Been several days now since this bizarre announcement to stick RA in an ungraded contest … and it still makes me laugh...

She is doing what Zenyatta won't. Race at different tracks throughout the year and not stay in hiding. RA will go to MTH and reward the fans there, then race at Saratoga late summer. I think it's a fine move going back to the two tracks she ran huge at last year. She is obviously back to her old self and at this point would crush Zenyatta. If Team Moss had the stones to go race in Saratoga, it would be great. But they won't and now seem afraid to be anywhere near RA. Team Moss running her in yet another boring So-Cal filly race is sad.

It's a well known fact stock traders get blitzed at night.

What's your excuse operatard? Hoisting a few too many concussions tonight?

Time to latch onto a new word, Indian boy

You've pretty much beaten "tard" to death at this point.

Stone must've called it a night.

Guy was on a roll there for a while … saying Buffett "isn't that bright" … and RA "would crush" Z.

Was looking forward to some more hilarity

Guess I'll have to settle for Indian boy's next gem…

Did anybody think Banshee Breeze would crush the then undefeated Manistique?

None of us know what would happen in a RA and Zenyatta race. Shirreff's record in NY is not encouraging though.

Buying stocks and blindly holding them for a long period of time during a bull market doesn't take a rocket scientist. Buffet makes a fortune during bull mkt runs, and gets killed during bear market periods. I guess he is very smart during bull mkts and very dumb during bear mkts. But being a big Buffet fan you knew this already.

Nope.

It's such a fitting word for so many people.

Especially you.

Do you honestly think it's some sort of accident that I keep using it? Like gosh, I must suffer from such a lack of imagination that I cannot come up with other words, like loser, or Charlene?

Ya know, maybe I'll try to come up with something just for you after all. Maybe every fourth or so post I address to you, I'll resort to the tard thing, but for now, I'll leave you with the Prostate Operator one.

Oops, make that Prostate Operatard.

Nah, I don't drink anymore. But if I do you will know. I will start praising Team Zenyatta for their strong schedule.

With statements like RA would crush Zenyatta I think you should reconsider going back to the sauce

Yeah, well, I'd love to see Z take on a decent horse that was in good form and race ready.

Not gonna see either happen, now are we?
