As somebody who likes to tell everybody how smart he is ( I guess this goes for both of us ) I think it's fair to say it helps one's credibility to occaisionally point out when we're wrong.

This post feels like a Trip or a Trap.

Andy,

The Dead played at the Uptown Theater in Chicago on back-to-back-to-back nights in January/February of 1978. For $10,000, name all three closing songs, in order.

I think it was a really fast time by an obviously talented colt.

I also happen think it is crazy for Brown to try to make/defend/discredit a figure by comparing MM to Ghostzapper.

Ghostzapper did what he did in his career against accomplished horses and was a great, but brittle racehorse. However, comparing the two because you don't agree with a figure is lunacy. MM may not end up the reacehorse Ghostzapper was, but it doesn't mean he didn't run as high a figure in his debut.

I have no problem at all with what he said regarding Ghostzapper.

His whole take involving Ghostzapper was bascially 'Ragozin has sprint races at SA two points faster than me - and if he stays true to his habits - this horse will get a number as fast as Ghostzapper"

That would be correct.

Interestingly, no encore the second night, and Around and Around closed the second set the first night.

The shows from the Uptown in 1980 are killer.

I can't give you credit for that, but I have no doubt you would have known it on your own.

Try this (ANDY ONLY)..

On the day this horse won the Kentucky Derby, the Dead closed with Black Muddy River in Stanford, CA.

I just saw this. It had to be 1987, as that was the year of Black Muddy River encores, so I guess it's Alysheba.

I regret never seeing a show at the Frost.

It's been a while since I looked this up but I think it was 1989. Sunday Silence.

I could be wrong, but since I'm never wrong on the Internet, I must be right.
