Well looking back at the PP's it says Santa Anita but it had to be Gulfstream in my mind . . . I mean I didn't hit Jack Shoot but hey it happens. I could have played the Gulfstream card and did just a good?!? Uncle!!! I'm going to check one more time.

Then again it may be time for a freshening before the push to the TC.

This thread has the promise of becoming a classic.

After reading all of the responses, I began to wonder whether on some quiet week we could all try putting in our points picks without knowing what track was the contest venue. Then, in keeping with the spirit of the competition, we could try to ask Forego to come out of retirement and designate our contest track, probably an obscure country fair.

I sort of recall a player (who must of course remain nameless) complaining about having handicapped the wrong track and then winning or at least almost winning the points contest.

Don, you must tell me your favorite brand; it's undoubtedly worth a try. I'm reminded about a comment attributed to President Lincoln when told that General Grant drank, "If I knew what brand he used, I'd send every general a barrel."

Hey, I remember that one, too. Some female. It was not me. I was back gnashing my teeth in the back of the pack that day.

Well is case you haven't figured out my sarcasm, I did handicap Santa Anita but, but, but maybe it was today's card. Just kidding. I sucked so badly yesterday I'm trying to convince myself I had to pull up the wrong card. And we all know Gulfstream is our favorite track lately. Just one of those daze.
