While the odds are obviously horrible, this is pretty cool:

Only to find out that I didn\'t qualify in time...

Guess I won\'t be making a token wager after all.

How many are in this year and with how many entries? I\'m in with just one entry. Tried chasing a second, but life interferes and one will be enough to have a good time.

Didn\'t get the 30/1 you were looking for, but hopefully you whacked the exotics. Nicely done!

The Gr.II, $200k Monmouth Stakes closes in two days. Quick wheelback running on June 9th, but haven\'t read of any real monsters heading there. 9 furlongs won\'t be a problem.

I haven\'t read the post that is being discussed (if someone could direct me, I\'d be interested to see it), but in a game which at its roots is one set of connections saying, My horse is faster than yours\", getting upset at the opposition for saying they don\'t like the chances of your horse is silly, especially in a handicapping forum.

I can only imagine the fury they feel when looking at the tote and seeing all of those opinions cast against them. But somehow owners and gamblers are different groups of people. Nothing could be further from the truth.

I don\'t read the forum often, but I too hope you don\'t censor yourself going forward to appease others. Good luck in the weeks to come.

I meant that if someone wants JUST the pre-entries now and not the seminar or final sheets later, would that be an option. I just went through my e-mails and it looks like this hasn\'t been an option since 2009. I\'ll just wait for the finals upon draw date.

Is there going to be the option of buying just the data without future downloads if the finals or seminar?

49-1 online on AK soon after his one work.

Spinning World in the 1997 Mile at 6-1 at Bally\'s about a month before the race. Not some huge score, but considering he was 2/1 in the gate, I\'ll take it.

I only had 2 horses in the last leg, the 4 and the 10. I shouldn\'t even have watched the race. I\'m not one to redboard and piss and moan, but this would have been a monumental score.

How did the 7 get run down in the 8th race? Who needs a $2 Pick 4 with two 25/1 shots in it? Not me. This is going to be a tough one to shake.

From drf.com:

\"I won\'t be doing anything, as far as the everyday at the barn,\" he said. \"I\'ll come out for the races. And I might gallop a horse or two for Cindy or maybe haul a horse for her if she needs me to.\"

Doesn\'t sound like a guy that is going to be doing the work. From my run-ins with him in his early years at Delaware Park, his word is good. There aren\'t many left cut from the same cloth as Larry Jones.

In Saturday\'s Pick 6 at Belmont, this was the only horse I whiffed on. Picking up three consos is nice, but totally misreading this one is still bothering me tonight. Did the race totally fall apart, or did GGG actually move up?

In reading her sheet, I didn\'t cut her any slack for the clunker in the Oaks. Coming off of a 4 point top and almost 7 points in development, to run the way she did off of 5 weeks rest to me put her well behind the supposed favorites of the field. I figured he to run in the 7 range. For the record, I had the 4,7, and 8 as my \"A\'s\" with no backups. For those that played her, how did you read this sheet? If the race merely fell apart, I guess the question is moot.

Thanks in advance.
