Nice story.
Happy T and i went to Hollywood Park on Derby day. At the next table was a real loud-mouth know-it-all, wanna-be Sopranos type and his three disciples. He pontificated, they nodded and made strange sounds in unison. All through the Woodford Reserve and the Humana or "da Human" as i guess it's known in some circles this guy went on and on about who wouldn't win..... I swear, if this idiot said "dat dere Street Cry" one more time..... Put my imaginary earplugs in and played the race a few different ways and didn't hit, but i had to laugh when dat dere Street Cry won.

LOL, reminds me of the time my friend was going ON and ON about how "Very Quiet" was going to win the Triple Crown.

Friday this guy at the track was ranting about how he couldn't handicap the Derby because they were running it on Polytrack and none of the horses had ever run on it before. I bit my lip on that one and figured I'd just let him keep thinking that.

One of the folks interviewed on tv said his pick was "Toof-less-burg"... not the same thing as Street Smarts but this was someone who was supposedly a big fan who clearly hadn't been watching anything on television or talked to anyone about the horse. It was good that Circular Quay didn't do better than he did...the announcer was mispronouncing his name but didn't have a reason to say it more than once or twice, thus annoying me less than it would've.
