Ruffian, I refer you to your post of September 9, on exactly the same subject. The solution to your problem is exactly the one that you stated then.

Surely you recognize the rhyme and meter:

SECONDITIS SYNDROME

YA WIN SOME - YA LOSE SOME
~ OR SO IVE BEEN TOLD
BUT THE 2ND PLACE TROPHY
IS ALL THAT I HOLD

I TRY VERY HARD
TO PICK WHO WILL WIN
AND YET WHEN ITS OVER
IT'S A 2nd AGAIN!

WAS A 'BIZZY CHANNEL'
A 'SMART REMARK' TOO
CLOSE DOESN'T COUNT
ON THE WIN BETS I DO

A LESSON TO BE LEARNED
NEXT TIME WHEN I RACE
THAT MAYBE CONSIDER
TO ALSO BET “PLACE!”

Can't you just visualize her "rappin" this little ditty out. Makes me laugh thinking about it.

Probably not much consolation to Indian Hemp, but maybe he showed us the way to make our last gasp, "hail Marys" in this contest, although I think it would indeed take a miracle for someone to beat Tom. I think he pretty much had us all beat after the Belmont Stakes and it has only gotten worse since. Our situation kind of reminds me of what Keith Jackson would say when a football team like Louisiana Tech was taking a serious drubbing from one of the perennial football powers like Oklahoma, but would in the final minutes of the game maybe score a touchdown. Keith would always say something like(if you are a Louisiana Tech fan) "let your imagination run wild." I miss Keith. He had the most pleasing voice and was always a pleasure to listen to.
