It's time to make a comeback.....

OK Guys,

I purposely banned myself for the majority of the SPA meet because I didn\'t want to engage in the Ctc discussions on and on about \"PLECH\" or get into the drug debate, or the \'SmellMAR\" POLY SUCKS\" discussions that permeate this board, but I\'ve been lurking and following along. Of course the Biancone case is interesting, as is RAGS to RICHES injury. Richebee has this innate ability to strike a chord with the majority.  Glad to see that Chuckles has slowed down his ranting somewhat.

Best Bet of the SPA Meet were Lawyer Ron in the Whitney, and Majestic Warrior in the Hopeful. (or at least they were my personal ones anyway).

But it\'s getting close to KEE time, and could the BC be just around the corner?

Time to get serious about handicapping again.

Lets get busy folks!!

Welcome back, amigo mio.

\"Striking a chord with the majority\" is not a nice thing to say about someone
who 25 years ago (damn I\'m old it was 35 years ago) singlehandedly (with the
help of 249,999 brothers and sisters without arms) brought an end to the
Vietnam War.

I\'ll forgive you though, because I know if Kentucky slaps Biancobra on the wrist
I can put you on the top of the list of serious horseplayers who will be
boycotting Keeneland racing.

I will say you have a lot of work to do to top your BC 06 performance.

Can \"Any Given Jimbo\" be far behind? Look forward to hearing J66\'s take on the
\"Perils of Pletcherine\".

Tony,
Richie said you might know the name of the motel across from the gate to Calumet, and or if it might still be there. Seems like something that would have been gentrified, even in KY. OK, I don\'t mean that the way it sounds. It was something like Black Gold. That would make sense if it\'s close, obviously.

Richie

Will be in Manhattan this week to see the Genesis concert at MSG (I\'ll be be in the front row for this one). Will also see the show at Giants Stadium. Kind of reminiscing a little bit. Anyway, I hit the last two races at the SPA and have taken time off from handicrapping until next weekends festivities at Belmont.

Any chance you\'ll be downtown at all ?

Maybe I\'ll even stop by the village and see what really happens at TG headquarters...

Hey paisan-

I sent you a person to person..

I see that one concert is Tuesday and the other is Thursday. You going to be in
NYC for all three days? Golf? Belmont Wednesday? Mass quantities? Or will you
be hanging out with Phil Collins on Wednesday? Give me a holler,my email and
cell phone are in the P to P message.

When you mentioned visiting the \"mothership\" on Varick Street, for some reason
an image passed through my mind of a degenerate NYC school teacher taking his
sixth graders for a class trip to visit TG headquarters.

Front row is so cool. You should have your hearing back by Breeders Cup Day.

What did you say???


Well I was in town all three days with my wife. As work never permits me to have much fun anymore, any spare time I had was sucked up by work. But I did have great time all days in NYC, Never made it south of MSG to visit the mothership, but I am now enrolled in a six sigma program...so I\'ll be ever more learned than before.

Anyway, it was hectic sunup to sundown.

Will call you to catch up.

I just hopr works lets up a little here.
