.

Once upon a time, way far away in a land called Guyana, lived a horsie named Guyana Star.

Now this horsie won like a zillion ****ing races.

Anyhoo flash forward to present day and the trainer named this one for the original GS and the dweej means something like to have been born again.

The end.

And the moral of the story is that I'll Have Another will win.

I am just now looking at the fields and will be posting my really terrible picks at some point but don't think I'll be having much time to actually attempt to cap the races (the rest of them. I refuse to play the Belmont and jinx him).

[Rileyoriley]

Because he always wants to be first to post his picks, Clyde will now present us with his Belmont day selections.

I have for you now a few words from our dear friend Clyde:











Sun, Jun 10, 2012 05:58 AM

My Very own Acceptance Speech.








( I begin.)



One score and elevendy-three years ago,hour fore horsey's brought forth to this great nation the 12th Triple Crown horsey. The country needed something,someone....to pull its attention away from the fears of oil shortages,embargos and skyrocketing gas prices.

In the history of the world, every nation ....great or small....has found it's masses in need of something or someone to draw it's attention from the vagaries of life.Sometimes this someone of something rises to the call, but sometimes not.That one Superstar is not always available at the required time.The Universal Sparklies align of their own free will and bow to no Earthbound commoner's shriek for atonement. And so, retches are left to cling to a grasshopper or perhaps a filthy forest creature for their quasi iconic needs.


I do understand this maybe even more than the ordinary Superstar.

For me, I relish this calling.

I spit in the face of failure on the big stage.


When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

Now, the calling most recently came in a dark and dreary world in crisis .A world steeped in the stampede procurement of generators and salt....and yer so forth.There came to be the need for that one Superstar to end the agonizing void of no Triple Crown winner for all these years.YouWon'tHaveAnother heard it.He came, he conquered 2 out of 3....and then he failed.The Universal Sparklies refused to complete their alignment.The cries of horsey fans and non horsey fans alike could be heard echoing streaming from every American Main Street right down to the Himalayan Paths of Big Foot.Grown men sobbed, grown women wept....children stuck little pins in other children hoping to transfer their pain to other wee ones not all that bothered by yet another year of no TC winner.


"Oh God! Is there no one someone or something that can avail him/itself to us in our miserable moment of heroic need?"

The prayer was shared by legion as the Friday news broke out.

This time, the world was in luck.


Yes. For in the humanity of The Made Members of -ALAN'S- Room, a contest had formed meant to answer this calling. But;was this enough? Could the winner possibly win in such a style as to wipe the gloom from the face of this planet?

There was one, and only one----mind you,such Superstar quite capable of this unthinkably formidable task.That one such Superstar who could be among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle him, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind allows him to declare the causes which impel him to the separation of other contest plebeian players.


That Superstar is Clydey One Picks.

And I am Clydey One Picks.

And I have won this TC day contest in such an unprecedented fashion that I have become more of a hero to the low li....I mean common people of this earth than YouWon'tHaveAnother, had he Had Another.


I stand before you a very humble man.

Normally, I do not accept material awards as I am on a higher plane than...pretty much everyone.

However, given the majesty of this event....given the new hope I have brought into the world----I will accept this award as an offer of my grace, my sense of what's right as well as my Beautiful Mind. Thank you, TenMostWanted ,for this wonderful award....which I have yet to receive.Thank you also for running this great affair so as to give me the opportunity to ride your vehicle to greatness and pull humankind from the deep depths of despair.I would like to thank Arletta for her undying compassion for my extraordinary work and ,again, TMW for some moral support.To the other players, failures as they are, you did do the right thing.You tried.

That's not saying very much....is it?

Oh well, you're made members....that's more than enough.

I am not one to orate nor to draw attention to myself in long winded, self serving speech.



With that in noodle,....I must say I would be remiss if I did not reach out and touch the halos of those absolutely wonderful people-----The Belmonts.


Ned, you taught me everything I know about Zodiac Ciphers.

Hydra,where would I be without the motivating fear of your e-mails lethally criticizing any substandard work.




Time to cut this short and simply say:Thank you from your humble Superstar,Clyde.
