Bataglia officially jumps the shark with his Oaks ML

[phil23]

Not that this is any great revelation, but his Oaks line is literally insane.

No need to go through it horse by horse as any rational human being can see it. You don\'t even need to be a sheets user to understand. In fact the general public probably would think it\'s off even worse...which given that the ML is supposed to be a reflection of the general public\'s betting, is even more of an inditement.

With Miff no longer posting, I feel the need to \"step up\" and be even more sarcastic.

In a game that has more than its share of idiots, Battaglia is towards the font of the pack.  His race calls may be slightly better than his morning line.....  Which says a lot.

Julia is 8-5 at absolute most, likely lower.

No way in Hell Beholder goes off second choice.  The over/under is 6-1 on her.

How dare you castigate Battaglia.  Where else can you hear \"drawling off\"???  Final Jeopardy.  The answer. A combination of winning a horse race while drooling profusely.  What is DRAWLING OFF!!
