3 for Derby Day: I like the cutback for Taris. Divisidero has a wicked turn of foot if rode as a last run closer. Nyquist simply looks best.

Wow, didn’t see that one coming! 🤯
He might be the better Colt, but showing up in Indiana on weekdays to drive OOMM felt like he had already made his decision…

Let’s recap a fun night at the OTB: I forgot which horse at BigM was a Joe B trainer change until it was 5 races too late. Needed a 50-1 horse for 2nd in Canada and he was a nostril short. Closed it out with back to back races with hooked wheels… Carts not fun tonight!

@gocashking @Pullthepocket I used to say Yanni treats post 10 like the rail on a half mile track…

@barshoelife Lived in DC for 12 years, never missed the then best sprint race in the Country, the De Francis Memorial Dash. Housebuster, Lite The Fuse, Smoke Glacken, Kelly Kip…

The hell with the Preakness, Race 8 provided the best bet of the year so far, an Asmussen sprinter with Jose up instead of his kid! He raced his nuts off on the pace the whole way and gets tagged right on the wire, Ugh!

[Brad Griffin @IlliniGriff]

Your ball lands in the rough of a Major.
It’s a par 3.
Can’t drop closer to the hole.
Forward is closer, so no.
R or Back keeps it in the rough, so yes.
L puts it on the putting surface, so no.
Wait, what, you can put it on the green?
Make it make sense?
Golf’s dumb rules… 🤷🏼‍♂️

@thestaggieman @USASteeplechase The 🐐 of the best race ever!

[Brad Griffin @IlliniGriff]

@Pullthepocket He’s definitely a freak! I imagine he & Jangles will have very few chances to hookup but whenever they do, it will be epic!

[Brad Griffin @IlliniGriff]

@Whaleyville5 In a simulcast world, I’m guessing their signal doesn’t reach the same places that M1 & Mobine does…

[Brad Griffin @IlliniGriff]

@TheMeadowlands @TheTriactor The greatest horse ever lost the only race of his life!
