\"That is NOT correct unless the planets have realigned and there is an alternate universe.

1 point = 2 lengths at 1 1/4

Not one length = 2 points.

Believe u two are talking Beyer points. Not TG points.

Hmm... Wonder if that means all those beyer conversion posts by muff are wrong?\"

I think I started the misinformation. It\'s still a tough race to score. That\'s a 3 to 4 point margin on raw distance, you\'re correct.

Agree. Watched CC\'s bid for the crown at the Wynn book last June. An hour to post and the place was already packed in like a rock concert. A couple dozen or so were wearing nasal strips.

To put it another way, those of us looking to bet against AP in the Belmont got EXACTLY the best result.

Can he win? Sure. But he\'s for sure less likely than Smarty was. Huge betting opportunity.

Rock-- love the nasal strip thing.

Great idea, Roger! I\'ll wear several of them. It will be easier than applying my usual amounts of sunscreen.

Well I sure miss your post,as I had a couple of questions to ask..
I was in the Bellagio when Blame beat Z in the BCC..
It was very cool.
Had friends in V town for the Derby some good parties..
Hope Lady Luck was with you last night.

What I want to know, Bob, is whether or not there will be testing for the Open.  If so, I assume you have to turn in a positive in order to be eligible to play.  I haven\'t seen any move ups in the past few years.  I\'ve mostly played like the typical Finger Lakes plug shipping into the Spa.

Sean was a big move-up a couple of years ago.

No worries there, Roger. I\'m certain to test positive for something, even if it\'s only Benicar.

Years ago when I had to pee in a cup for my current job I noticed the form said \"4 Drug Panel\" and I thought to myself \"FOUR??? Damn, I\'m 1/9 to hit for at least one of these!\" Now, after 15 years with the company, I\'m starting to think it wasn\'t to screen out degenerates, but rather, an unstated and slyly forward-looking job requirement.

I heard Dortmund is out for Belmont.  Is this true?  Love how a horse who was undefeated going into the derby suddenly needed a change of pace in the Preakness.  Like I say if we could devise of figure for the stupidity of trainers and jockeys it would be a breakthrough of the highest order.
