Ball Four, comedy....

I think those of us that are going to the BC should participate in a reenactment of the crossing of the Delaware outside of the Paddock.

Do you think they'll let us bring a cardboard replica of the boat on the grounds?

They may. I will be in section 119. Ball Four is a joke and I hope he doesnt go. But why not try him. I guess Premium Tap will make it as well. Seems to be a nice field.

In that case we are gonna need about 4 more participants than the original.

Well, if we get you off the boat we can make room for a lot more than 4!

Fine. I'll just be over at the liquor stand purchasing some overtaxed long island iced teas.

I have a lot more respect for Premium Tap after his effort in the Kentucky Cup. He fought hard after getting stopped.

You can't fault the horse for having a dumber animal piloting him.

haha nice. I like Premium Tap as well. I think he can be the big spoiler on the Bernadini crowd's 6 month long party.

these are just front runner type folks. they'll root for anything that is favored to win and they jump ship asap if there is a chink in the armor.

euro, did you read or hear something about Premium Tap going? After the Woodward, Kimmel said it was unlikely. I don't see that the next race, excuses or not, would be enough to change his mind.

What happened to Don't Get Mad this year?
I figured if anyone loves Churchill, it's this guy. I know his first race back 4th of July weekend was horrible, and I think he may have raced once after that and ran equally bad. Did they retire him?

And I assume the following horses are on the shelf and won't be running:
Buzzards Bay, Deputy Glitters, Sharp Humor, Jazil, Steppenwolfer.

It would be great to have Wilko run. Just to hear some people claim he's still a great horse capable of winning.

It's funny that you asked that... I always thought that Bernardini looked a lot like DGM.

I wonder what they'd put for a headline if a certain closer wins. Underneath it would have to read something on the lines of "'horse for course' Giacomo ends career with perfect record - at Churchill." The world will laugh if Gomez got PD to the wire, but everyone will think the apocolypse is near if this case of de ja vu taps the bank.

Don't Get Mad was retired to stud at his breeder's farm.
