I'm sure I misread it, though. Must have been all the "I"s.
The real reporters there that night had two more stake races to cover after Super Frolic went bad.

I was the lucky one who got to make the half mile walk in 45 degree weather with no coat.

I want to thank Miss Storm Cat for starting what turned into a most entertaining thread. Super Frolic was an extremely admirable horse who surely deserved a better end, and the same could be said for many horses and people in this game, and at least this thread offered us all some humor to help make it through this brutal game. Speaking of brutal games, CJ, I just got home from the Os game. Did I really need to watch that for four hours?

It also allowed DrugS yet another opportunity to redboard. But, then again, what thread doesn't.

The previous day, my top pick and day's best won - but only paid $23.00

I hope BBB is on the staff. His post a few pages back was classic. He is just glad he can take money at the windows from all those that don't care about horses. What a true ambassador of the game.

I don't even know the score. I think there is a rule that all Yanks/O's games last four hours. If only the season were that long.

At least he didn't mention Street Sense or Discreet Cat, so we've got that to be thankful for this fine morning.

The Yanks were up 8-4 with two outs in the 9th and two Os on....and the Yanks brought in Mariano. Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't the worst pitcher in the league, Os relievers not included, be over 99% to hold that lead?

Hell, I'd be 93%. The Notre Dame QB would get the out 9 out of 10 times.

Actually, the Notre Dame WR from last year, Jeff Samorjoey (sp?) will likely be pitching in the majors in two years.

They hate the new Tapeta surface up there and refuse to cover the meeting.

No idea.

You can only find the racing stuff in the hardcopy. Which is great when I have a duck - like tonight. But sucks when I'm doing awesome.
