I just saw the result. Hope I didn't sway any opinion you had. On what appears to be a pretty glib track, the pace was real slow, which probably helped, especially when Better Again didn't go, for whatever reason.

I still think that you are supposed to bet against horses like Skylighter. It didn't prove correct in this instance, but you still have to take the long view. That being said, I would not have thought she'd be 4-1, so I guess you could have a different perspective than the one you would adopt if she had actually been the 5-2 or less that I thought she'd be.

I've been pissed with him since Empire Maker beat Funny Cide. I know, makes not sense. And the 6 got hit for 170K!!! Oh well, Curlin and whatever insane, horrible thing Dutrow has up his sleeve should be entertaining. You missed the 10th so don't jump off the bridge. A nice bottle of Bourbon would be nice right now. Can ya tell I was just in Lexington? Good work. I learn alot from your posts here.

No sway at all. I do something that alot of newer guys do I guess and that is take too many opinions and not trust my own sometimes. So I learned a bit more here and I thank you for your opinion. I wish some folks swayed some of my other opinions!!!! But it comes down to being fun. Thankfully I am not dependent on this. I'd be alot thinner.
