To be fair, there is a decent chance that Wrecking Crew finishes alone, behind the rest of the field by 6+ lengths.

With Kiaran McLaughlin retiring, does anyone know who will be training Spa City?

Sorry if Steve has covered this on the show, I haven’t been able to listen at all this week.

Go watch The Sting. You should be embarrassed not knowing the line. You probably would have knew what I was talking about 7 years ago.....when you used to be good. Maybe you will get a second wind this spring and summer. It’s noble work you’re doing.

There's an excellent book ( non-fiction) I read years ago about a rag tag baseball team of recovering addicts and others called Wrecking Crew. Highly recommended.

Great movie. I haven’t seen it in roughly a decade. No way I’d pick up on that reference.

Does that mean “place it on Lucky Dan “ would draw a blank too ? I’ve watched The Sting once a year since it was at the movie theatre. Never gets old. They don’t make em like that anymore.

That would register...but keep in mind, that movie came out 12 years before I was born. My dad would reference “Place it on Lucky Dan” routinely though so that one would definitely register.

I like when they ask the guy if he wants flat rate or percentage. He asks who the mark is. When they say Doyle Lonegan , the look on his face as he says flat rate is beautiful. Best line of the movie is very tough to narrow down, but, “ what was I supposed to do call him out for cheating better than me in front of the others?”wins in a close one over “ revenge is for suckers.”

For the San Felipe, I see Fort McHenry is now under Doug O’Neill and still vying for the Derby.

You’re the old fart in OTB talking about how much better everything used to be, right?

So lame...

Respectfully, no one ever knows what you’re talking about. You’re the babbling village idiot that posts dumb sh.it after you’ve smoked too much.

How are you not even entertaining when you’re high? It’s amazing.

Like I’ve told you many times before Dan, my worst day is light years better than your best. Good luck with all of your fake bets this weekend.

I find it interesting that many people automatically assume that the winner of the SA Derby won’t be able to come back in the Belmont because it’s only two weeks later yet nobody thinks anything of horses from the Kentucky Derby running back in the Preakness two weeks later.

Won’t be able to or simply won’t? I don’t see many trainers wanting to ship across the country and run on two weeks rest.

Definitely see a bunch of trainers wanting to ship across the country on two weeks rest when most have missed a prep or two.

As always, you’ve got your finger on the pulse of what’s going on.

This is not a year for a "triple crown" achievement. What was 3 races over 5 weeks is now over 3 + months to complete. While each race has its own reward why you would want to push your horse and just run him when the time is right. I believe it makes the Haskell, SA Derby and others almost equal value to the big 3. A lot can happen between June 6th and September 5th and Oct. 3rd. I think it's a long shot that one horse is winning those 3 races.
