The Road to the Final Four

[Silver Charm]

Finally it\'s here.

No were not talking about Duke, UConn, Ga Tech or Ok State. With the referees in the bag Duke can\'t lose. No were talking about the Santa Anita Derby, Blue Grass Stakes, Wood Memorial, and Ark Derby.

After all the analysis of baby race winners, two year old stakes, early three year old preps you pretty much can throw all that out the window and zero in on these preps and their respective competitors. I know there are other races (Ill Derby, Lexington)but at his point in time they look like the NIT. Hey doesn\'t mean you can\'t bet on em.

The good news is that these are not single elimination events and there may losers who look as good as the winners or as far as sheets go EVEN FASTER. The bad news is that filling time in between we have to suffer thru races like the Apple Blossom, Oaklawn Hcp, Carter, Bayshore, Ashland, Commonwealth Breeders, etc, etc. I know, I know its kind of like watching Cindy Crawford take her clothes off and crawl into your bed every night--hey somebodys gotta do it right.

Not that I\'m eagerly anticipating the upcoming events but are the sheets up yet. And I don\'t mean just for Saturday I talking about the next nine weeks--I\'ve got work to do.

Good Luck

 Great Post!

Love the analogy to the Final Four.

Methinks you discount the Illinois Derby however. It is run on something of an oddball track, but the last few runnings have turned up some very good horses. I\'m not sure anyone considered them good until the race was over however.

Cindy Crawford has that mole thing going on. I\'m not sure that I wouldn\'t get fixated on that mole and then fail to appreciate the perfections. I think I\'d prefer Angela Jolie crawling naked. She just has that \"crawling naked\" aura about her. (It might be the pout) But then again, her Dad is Jon Voight and she resembles him when he was young. I think I\'d see \"Joe Buck\" crawling naked every time I\'d look at her, so that won\'t do either.

I think celebrities are like horses in a sense. The ones held in high regard many times come up second best to talent and heart that slipped beneath the national radar and went under appreciated.
