Would you have said the same thing had there been 39 and none were mine?

Answer or Mr. Darden will come and we will watch you fold under direct questioning.

Moyer's Pond at 5-1.

Lightly raced, can track leaders, raced 5 wide in his last, the LS Derby.

PLUS, son of Monarchos says he can get the distance.

I was only iffy about him because of his "lightly raced" status and his times in his races weren't that great.

Lightly raced in this context is that he isn't a proven rat or slob. And if you shy away from those light types, it's best that you remember Sarava, who won the Belmont on something like his 4th or 5th outing. (I can't remember the exact number of races he had prior)

More reasons to miss Pinnacle:

Forty Grams vs Cowtown Cat
9 Forty Grams +147
10 Cowtown Cat -163

Officer Rocket vs Reporting For Duty
11 Officer Rocket -108
12 Reporting For Duty -108


Give me Forty Grams and RFD.

Default Cleveland's day, so . . .

Being a Buckeye, (and wishing the Cavs clinch tonight and the Tribe pounds the Tigers AGAIN!) one must bet the Ohio Derby! So, am going with Byalip and his Moyer's Pond choice, along with 40 G's, D Kiss and R for Duty; $1 tri box, 1-3-5-8 . . . lets' keep the chalk off the board!

No. Lighten up, I've deduced that you've been looking forward to this race for awhile.

I don't think I make myself clear.


I'm light almost 100% of the time.





I am very frustrated you don't see that.


And frankly I forgot about the OD ( !! ).


But it is interesting.
