The IEAH crowd are total scumbags and part of me wants them to run Big Brown and lose. But I think he's going to win the Belmont. We'll remember the horse down the road and not the 3/4owners and their hanger ons.

okay. inspired by this non sequitur i'll add this.
i'm not a serious handicapper having given up once i realized i was either not smart enough or too lazy. i'm pretty much dead money in the pools.
but i did ride for a while when i wanted to nail this girl who was wasting her life training show arabians and being a hot lipstick lesbian with a fat unattractive girlfriend with a serious personality disorder.
i thought a lot of myself at the time and considered the possibility she would give up munching carpet for me a real possibility. the fact i had a dick didn't seem a real handicap when compared to a bipolar bisexual whale.
as it turned out she was, in fact, a lesbian.
at this point, i should have realized i wasn't a good handicapper. but it took a few more years afterwards.
nonetheless, i did ride. just not what i wanted.
