chantal is the greatest/blanc too ..they should have kids produce the worst jock ever,,,,,,,,

Just can't put serious money on a pick 6 out there.

nope i didnt play at all......to wild a card......and the funny thing is if the 1/5 dont get up here it thinned out 85 perc....imo

I hate Tyler Baze.I am man enough to admit it.

Costume.....huh

Time for him to get booted off this ride. He had the perfect idea out of the gate but he let the 6 carry him towards the turn. if he let the 6 clear and go biserk, Mamba wins easily with pace.

That was an unbelievably bad ride.

My new top 5 list of bad jocks in So Cal that actually get mounts more than once a week. (Does not include the Cedeno's and Chantal's)

1. Solis
2. Garcia
3. Blanc
4. T Baze
5. A Gryder

...........gryder needs to go to the top. other
than that i cant fault your list. b.t.w who was the jock who butchered the
1 horse to kick off the p6?? that was a joke.

Blanc

really......he sent me to the parking lot. i had him boxed with the 4:mad:

BLANC had 2 good mounts,and blew them both.Good luck getting him mounts after today.You only get so many chances to get ya head out ya ass.

WOW!! One ticket nails this thing, I would think it has to be a VERY LARGE ticket, and probably a syndicate ticket.

I bet it was a senior citizen that played a $2 quick pick.

With the exception of the 6 who B Free agin said watch out for ,damn it, they were all f--in reachable!!

One of my most frustrating days ever!! The ticket I have the 1 in the last on doesn't have the 4 in the 5th and vice versa......A....B my ass cave man would have made about 30K but NOOOOOOOO!! I have to try and keep the cost down with these statistical likelyhoods........I am going to stop now before I say something really inappropriate...

Good thing this P6 got hit because the next 3 cards just are pathetic

Probably these guys at the local OTB

so far at sa these riders are terrible


BLANC
GRYDER
GARCIA

Really don't know how Blanc can be riding this poorly on turf.He use to be able to get them to relax,and come with a beautiful run.He better find it very quickly,or he will be riding cheap claimers on the turf in Frisco.

More like Turf Paradise, or he will invade Arlington like he tried a couple years ago
