Actually...

I think I teach how to lose.



Races.

Horse races... to be specific.
I am especially bad on synthetic surfaces.

I can teach that class. Especially the chapters on Pick 3s and why I hate them.

Speaking of which, didn't the late Pick-3 payout seem a little light?

been handicapping syth. surfaces.

I really bite.

And I want to do my utmost

Back to Guass's law and

Its fun to be able to appreciate
something you dont have...

Dear Mr. Pea Garden,

Is your brain chemistry a bit off today?

He's just seething with anger that his alma mater got absolutely HOSED by the refs at the end of the game against Duke today.

for what it's worth I thought Hold Me Back looked magnificent in the post parade on Espn . he looked very lean and fit . might have been an optical illusion in that post parade shots on tv usually don't separate any horses in terms of fitness.

Oh lets not go there.

No.
Lets do.

Texas has a bunch of athletes that
have a severe dearth in the area of
basketball IQ. The refs can screw up.

But when we got numbskulls that...

I am used to rooting for an overachieving
NBA team so it is very hard rooting for kids
that play a game their body was made for,
but their brains... its a no go. I like smart
basketball. Texas is very hard to watch.

Very.

Sorry.

Back to my incompetence on synth. surfaces
and the complete void that I live in trying to
figure out which 3 yos are actually good that
run on the stuff. Feel free to continue on
the debacle at Turfway. for me anyway.

Expecting to play Duke and not get hosed by the refs is like expecting to bet on horse racing and not having a takeout. You have to know what you are getting into. Duke, Connecticut, and Big 10 teams can do whatever they want. Everyone else has to play by the normal rules of basketball.

If that was the case, I'd be building bridges and interstate highway walls.

He's an absolute joke, a mute for sure. (most)
