Not much of a redboard - he asked me how my day went betting and I replied.

Basically - I won a nose photo at Laurel that was ultimately the difference between winning about $140 instead of losing $760 for the day.

I doubt anyone who read that was saying "Damn, I wish I had a day like that"

He would have been suspected of redboarding if he had written that he just missed a $40k superfecta at Turfway but was relived he at least had the $10k trifecta, or that he chopped off his thumb because he was distracted by cheering home his 25-1 over a 40-1 cold exacta at Tampa.

Time to replace the Graded earnings rule with a Graded points rule such as the following:

Grade I -9 pts. for win, 6 for place, 3 for show

Grade II - 6 pts. for win, 4 for place, 2 for show

Grade III- 3 pts. for win, 2 for place, 1 for show

People used Mine That Bird as an example of why the Graded Earnings rule should be replaced before the 2009 Derby.

This is the published list from DRF and he was listed (24 Master of Hounds Aidan O'Brien $150,804) but without Saturday's earnings. The update from Churchill will likely have him situated properly, but I moved him up..
