Default Venue May 13th

If there are no major objections lets go to Belmont for races 1 to 10 featuring
3 graded stakes and a chance for Joly to root on Red Knight again. And for Ruff's
benefit, yes you can include race 11 in your wagers.

The local chapter of the Red Knight fan club (i.e. my wife and I and the couple who live 3 houses down the street) appreciate your choice.

I'm a bit surprised that Maker would run him back so soon, since the Elkhorn was only 3 weeks ago. 9 year olds need time between races to recover. The field for the Man O' War looks very much like that of the Elkhorn, including his old rival Channel Maker, Value Engineering, and Verstappen, who outkicked Red Knight to the wire in the Keeneland race, moving just like the Formula 1 driver after whom he is named.

I'm sure your post was germane to the topic, but for the life of me I can't figure out what you mean. Care to elucidate?

Elucidate!!! Love that word. Like I hope I'm able to elucidate the card tomorrow better than I've been doing. Ans it would help if I were more lucid as well.

I thought I elucidated very well with the reference to Peter Pan
Perhaps not a lot of fans of the Peanut Butter or Tinker Bell 🧚*♀️

Frankly, I was quite surprised that you would think of Peter Pan as your peanut butter of choice. I thought that you were a lifelong fan of Skippy (isn't that the nickname the Hines' had for Skip Away?).
