I love how my posts always seem to turn into a debate between two other posters, often having nothing to do with my original post.

Do I get extra points for that?

You aren't wearing pants right now, are you? Be honest.

This is a very common occurence on a public board.
Parlimentary procedure is not followed. We dont wear white wigs.
No points or soup for you.

And then there is Morton. Who for some unknown reason just pesters and never adds a word about horses.
The moderators have apparently found his need for attention amusing. A public board...
Maybe I should say a moderator. And he has not killed anyone yet.

Unless we get a mod who wants to rule with an iron fist....and keep everything on-topic ('Sup PA) it's going to be like that.

It doesn't bother me or anything. It's actually pretty entertaining. Personality is a good thing.

If you did you would have lost double for the final remark.

I'd hate to have to write more than two or three sentences about this race.

I'm using Curlin and R2R in multi-win exotics (twice as much to Curlin) and I will toss Hard Spun in on a ticket with mostly my singles in the surrounding races...just so he doesn't beat me out of anything if my top picks win all the surrounding races.

I will only bet the race if people get carried away, and really overbet each of the four least likely winners.

I filmed a half hour show about it tonight.....and have to film another one tomorrow.

Actually, to be honest, it's a fairly interesting race to talk about. Moreso, to me at least, than the Preakness. Unfortunately it all revolves around a 4:5 shot who will probably win.

Curlin should win the race, and that's why he'll be such a short price. Part of me is concerned that he really only ran well the last 3/8's in the Preakness. Certainly he learned a lot, but now with 12 furlongs, that's a long time to goof around before getting serious, and by time he does, it might be over.

If Street Sense does not back-up in the Preakness and wins the race, but is still not in the Belmont, does Curlin go off at the same price Saturday? I think that's a legitimate question and angle if you want to try and reason to beat him.
