I'm going to be watching football and eating chili. I'll flip to ESPN when it's post time. I can't watch all of the melodrama between races. Look, I know your kid has IBS and it's a pain in the rear but I don't give a crap.

Calling in bets with my father-in-law from his hospital room as he recovers from heart surgery. The guy sharing his room won't know what the hell is going on...

Guy is a freakin Trooper, got a blood transfusion last Friday before his surgery and still called in his picks for our Belmont Handicapping Pool on Saturday morning. THAT is dedication.

What’s up Derby Trailers! First time poster here. This is a great site for horse racing. My favorite day of the year is approaching fast.

My plan is to go down to my OTB early Saturday and make all my bets. On the way home I’m going to stop by the store and pick up some deli fixen’s. Then I will watch it @ home. I would watch & wager on it at the OTB or Turf Paradise but it’s so crowed at the OTB’s on Breeder cup day I think I’d rather make my bets and watch it on my big screen at home. I will definitely be flipping around to some college football too. Who’s going to lose in the top 5 this week?

Working damn basketball practice from 730 am till 1130 AM...then home to catch the action. Nobody better get hurt:mad:

Don't these NCAA coaches know that this is a national holiday for us horseplayers...our super bowl sunday.

Our former coach never practiced on BC day...and we didn't win too many games either with him as our head coach:D

Although I have not looked at a race since the Mass Cap. I'm not ready. I'm going to try and really pour over for a few hours on Friday night. But the more it rains, the less I'll bet.

Watch my UCONN HUSKIES knock off South Florida and drink some beers.

A good Saturday indeed.

Heading to Keeneland to take in the live action there and catch the BC races on simulcast. Hopefully, we'll get to meet up with Chuck and possibly see if a new edition to the DT stables has been claimed??? (I'm in the 02 group and quite excited about it!) Chuck, where could one meet up with you on Saturday to say hi?

Headed down to the local bar/OTB at 9:00 a.m. (yeah, in the phucking morning) to watch and bet the races. No wonder Arizona can't get the ADW situation fixed when they can't even get with the country and onto Daylight Savings Time.

At least I can bet the races at the bar here, though. Should be fun...
