Yeah it's reaching. Maybe if there were 2 more horses in the race.

I'll pass the Alcibiades.
In the Phoenix, I'll side with the longshot, Super Robusto

High Quality in the 7th

I don't really want to argue this any more, especially because nobody won on the race, but 8-1 to 15-1 (plus a scratch) is a LOT closer to 7/2 in a parimutuel pool.

I also said FL would be 30-1, 40-1 versus an admittedly hopeful 15-1 on DL.

The point is, you were wrong also, right? Don't you generally have to be right in order to pat yourself on the back? If anyone could, it would be CP, who was dead on with her odds.

I wasn't right on the race at all. My selection finished a well-beaten 6th. No back patting going on here, guy.

TO be fair, I was live to your house at 8-1 and Hoss horse at 40-1 in the pick 3 for $2.50.... So you both suck.

Now, before you whine ( as you did in your deleted post yesterday ), remember....you were the jerk here.....not me.

I admit being a jerk by posting the eyeroll- but taking only semi-veiled shots both here and in another thread was acceptable on your part? When you're as vociferous as you were here you also have to accept the counterattacks. And the post that was deleted was far from whining- it was stating the truth.

Listen, you've had it out for me for 6 months. Why, I don't know. I'd love to bury the hatchet on whatever it is.

Phil, I don't mind kidding, in fact I enjoy it, but it's pretty clear that isn't what you are doing. Your ensuing paranoia confirms that.

You have assigned a great deal of importance to yourself with the rest of your claims. It is simply untrue. Disagreeing isn't personal regardless of how you have decided to interpret it.

But, don't worry....I'll leave you alone from now on. I didn't realize how fragile you were.

Wasn't the Frizette winner a few years ago in the 50s?

Paranoia? Assigning a great deal of importance to myself? Being fragile- are you for real? Are you sure you're not placing your feelings about yourself onto me? Your whole post makes no sense.

As for the initial disagreement of the thread, you stated your case and I stated mine. I certainly have no problem with that, in fact that's what the crux of a discussion board is. YOU decided to make it personal by making cracks here and in the other thread.
