@ShotTakingTime No kidding! Caramouche almost choked Laurelin off her feet and then when he asked her to go you could see the confusion on her face like, "What the fuck does this guy want from me?"

@GregReinhart Yeah, for sure it makes the final anticlimactic.

[Roaring Good Time @roaringgoodtime]

@GregReinhart Why should the best horses have more advantage than they already do? I understand owners want a jogburger elim and the best post in the final. That isn't really great for the gambler.

[Roaring Good Time @roaringgoodtime]

@Pullthepocket Why should some other horse in Burke's barn always get to duck Louprint or Loua Dipa in elims?

[Roaring Good Time @roaringgoodtime]

@Pullthepocket I get that it steals some thunder from the final. But I don't think seeding elims is great either. There are too many advantages to the top horses. Oak Grove is doing it right. Open draw and no automatic separation for entries in elims.

@DerbySuperfecta @EJXD2 @jonathanstettin @wire_right @fatbaldguyracin @Zipseatthetrack Who do you think will have the lead? Could Growth Equity wire the field? After all his howling about Sierra Leone is the Commish going to use Powershift as a rabbit?

@DOM_Frederic @North2North It's a funny game.

[Roaring Good Time @roaringgoodtime]

@smarchele @nickseevers @EmilyOptixEQ Me too! The teacher asked what 9 - 5 was and I said $5.80 if you get a break on the change.

@katrosenfield You're definitely nubile. Mine is Duane Josephson.

@KenWo4LiFe @AlTheBoss03 Modern day Satchel Paige. He was prevented from playing in the big leagues in his prime. Was probably in his 40s when he pitched for the Sox. He'd be in my Hall of Fame.

@Tinky47flat @ARodriguezVera The Old Guard acted quickly to institute the Chrysler (later VISA) $5 million Triple Crown bonus.

@TSpeeps @KenWo4LiFe @SpiegsAndHolmes @MattSpiegs He's the last legitimate manager they've had. He wouldn't have lost that game last night.

@PCA4FC Oddly enough, Swanson is getting on base at about the same percentage that Crow-Armstrong has for his entire career.

@Danegan50 @EJXD2 I bet Umbrella Fella that day too. That race was actually my awakening to playing for value. I had been reading Frank Cotolo's gambling essays. I was trying to get my head around betting against the horse I thought had the best chance to win because of price.

[Roaring Good Time @roaringgoodtime]

@jbravo111 @HallCash40359 Not the "MVP" who gets on base 28% of the time?

[Roaring Good Time @roaringgoodtime]

@Pullthepocket It's a long drive from Oak Grove. Who cares about the "fans." Most of them are in the casino playing video poker. Gotta accommodate the drivers and owners.

@DougieSal Move the Met Mile back!
