Points all valid and well taken. As I said, I was sorry I jumped on him. I don't do it too often. I didn't mind the difference of opinion at all... That's always great. What finally got to me was the insisting that a horse coming from out of it was preferable to a horse on/near the front.

As to not liking Dunkirk, he ran a nice race and I have no feeling pro or con with him. It isn't a Coolmore issue as Thunder Gulch is one of my favorites all time. I was irked by the way in which Saturday has been turned into "Dunkirk was cheated".

Appreciate you listening and the feedback.

It was bad... I felt terrible the rest of the show and apologized a half dozen times. I've been edgy and anxious to get home for about 5 days. Have been here three weeks...

Big fan of this horse (South Beach Luv) getting 2nd on Million Day, never in a million years would I think that she would have a internet moniker named after her.

Haha well I had to pick something, we were at Arlington in the paddock and my wife spotted her, she is an absolute dead ringer for her retired thoroughbred mare. She won that day and we've been following her since.
She hurt herself in that race on Million Day, but has since recovered, might be shipping to Delaware Park and fingers crossed coming back to Arlington this summer.

For me, it was about crushing that exacta with the Pletcher horse, paid about $90 if I recall, and getting to bust my friends balls becuase it was my choice for the show parlay, and I wanted to use her, but becuase she was 15/1, they were razzing me.

The day after, an internet sportsbook has decided to continue to poor acid into the BYK Beaker.


"This Dunkirk" +500

Quality Road +600

I Want Revenge +800

Old Fashioned +900

Pioneerof the Nile +1000

The Pamplemousse +1400

Choclate Candy +2500 (for Lauren S.)

Note: I didn't miss the odds for F. Fire (they don't have any for him...what's the term for that? ..house horse?)

Just shows your human not a Robot ;-)

It was one of the more intense shows, but that just shows Steve's passion for the game.

I agree with HHH...it's symptomatic of having passion for the game. Don't ever lose that Steve...we love you for it.

I'm so glad I don't have an open microphone on me on my bad days at work...what you guys would hear would not be suitable for broadcast. More like the polar opposite of what the "King's English" would be.

Ironically, looks like Hour 1 is not working on the archive. Just letting you guys know.

Could this become a Daily Double Drinking Game.... Mondays when Someone brings up Dunkirk.... and Tuesdays when Mr. White brings up P-o-t-n ?
