![]() 4:43 - It's officially pouring, which means it's the perfect time to highlight the best of New Jersey! The mosquito is the state bird, it's got 108 toxic waste dumps according to native Tom Renaldi. The state motto: Liberty and Prosper. The best connections Renaldi could come up with were the Statue of Liberty for Liberty (in New York) and Atlantic City for Prosper (because that's the word that comes to mind when we think AC). Renaldi wraps up a sad puff piece by saying that tourism is second highest of any state in NJ. But not counting kidnappings, where are you ranked?

![]() 4:50 - Achill Island taking a lot of money at 3/1, while Prussian, the best U.S. hope in addition to Cherokee Triangle, is a lukewarm 9/2. Perhaps word got out that Europeans are generally more used to soft turf than our boys. Oh no.. The blob has invaded the ESPN set! Let's see who The Hammer likes: Achill Island. What a surprise. Filling out the totally chalky exotic prediction quota, Hank goes 8-9 for the exactor and 8-9-4 in the triactor. Randy Moss agrees. Nick Luck (his stage name) is apparently the only guy European enough to interview Dermot Weld. Wait, what did he say? Luck, translate!

![]() 4:57 - One minute 'til the least climactic $1,000,000 race in the history of horse racing. Edwards interviews Texans' and Texas Fever's owner Bob McNair, a.k.a. That Idiot who let Charlie Casserly draft Mario Williams over Reggie Bush and Vince Young.
Odds as they load: Your Round - 43/1 Cannonball - 14/1 The Leopard - 11/1 Cherokee Triangle - 7/1 Strike the Deal - 6/1 Gio Ponti - 8/1 Nownownow - 12/1 Achill Island - 3/1 Prussian - 3/1 Preachin Man - 35/1 Texas Fever - 44/1 Domestic Fund - 9/1 |

![]() 5:05 - Nownownow closed strongly to head Achill Island for the win, looked like Strike the Deal nosed out Cannonball (or Cannonade, as Denman called him) for third. Bailey, even more flustered than Denman, attempts to give some analysis, but ends up stumbling on "Achilles Island" about four times, then just gives up as we head to break.

![]() 5:12 - Here's Edwards with Francois Parisel. Further proof that Parisel doesn't exist and is just an alter ego of Pat Biancone, no Edwards. Let's check in with Jeanine again. Nope. Still not there! This is a hell of a telecast for ESPN!
