"Maybe" wishful thinking?!

There is one way you could maybe get 6/1. Wait until the last minute (6:29pm) and bet $50,000 on "All others". Then jump on the 6/1 you'll see on Rachel A. and hope nobody else is paying attention.

Dang, while I was composing, the odds on Rachel A. dropped from 7/2 to 5/2. You may have to bet more than $50K on #24! ;>)

She seems like quite a filly, very impressive.

But I'll find her hard to cheer for with Calvin acting like such a showboat before the race is over. Get a clue dude, act like you've been there before.

Well, there's celebration and there's showing someone up. It seems Karma is usually watching when you get a bit big for your britches ... then it likes to bite you on the ass.

The way he was acting, my first response was to keep watching the replay and head-on to see if someone had bumped him or tried to block him or anything confrontational...
Actually she was so tactical and Borel had such a perfect grasp of the timing, that she accelerated out of every opposing bid before they developed.
Then Borel and P.Val gave high fives following the race, so he didn't appear angry.

Borel is one of my favorites, I do think he overplayed his actions in this one though.

Calvin doesnt have a mean in his body, what he was doing was just for the joy of being on a great filly! It was nothing agianst the other horses or to put them down, just celebrating what he was on. When talking about karma....after the crap he has been through in his life he will get Street Sense ten fold. Please dont think he was trying to be disrespectful because that would never be his intention. Kent D...yeah, but Calvin...no way!

Exactly.

Didn't Mike Smith start losing his hair right after he did that throat slash celebration after Sky Beauty won a race?

Didn't Randy Moss get traded to the Raiders right after he pretended to pull his pants down?

What he did would have got flagged with a 15 yard personal foul had he been playing NCAA Football.

The only thing I can think of less appropriate and less cool then celebrating so excessively like that ... would be to post a link of Scav interviewing a porn star.
