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.

Everyone must of had Maryfield in the exotics seeing how the Tri paid crappy in the F/M Sprint and huge in the Juvi Turf. Amazing...

5:16 - Looks like my future as photo caller is questionable at best. Turns out Cannonade not only came back from the dead, but also came back to get third from Strike the Deal, explaining the bigger trifecta and super. 7/8/2 and 7/8/2/5.
Meanwhile, we get Corso and Herbstreit's picks for the Breeders' Cup Classic. The sad thing is that I actually much prefer their insight to Goldberg's. I'd just about prefer the insight of any animate organism to Hank's. It's too easy to crack on The Hammer, so I'll move on. Oh, how convenient.. Now Edwards' mike works, as soon as "Parisel" is out of sight. Conspiracy!

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!

5:25 - golfer: "I'm no french expert, but doesn't Francois Parisel translate to 'Frankie the Umbrella'?"
I knew it. Biancone is just using his mafia name to run his BC horses under. Interesting story concerning Discreet Cat and Garret Gomez isn't that interesting. Here it is: Godolphin chose Gomez over Dettori. Enthralling.. DC, off a two-race losing streak, still stands a big shot considering slop breeding and -2 TG in Vosburgh, but odds are pretty underlaid. Wondering if there's enough speed in this race (sarcasm). Gottcha Gold, Wanderin Boy, High Finance all figure to go balls to the wall. Pretty much eliminates those three, although WB is dangerous on the wet. Park Avenue Ball certainly has a shot given those circumstances. Stop everything. Jeanine has a follow-up on that Garret-over-Frankie bombshell!
