Congratulations again to Jim Covello and all connected on a very big win!
Jim, You and family looked good on the video in the winners circle.
Beach Patrol sure has developed into a special horse.

Richie - thanks for the movie tip! and for another classic post.

P-Dub - good selections in SAR races 10 & 11 I hope the $39 late double with the square win prices made your day.

As for Soupy Sales - Thanks for that also.

Changing World - Four (4) Aussie and two (2) Korean tracks going tonight on twinspires.

Thanks Tavasco.

Didn\'t play the late double, but had a win ticket on both winners and hit the last race ex/tri/super. The Rice/JJ FTS a must use.

Congratulations to Jim C, couldn\'t happen to a nicer guy.

I never thought I\'d see a better trainer than Bobby Frankel in my lifetime, but Chad and his team are the best I\'ve ever seen.

Very well said, per usual, Richie.  I liken Mr. Brown to Nick Saban and the Alabama football program.  While I\'m not a fan in the least, it\'s abundantly clear that not only does the man know the game of college football, and I mean \"game\" in the broadest sense, he also has the highest level of resources at his disposal, inclusive of facilities and staff. Yes, \"them that\'s got, shall have,\" indeed.  Skeptics love to lob accusations at the Alabama program for academic corners cut or the possibility of money changing hands, surreptitiously, but, so far, there is no proof, and there may never be.  Good is good.

The comparison between Chad Brown and Nick Saban is an interesting one. Saban will
enjoy his outlandish compensation package whether he wins or loses; of course
after a couple of years of losing all bets are off. I would imagine that Mr.
Brown\'s compensation is largely comprised of his percentage of purses won. Mr.
Brown can survive and thrive with a 30 percent strike rate; most likely Mr.
Saban would be moving along after two or three 3-10 seasons.

A musical footnote regarding Miss Billie Holiday\'s \"God Bless The Child\": On Blood
Sweat and Tears\' second album, Blood, Sweat and Tears, one might find an
outstanding cover of \"God Bless The Child\". This second album marked the arrival
of vocalist David Clayton Thomas; legendary New York musicians Al Kooper and Randy
Brecker (who provided the haunting trumpet on Springsteen\'s \"Meeting Across The
River\") had left the band after their first album.

Nice pick-up on Randy Brecker.  Kooper, born in Queens, was also a contributor to a seminal work -- \"Like a Rolling Stone,\" and the back story to that is worth a Wikipedia peek.  My personal favorite in his barn was the recording of Donovan\'s \"Season of the Witch\" performed on the Super Sessions album in which Kooper was joined by Mike Bloomfield and Stephen Stills.

I believe he also played on(and wrote the organ piece) for the
Stones \"You Can\'t Always Get What Want\"

Great line from perhaps the greatest, or at least, most instructive movie of the past fifty years not based on a Mario Puzo book.  It\'s true about the SEC, and so much more, seemingly every day.

Soupy can be seen every afternoon at 1:30Pm ET on Jewish Life TV - channel 366 on DirecTV.

I remember him telling a joke about how short girl\'s dresses were getting and telling kids to go through daddy\'s pockets and send him the money.

[TGJB]

Second one got him fired.

My favorite \"Soupy Sez\":

\"Early to bed, early to rise,
and you won\'t have red
in the whites of your eyes\".

Not true. It got him suspended for 2 weeks. Show ran for another 2 years afterwards.


Good Luck,
