The first step should be making oneself an expert on the history of previous racing boycotts.

The answer should depend on how good you are. Most people shouldn\'t have bet the original P5.

Wasn\'t that Fresca?

Putting this board on the honor system is like putting Jim Bouton in a confessional.

Who is John Galt?

Barbaro was post 10. Big Brown was 12.

Check the company that made the video, and check the date. This is all nonsense.

Yeah, their numbers are accurate to within a few IQ points.

Since you are playing dumb...

You wrote: \"I think in a total of 9 career races Sierra Leone and Mindframe have NEVER been inside another horse.\"

 This is ALL CAPS BS. It is wrong for both horses.

I wouldn\'t care except that it brings back bad memories.So I am going to risk violating one of Richiebee\'s posting rules by quoting myself from about 15 years ago:

\"I don\'t disbelieve something until Silver Charm asserts it in ALL CAPS.\"

Watch his debut.

By the way, when you use ALL CAPS, is it on the grounds that you should swing hard in case you happen to hit the ball?

Duran fought Leonard three times.

Episodes 1 AND 2? I might check the show out, since the grotesqueness seems to be working.

As for the "Welcome to the pools" line, do you remember the last time you used it here?

On the impossibility of keeping Paul Matties out of the pools: I totally agree. And I think the reason for the impossibility might be worth a minute or two of thought.

On your shift to the literal as you made the above point: I forgive you for wanting to try that move. I cannot forgive you for deciding to try it.

And finally, nothing that you have written is anywhere near as grotesque as the ending Sorkin put on his godawful Lucille Ball movie.

\"Welcome to the pools\"

This line is presumptuous, condescending, self-congratulatory, and fuc#ing grotesque. And do you really want Dahlman and about 90% of Paul Matties in the pools?

\"'Don\'t play a horse to bounce until they do' is idiotic."

Ditch the politics—both the Sheets politics and the politics politics—and I could learn to like you.

\"What are they going to do with the \"Against All Odds\" statue at Arlington Park?\"

Phil Collins is taking it to the Alamo.
