JB,

I think you got your request answered, they
posted the BEL Day figs.

Again, you\'re much cleverer than all those idiots who understand why I didn\'t get involved. And being clever is so impressive--the only thing I don\'t get is why no-one (well, except the other genius) jumps in on your side on any of these issues. After all, lots of Raggies do come here--maybe you\'re just too good for this audience.

\"...the only thing I don\'t get is why no-one (well, except the other genius) jumps in on your side on any of these issues.\"

Thanks Pops - genius runs in the family I guess.

Sure hope paranoia and insecurity doesn\'t.

No Nunzio, they have not. Only for the BStakes. HP

HP,

Sorry, I thought when they posted 6/15 BEL in the thread they were putting them up.

Did you see Street Cry dismantle the
Steven Foster field ?  That was as impressive
a performance as I have seen in some time.

Unless you found something we can\'t, it\'s the day without the figures they ran. Which is an amazing concept--give your customers something they have already paid for. And an admission that they don\'t want to be subject to the same kind of scrutiny they were exposed to after the B.C. and preakness. Why else not post them?

JB,

Sorry for the false alarm, I saw a post labeled BEL 6/15 & I just assummed thats
what it was.  My bad.

I saw it. Only the amazing Victory Gallop stopped him from getting the Stakes Record Time.

Now why is it that Baffert can\'t get his horses to run in that race, which happens to be in Kentucky? Not the first time. I would be curious, Mr. Jerry \"it\'s Baffert in Kentucky\" Brown.

That is, if you\'re not too busy with the mental giants from Rag-ville.

By the way, it would be nice if you would credit my amazing empirical observations with enabling you to see where to split the variant on Belmont day, even if you\'re not giving me any prize. And don\'t forget, I\'m the one who said, \"it\'s a split, not a slide, based on the rate of moisture evaporation in the shadows from the grandstand on the shaded part of the track.\" I said it while I was drinking, so maybe you didn\'t hear me. Other people heard me and told me to shut up.

But of course, you\'re not giving me any credit on the horses I told you to buy either. I also tried to call and wake you up for that $60,000 tri that Ragozin recounts in his great book, but Len Friedman climbed a telephone pole outside of your apartment and cut the wires. Not many people know that part of the story.

Maybe a bit too impressive? Bailey got on Victory Gallop for this race, set a track record, and the horse could only go through the torture one more time. Guided Tour also ran huge in this race, and I think he only ran one more big one afterwards. Bailey has been known to get a bit overzealous in the Pacific Classic, I just hope the horse is alive come October. (just a bitter word from a guy who had a $1,000 KYD futures bet on SC last year, 25-1).

[TGJB]

Actually, I didn\'t hear you because I was drinking. That was Friedman? Listen, when you\'re done making things up with your wife I could use the kneepads back.

[HP]

That whole thing is over and done with. Cash makes kneepads unnecessary. What does she care where it comes from? Live and learn. I did it on purpose so you would have something to talk about.

I wish I could somehow get some money down on a Sarava vs Indy mile and a half race. Indy would have collared Sarava by the far turn, and definitely would have covered the last quarter in less than 26 seconds. He would have won that race by at least 5 lengths. I think Neil \"no train\" Drysdale confused you a bit. They knew what they had in terms of breeding value, and never pushed the horse. He did stretch his legs, however, in the Belmont, and must have run a better figure than Sarava.....MUST HAVE!!

[HP]

Also, obvious question, why did you have the kneepads in the first place? HP

[TGJB]

On a related subject, Chris just got back. She said she didn\'t sleep much the last night she was in Syria, because she was sleeping on a roof in this village and a donkey kept braying.
Okay, enough chit chat--no more posts that aren\'t angry.
