" Nobals is too good a horse to deserve such an atrocious name."

I watched the post position draw and when they came to him, it was all those guys doing the draw could do to keep from busting out laughing. Not sure why I watched it. Usually as interesting as watching paint dry, but Nick Luck did go out into the audience and talk to Pletcher and Mott and Mike Smith and one or two others which made it slightly more interesting.

"I'm handicapped out and probably need some time away, perhaps to deal with the piles of leaves that have accumulated. That might be good mental therapy for me for the next couple of weeks.[/quote]"

I should probably feel that way as handicapping usually exhausts me because I make voluminous notes and tear them up and do them over and over some more, but no, I usually try to figure out what I did wrong or right and come up with some lame brained strategy to correct things. Now I am anxious to try that strategy out, but that will have to wait awhile until we resume play. By that time, I likely will have forgotten what it was.

I likely might have done better by choosing some easier races, but the Classic is such a challenge, I often can't resist. Must admit, I was not on the White Abarrio train, but used him anyway a little to no avail as Derma Sotogake put an end to that.
