The chance to kick my butt at the windows and shut my POS, arrogant, narcissistic, blowhard et al mouth up.

How can it get better?

Two against one and a decided home court advantage.

Saratoga is FAR from my wheelhouse. My comfort zone is OAKLAWN and SO. CAL.

Banishment of me from all forms of social media is on the line still as well.

And I'll put up $110 for every $100 you risk.

You did the work last year, which was superb BTW, so this won't be any bigger burden of your valuable time.

Just tell us if you accept or not.

No need to reiterate what a horrible POS person I am. We got it.

This is time to put up or explain why you're too chicken to try to knock me off my high horse.
Did you block me on twitter?

On Twitter you can still read the Tweets of people who you've blocked.

I've read yours.

A very small fraction are about me.

The rest are cruel, hateful, disgusting and worse.

Seemingly from a very dark place.

Aren't there any people in your life that you wouldn't want to see that hate and vulgarity?

People who look up to you?

Thanks for the kind words. I've never understood why but for some strange reason unless it's a family member or VERY VERY close friend we handicappers tend to sting when someone else wins. I'm guilty of that myself. I hate that I feel that way. But it does happen. Maybe it's because tackling the windows is such a competitive thing. I don't think it says anything bad about you.

I hope everyone wins. Even people I don’t like. I can’t root against anyone.

I don't mean rooting against anyone.

I don't do that.

It's more the jealousy you spoke of.

I feel it too sometimes.

I wouldn't kick yourself too much for that.

If you're saying it's me.

I'm about to take one.

I'm 63 years old and today getting my first and most likely last tattoo.

It was a family Christmas idea run amok.

Full report after I stop crying like a baby.

BTW, interested in the Saratoga challenge?

What an opportunity for the man with the best opinion in NY to shut up the Wicked Blowhard of the West!

It would be best if you challenged Beyer might as well shoot for the top. Have a heart, Vic.

A wonderful man who has put his indelible stamp on racing forever.

Andy's more of a Maryland circuit guy.

I'll stick with Andy and DA-WHATEVER.

I wanna beat the best.

I'm afraid they aren't going to accept the challenge.

I wouldn't if I were them.

Still holding out hope.
