Did you forget? This is the guy who says a firm course in Europe is a bog, and if it's listed as yielding, it's a concrete strip.

Or something like that.

I'm eagerly awaiting the redboards on Miss Keller. She's lucky William Buick moved a furlong too early.

It feels like he knew I bet her. I have an uncanny ability to pick the horse who will be compromised by ride, resulting in a narrow defeat.

It's a gift.
