Sorry, doc, I had a little...
You know.
The mind is a strange thing, men.
We must begin by asking it...
..."What is losing?"
Losing is a disease...
...as contagious as polio.
Losing is a disease...

Losing is a disease...
...as contagious as bubonic plague...
... attacking one...
... but infecting all.
But curable.
Now, I want you to imagine...

That's OK, I hit the triple today, so all is good!

Nice hit. I saw the price posted on NBC but forget what it paid - Wasn't bad for a 5/2 shot on top. Of course the big field of course helped the price, and a lot of players probably threw out the filly.
That filly was one heckuva horse - a real shame there.
Frankly, this Big Brown looks like a monster - Best 3 year old horse I've seen in a long time. That horse was just having fun at the end of that race - wasn't even that tired, and still ran green - a wide trip which is brutal at Churchill, and he didn't switch his lead smoothly at all in the stretch, and still drew away easily - Scary good.
Will probably be 1-9 in the Preakness, and then 1-5 at Belmont.

Paid $3,400+, more than I thought since Big Brown and Eight Belles were both favorites, though Denis of Cork was a long shot. I hate to see a horse put down like that...looked like she overextended herself trying to catch Big Brown. Agree with you on Big Brown's size and stature...she's a monster and may have a shot for the Triple Crown if all breaks his way.

Mortal lock 1-9 shot in the Preakness - I can't see more than five or six horses in there and the owners know they'll be running for second. Even for a premier race like the Preakness, most owners don't want their good 3 year old horse trying to run with a monster like this - it's not worth it to them. Will be a short field also in the Belmont, but some stalkers/closers will enter to take a shot at this horse in the stretch - won't do any good.
I've never predicted a Triple Crown winner off a Derby win...ever, except for now - I can't see how this horse can lose these next two races - today it soundly beat all of the top competition out there.

ill tell you guys this much the nl east is the weakest didvision in the nl! all teams either not good or all just underperforming!
them where they belong at the bottom of the division just above the Marlins.
