If it comes off, how do either of the coupled 2 entries get around and beat Do I Havea Witness?

Not bustin' stones, just some friendly advice - Mostly everyone here appreciates well thought out opinions, but if you are going to post this ludicrous stuff, you may want to provide a bit of an explanation.... it will save you much grief

The man is a member so let him post. it says to post your selections rave or sulk about your picks. It does not say you have to have a radio, or tv show. It's entertainment for most and fun to post and play. if you want a detail reason for picks then ask in a civil manner and i'm sure he will give it to you. there are to many on here just waiting to bounce on and us peons over some horse selections. To me and i'm sure many others its entertainment and love of the game not a vocation.

If High Brass is the favorite it will be the biggest upset since Jim Dandy. Hell, he can't even be the second choice....and might not be third choice.

or maybe he just wants people to visit his blog for the details? he's using his 'membership' here as a way to shill his blog, and the harness track that's sponsoring it. in other words, those asking what he's thinking have a point.

Perhaps you missed the part where I specifically mentioned that I wasn't busting his chops. No one here this morning was "uncivil" or "waiting to pounce"....Lighten up - you aren't a mod and you're certainly not the Internet Civility Judge appointed to the forum

I found the answers on his website and enjoy reading everyone's opinion. Dan has some very unique insight and I, for one, appreciate that.

If you chose to see that in a negative light, then that's your issue to deal with -

Have to say this is an irksome and erroneous comment. If it's OK by you, I'll do the majority of the arbitrating of appropriateness around here, and both Zig and Elvis have a far more accurate image of the interplay than you on this one. No one was uncivil and no one is waiting to pounce on 'peons'.

You seem to have an overly heightened and sensitive impression of the intensity and intent of responses to a lot of what goes on here. There is a bit of a gauntlet to run in the Selections Room if you expect to be well-received, and to be honest, the threadstarter didn't get off on the right foot the other day when he retro-fitted his successful play courtesy of a 'forgot to mention I used' horse. Questions as to how he arrived at an opinion are utterly fair, and Elvis asked in a 100% 'civil' manner.

No apology needed. You can check out a dictionary to brush up on the lingo -

Ludicrous: amusing or laughable through obvious absurdity, incongruity, exaggeration, or eccentricity

No where is there an insinuation that calling a pick ludicrous is a reflection on, or an assault against, the man or his ability to handicap.

The notion of Spicy Vow to actually contend, at this level against this company, on an off track (a moot point now as they have come to their collective senses and have mercifully scratched him) is laughably absurd.

SV posts three starts over an off track with corresponding BSF's of 35, 44, and 49. I simply wanted to know what would provoke one to give him a shot here, which was explained on his blog site. That's all there was to it, my man. Sorry if it ruffled your feathers.
