  1. Something tells me Chz would be a natural....... (Holla!)
  2. Remember....whenever someone wants to invoke Pegula is a savior and a genius because of his success in business.....this guy turned $8K into $15 million in a span of 8 months......
  3. I'm guessing they really like him because he was the first of a half dozen or so mid-1st to early 3rd round guys they were on the beat of. I honestly don't know enough of him to figure what it would take to get him. His name alone sounds imposing.
  4. Has anyone here ever been stopped at Customs?
  5. Drunken rant at the end of his 15 minutes. Too bad....seemed like nice guys. Also, half of California Chrome's races were restricted and run against only California bred horses. Maybe he wants to give that money back? I will pay attention during Saratoga more.

  7. That was a great race....I think the Met Mile may be the same. I had Bayern in a big pick 3 with Sophia so it got busted. All the NY wiseguys were on Sweet Reason at 9-1. Didn't even use her.
  8. Suicide watch.....Sophia bites it. My hypothesis is she won't run the rest of the year. If she's back in 6 weeks then I just blow.
  9. Wow! Thanks.....I just saved it. This should be good.......
  10. Aww man...sentimental story makes for a good day for a Triple Crown. The 12th can be used to hook up exotics if you like California Chrome. You might get a $20 double instead of $3.20 to win. F### Wes Welker! Rosie gave the longshot a bad ride....checked about 2 lengths then couldn't decide to either hit the rail or go wide. Didn't matter much but Welker blows my exotics again.
  11. OK....let's lose some money... Belmont 6:50PM 1st Race 11:30AM Race 1 - Skip Race 2) #5 Misconnect (5-2) - #7 Legend (4-1)........No real value but I think Misconnect will be fine going longer and can go to the lead or sit. Race 3) #7 Bigger is Bettor (30-1).......taking a small stab at a longshot. A mile and a half is not common, so you never know who gets it. Grand Reward is one of the few sires who has horses improving into their older years. It's hard coming off a layoff and going 12f, but I will put a few bucks across the board. Race 4 Turf) #5 Anyriderill Do (20-1) - #10 Marchman (7-2)......The horse came off almost a year layoff...is 4....got left at the gate...is stretching out...and closed the 5th furlong in 11 seconds and lost by 1 last race. He needs to get a good start and improve, but I can find a length or 2 for every point I made and for the odds, will be ripe. He probably comes in 4th and loses by 3, but at that price is worth a shot. I was hoping Marriedtothemusic was in as I have been waiting 2 years for him to try turf, but he went today on dirt. Race 5) #6 Embelishing Bob (8-1) - #1 Bayern 9-2)........Love the pedigree for the distance. Ran well at 6 and a mile, but 7 is perfect. Hooking him up with the horse from the Derby Trial he finished 1-2 with....who I like a lot. Race 6) #8 My Miss Sophia (6-5) - #1 Fashion Plate (8-1)......coming back with my Oaks picks. After both had gate incidents, I am just throwing out the race for Fashion Plate. My Miss Sophia is just special and I figured they would get smart and start bringing her down in distance. Other nice horses...and again, the filly crop this year has more quality than the males.....Depending how my day is going, may do a stupid exacta 3/1 ratio. Race 7) #6 Princess of Sylmar (8-5)....won't play straight, but will use in multi race bets. Thinking of singling Sophia and her first 2 legs of pick 6 then going deeper later. Race 8 Turf) #5 Coffee Clique (5-1) - #8 Waterway Run (6-1)....going back to horse that won for me Derby Day. No reason not to keep improving. Race 9) This thing is awesome. The Met Mile is huge for breeders as milers usually make the best sires....so you always get a good field, but this is tough. I may go for big balloons and try #2 Vyjack (20-1). He is bred for this distance, looks like a miler, likes the track, and is under the radar. Really though...almost anyone can win, even though Palace Malice is a decent favorite. Race 10 Turf) #10 Chamios (8-1) - 3/4/8 ........I like this one. 2nd off a layoff...4yo...top turf trainer..... Race 11) #11 Tonalist - #5 Ride On Curlin - #2 California Chrome - #2 Samraat.......Don't love it at all. I enjoy a Triple Crown shot, but this will be the 1st time I am actively rooting against it. It would be like Ryan Miller winning league MVP. Tonalist is a grinder. He has a little turn of foot, but not explosive. Ride On Curlin is probably the best overall of these for this, but he is worn down a bit. Race 12 Turf) #11 Shining Copper (5-1).....Love this one. First time Pletcher for a 4yo and first time lasix. Keying with the 12-3-7. Race 13) #6 Confrontation (6-1) - #4 Bad Hombre (20-1)....Both these horses like the track, are running the ideal condition and can improve. Could be a bomb exacta. Don't love anything of value big time....but a lot of ok plays. Hopefully 1 or 2 hit. Good Luck....and don't wager more than you can afford to lose.......
  12. Barry Williams Barry Soetoro Both White.... Both Entertaining.... One ran for Class President against his sister.... One is the President of the United States.....
  13. Not only that...if you think you are pulling the wool over someone....it works great. Look what Bledsoe did to the Bills! Myers in Toronto would be perfect.
  14. ;) I didn't see anything much.....I don't need to see guys riding the soccer mom unicycle. I just want to see raw meat. When I get a shot I can dig a little deeper.
  15. We know from the picture it's only to get a better sightline on the Junior High.......
  16. I was raised around guns and I am not "comfortable" with them. I remember when I would have to get something where they were stored and being very hesitant. I was trained how to treat them with respect, and techniques to refine aim and become ambidextrous. I don't "like" guns. I don't hunt, I have no occupation that requires it. I would hate to fire on anyone...and would just as easily bash their head in with a swing of a 40lb barbell. You know....it's a little more personal that way? But I understand the world, human nature, and how essential it is for just people to have an opportunity to defend righteousness. Anyone that defiles the 2nd amendment is obviously too spoiled in their life to understand what that means. Just by living in the USA in the past is 95% proof. God Bless us all.....
  17. I know you are 62% FOS, but anyhow....if anyone knows a good site to at least see pictures of these guys, let me know. I'm spoiled by the NFL. From what I have seen....this crew is physically inferior from last year. I mean....a lot of these guys are awkwardly built and look like muscled up boys. Last year a kid like Nikushkin looked like Ivan Drago. Ekblad isn't bad at all from just appearance....but he's still a little asymmetrical. Strong neck and good build, but just not that deep chest that triggers me to believe elite athlete. For a big wingspan, his shoulder isn't wide. Reinhart is decent for his stature. Looks more ready than Bennett. Draisaitl.....don't touch him on looks alone. Dal Cole....ok, and probably the most symmetric of the top 5. Still....I saw 5 guys in the top 15 last year that were clearly beautiful physical beings...all better than this crew. That's why if anyone has a good source, let me know.
  18. That explains Hodgson and Patrick then too.....
  19. New reports coming in.....it pretty much is the Steve Ott scenario.
  20. I'm saying both.....a trade of top terrorist leaders for a POW was a major concern and head scratcher....then the fact the guy is a traitor and the two go together to make this an exponential cluster-f.
  21. Zuccarello has quickly become one of my favorites in the league.
  22. Not only that....he's been able to scout every team the past 5 years from 3 feet away. You don't think he sees and hears stuff every night that gives him insight on stuff even players' own GM's don't know?
