Okay, I'm going out on limb here asking this question, but then again, maybe not, as equine handicapping is one of the addictive arts, just as sex, drugs, and drink are.
Anyone got a nice long shot for us tomorrow? I just started looking at the fields today, so as of now I don't have any sure thing (by the way, for those not in the know, there is no such thing as a "sure thing" when it comes to the Sport of Kings), but I'll keep looking.
This would be a great time for one of our Britsh or Irish cousins to come through with one of those "euros" that will be overlooked at the windows at Belmont and Keeneland and Santa Anita....
Will I get any responses?

Can I get a witness? I need some of that "green salad of salvation"!

Bet Neil Drysdale's horse on the turf race. I think its name is Fourty Niners Son. You'll get a good price too.

That's good chatter from Boston! I'll stick him, at 15-1 morning line, with Borego and Shakespeare in an exacta box. Thanks. Drysdale is always worth a bet, 'cause he brings 'em in ready to run.

Remember, success has many fathers but failure is an orphan. If you lose I will say that there is no such thing as a sure thing, and why the hell are you listening to me anyway, but if you win, expect me to show up and demand a percentage.
Drysdale always does well in turf races, and he doesn't enter a horse unless he thinks the horse is live and has a chance to win. He has won this same race in the past.

Rainer, ABC, and Ignatbandit,
I went with a hunch bet in the Distaff: Pleasant Home. I'm currently living in Amsterdam, which is indeed a pleasant home, therefore.... Not a bad hunch when you get the giant killer himself, Shug McGaughey, as trainer. You get Pleasant Colony on the mare side, and we all know how the Pleasant Colony horses love a route of ground. At 20-1 morning line, well worth a flyer.
Time to get ready to go to the Irish Pub on the Rokin for a couple of cold Stella's and the greatest day of horse racing . I'll report back the results.
Thanks for your comments and help.

Yeah, I did okay. Put up $61 total and got back about $220 for a net of $160, which evens me out because my bike got stolen today (didn't do the double lock), so I'll need to get another. Also, was only able to watch the last three races because The Kara bartender was intent on watching football. Oh well, good day over all. On the b-ball scene, my boys defeated the league leader, a previously undefeated team.
This is Luther Vandross signing off for the last time. Time to give the name a rest and let my namesake rest in peace. Luther, thanks for all the love tracks to those endless romantic couplings. To paraphrase Moses Malone's mother, "ya done good". Peace, real Luther Vandross.
