Preakness Day realizations
 

Anyone have one today?

Mine was the moment I thought gee... there are a lot of balding jockeys.

Come on, you know you want to toss one out there... :D

Anyone?

After seeing the results, I realized that Little Matt having a baseball game this afternoon probably saved me a couple of yards.

Lucky you

No that will never due.:p

In order to post you have to have realized something.

It can be about anything... doesn't have to be Preakness related as long as it was a realization today. :D

I hope Matt won, MaTHie. :)

Oh I have another one and I'd post it in the Pad Lock but for reasons obvious to some... well...

I think Joel Rosario is amazing. I would have fallen apart but he kept it together and with grace gave a very nice ride to a very nice horse on a horrible and tragic day.

When I got married 16 years ago I told my wife there were four days a year she couldn't make plans fir me, the triple crown days and Breeders Cup day. Today I gave up a day out with the boys drinking and gambling and went to my son's soccer game and enjoyed every minute of it.

I did make quite a few wagers before I left. ;)

You, Sir, are a gentleman.

I hope your son won. :tro:

I realized that if you put your finger right on the TV, you can pull horses across the finish line, just like a video game.

I realized when I lose the feed and see blue screen on my ADW that voices from beyond are trying to tell me that I should shut it down for the day and quit betting.

I realized.......

once again, how much this game means to me. :{>:

that every now and again truly wonderful opportunites are given to bad people.:mad:

that I wanted Joel Rosario to win the race in honor of his brother.:(

how uplifting and magical it was for me to see I'll Have Another cross the finish line first.:zz:

that, when the angle of the sun is just right, an airiel shot of the horses moving down the backstretch produces perfect shadows of horses and riders.
:D

that I am.
