Del Mar Race's 2 and 3, post 2:32 Pacific time.

Should Chocolate Lava fail to set the grass afire at Del Mar today, I'm buying a two dollar ticket on a Pacific freighter bound for Mauna Loa, Hawaii. Once there, I'm going to hike my happy @** up Mt. Kilauea and experiment with bungy jumping into Kilauea's active volcanic crater using kite string for a bungy cord. That is if I don't have to just swim out and feed myself to the California coastal great white sharks because I didn't have a lousy two dollars left in my pocket for a cheap freighter ticket. I think I can get the kite string donated. I can probably get the two dollars and the kite string donated.

Dead last, Sport...Keep up the fine work, and when you jump into the volcano, make sure some one is there to tape it and put it up on YouTube for us...

Jim, Everyone was overpaying for Orientate's back then...Now his offspring barely bring his advertised stud fee. Most of them are gone from the track by 4 as I'm sure you know they're not the soundest lot in the bunch....

A 4yo Orientate with just 14 career starts??!! Red Flag City...It is just refreshing to meet one of the guys who is fueling the pools for us

Gotta hand it to you bro... Back to back win picks that BOTH finish dead last. They ought to give you a consolation DD for something for that....
You definately keep it amusing

and i guess by this reasoning Chocolate Lava would also outclass Zenyatta because she sold for $400K while Zenyatta was a discount $50K horse.

Exactly...Never realized how easy this game was to figure out...

[Dr.SwineSmeller]

I'll let ya'll vote, do I take the Mount Kilauea kite string bungy jump or swim with the Pacific great white sharks? If I get my choice, can I borrow two dollars for a cheap boat ride?

Dead last twice today. Tried to beat the chalk, didn't happen. Oh well, the sun will rise tomorrow. Not the least discouraged. Picked 9 races so far, that equals a full card. It's not the first time I've lost to a full card. Four days deep and I'm behind, but the way I figure, I've got (whichever comes first) 26 more days left in a full month play to get back up, or go down $1000 in the bank first.

RECAP>
Del Mar Race 2- It is now believed that horse dyslexia is contageous. After being sneezed on by Bahama Mama in the paddock, Chocolate Lava took a right in the first turn and was finally roped and tied after running wild and harassing the women down on the Sunset Strip. Ralston Purina LLC has offered Mona Talla a bid of $40 to salvage the beligerent three legged $400,000 cart mule at the Del Mar Dud Sale.

Del Mar Race 3- In The Poconos fired backwards out of the gate and was last seen hitchhiking east out of LA on I-40 wearing a "Pennsylvania or Bust" sign around his neck.

Today's wagers: $80, return $0.
Total called wagers to date: $288 bet, return $78.

Derby Trail WPS record: 9 starts, 1-1-4. Mythical $2 Win on each= $18 bet, return $5.20.

I can't tell you about what I'm not involved in either Miss storm Cat, For the 1st time in all my message board days, I have used the IGNORE command (two days ago), and I threw the key in the pig's trough.

Delvis reminds me of why I make my dogs stay outside.

Damned right it will.

Keep posting your picks. Kilauea isn't going anywhere so don't be in such a rush to go bungee jumping.

I've never used the ignore feature, although I've been tempted at times.

At least Masterful took off frontwards out of the gate, navigated the first turn, and crossed the finish line. That is tons better than I can say for my 2 ghost plays today!

Nope Jim, I'm with you on Zenyatta 110%. She is the grizzly bear they all will try to beat on Breeder's Cup Day. When they're fast they're fast.

I've taken two early wagers out for the Breeders' Cup. Zenyatta and Casino Drive. I got 10/1 on Casino for the Classic the day after he scratched from the Belmont Stakes. Of course if he/she fails to go to post I still lose.

I'll say it straight up. I think Casino smokes the Classic field, no matter who is in.

Here is why, as sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words. (Just like Dilemma). Notice the crowd as they gaze at the million dollar yearling all grown up as he dances for them in the paddock and prepares to leave Mint Lane in his dust in this years Peter Pan Stakes at Belmont. (I framed this pic for my living room wall). Shades of his grandpa, Secretariat>

If you were a tired horse from way up in the Poconos trying to get back home after you'd just rode 4000 miles in hot trailer with a nose hole from Pennsylvania to California only to have dirt clods for dinner, you'd be a little disoriented too when you first hit the road trying to figure out which way was east. Don't blame the horse for being lost.
