This is addressed to the CEO of CLYDEFORM and it is a request.

I cannot start another handwringing, woeful thread in the pad lock BUT I am very concerned and would like a moment of your time.

Shirley you remember the American Derby a few years ago which the very nice boy, Workin' for Hops won... right?

So check this out:

* * *

Arlington - Friday, May 30, 2014
Arlington CLAIMING $5,000

Purse $11,000. For Three Year Olds And Upward Which Have Not Won Two Races Since August 30, 2013 Or Have Never Won Four Races. Three Year Olds, 118 Lbs.; Older, 124 Lbs. Non-winners Of A Race Since April 30, 2014 Allowed 3 Lbs. Claiming Price $5,000 (Races Where Entered For $4,000 Or Less Not Considered In Eligibility Or Allowances). Seven Furlongs. (All Weather Track)

1 1 Workin for Hops (KY) 7/G L $5,000 O Vergara, Jr. 1147 K Zavash 2/1
2 2 Strong Luck (FL) 6/G L $5,000 N Vigil 124 M R Yanez 4/1
3 3 Dubai Kingdom (KY) 4/G L $5,000 E Perez 121 M Perez 10/1
4 4 Epic Phelps (IL) 6/G L $5,000 S Sanjur 1147 D DiZeo 6/1
5 5 Flashy Green (KY) 7/G L $5,000 S Russell 121 R E Dobbs, Jr. 10/1
6 6 Broken Bow (FL) 5/G L $5,000 E Cosme 121 D Poulos 20/1
7 7 Forest King (KY) 8/G L $5,000 E Esquivel 124 H H Robertson 5/1
8 8 Dominant Suh (KY) 6/G L $5,000 R B Homeister, Jr. 121 I Mason 9/2


So what I want to know is can we have the occasional theme day up until the running of the Belmont Stakes?

We can have act like a whore day, Old Dog Appreciation Day, Let's all be nice to the person we like the least day, Wish Workin For Hops Luck Day (obviously that's Friday), pay homage to Clydiepoo Day, Dolphin Day (no not that kind of dolphin), Pud Tales Day and on and on.

As Aragorn says in lotr return of the kings "what say you?"

So for Friday I'm not asking that we all hold hands and sing kumbaya or anything but can it be a day dedicated to him and the other nice graded stakes winners who end up in these 5k claiming races where they don't belong?

If it's no that's fine Morty... just let me know so I can start baking (you get a cake if it's no).

Now which day is California Chrome Day?

The shiny and official, uber d'uber, c'est magnifique response from Breadquarters:

OK,let's get one thing straight;stop calling me Shirley.

My time is precious, as you know.It's my generosity that allows me to share some of it with a plebe such as yourself.

To start;no,I did not know of this American Derby thing,but it is cases such as you cite that are very upsetting.I will grant you theme days.I think at least one should be in behoovenence of horsey's as you mentioned.As far as the rest of your suggestions are concerned:


We can have act like a whore day----Uhm,it seems to me every day is act like a HO day around here.

Old Dog Appreciation Day----doo dah!! is appreciated every day,too.

Let's all be nice to the person we like the least day----BARF!!

Wish Workin For Hops Luck Day (obviously that's Friday)----Granted.

Pay homage to Clydiepoo Day----keepah-keepah!!!!

Dolphin Day (no not that kind of dolphin)----Noticing your exception.....no.

Pud Tales Day---- Oh let Deb-O-Deb tell hers.She's got a lot of them.

Califronia ....who????

From Breadquarters:

It seems like perhaps,given me answers to your requests,you will be baking me that cake.

I only ask this time you use standard Portland Cement and not the High/Early strength type normally used in your recipe.


Thanks in advance.

... and a happy WfH day to you too.
