Not me I will easily say.. \"You were totally dead on and I was totally wrong about the horse.\" I am a believer now (started leaning that way after the derby). He isn\'t going to be the best Triple Crown Winner and he won\'t be the fastest but he is a better then this crop and that is all that matters. It will be good for Horse Racing to finally have another Triple Crown winner, lets just hope he is sound after his Triple Crown run and at least runs a couple more times this year to keep the interest up for the love of the game.

I am just glad I have all his lifetime programs cause if he does win the Triple Crown they are going to be worth a ton! lol

Wonder if Frank whoever is going to come on here again and rip me like he did after the Derby for saying I singled and hit AP in everything again. But this time a $20 pick 4, a $2 pick 5 and a $5 Superfecta. Hope you \"toss\" AP out the exotics again.

[Chas04]

Covello I am with you 1000%!!! Can\'t wait for the Belmont. Tickets just got here!

[TreadHead]

JB I know you do not delete posts, but could we at least capture nominations for (most annoying) performance in a post and have an awards banquet at the end of the year?

[Chas04]

I\'ll embrace that Tread. Most of the people on ESPN are famous because of their (---) qualities.

[Bet Twice]

I\'ll assume you don\'t know any better, but it\'s considered poor taste to talk about your winning bets after the race was run.  It\'s fine to post the combinations you are going to bet pre-race, to possibly benefit others but nobody really cares how much you claim to have won.  Many people on this board hit the Preakness or one of the hundreds of other races run over the last couple of days.

In the immortal words of Vince Lombardi, act like you\'ve been there before.

[TreadHead]

ESPN personalities redboard \"$20 pick4s\"?  News to me

[miff]

AP gets a 102 Beyer for Preakness and now sits on the dreaded 0 2  pattern going to the Belmont.I can hear the Kool Aid drinkers howling.

[T Severini]

What\'s the gauge? two points per length at Tgraph?

Say Tale of Verve runs his 12 again. Beaten 7 lengths that puts AP in at about a minus 2.

I\'m guessing Verve had some wide in there and AP did not, but I\'m not sure backing Beyer at 0-2 is gonna you the bounce.  It\'ll get you something, but why would Beyer be able to calculate that Preakness. I listened to him on a DRF podcast and he literally could not string 3 words together.

Age gets us all, but Beyer?

\"Say Tale of Verve runs his 12 again. Beaten 7 lengths that puts AP in at about a minus 2\"


Correct!! guessing you will get a person to person from JB with an offer to replace Alan making figs

[joemama]

Wow , pretty good day. Was doing some rough math.  Pick 4 brought back roughly 10k.  Pick 5 roughly 4k. Superfecta close to 10k.  That\'s around 25k back in 1 race.  How much did it cost you to get it?

[FrankD.]

REALLY!!!

Pick 4 sequence is 11 x 11 x13 x 1 = $1,573 for a $1

Pick 5 sequence is 11 x 11 x 11 x 13 x 1 = $ 17,303 for a $1

[ringato3]

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?

Yeah maybe, but you\'ve got some Wide and Improvement to factor. Other\'s with reliable figs (Firing Line, Dortmund) going off form. It\'s not gonna be easy, even for Alan.

[FrankD.]

Your safe chuckles Alan doesn\'t make figures!
