That great collection of older males in So. Cal...

“I never saw a Santa Anita Handicap where trainers are going to the racing office asking for more weight for their horses, so they can get in the race,” said Baffert, who, in addition to Grade II stakes winner Misremembered, is hoping to get in with likely lightweights Mr. Big and Spurrier.

BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!

It's been almost 20 minutes and no reference of 'The Ole Ball Coach' or that guy who dated Carrie on Sex in the City?

I think even among degenerate horseplayers in the North ... those two are better known than the Baffert horses named after them.

The big guns are really scaring them off....

I believe Mr. Big was previously trained by John Shireffs. That would be an interesting footnote were he to somehow win.

I wonder why Baffert doesn't try to start Mythical Power and Viscount, too.

Yep.

But, a 7-year-old winning the Big Cap off of back to races where you miss the trifecta ticket in n2x alw races might be an even more interesting footnote.

I wonder what he's trying to accomplish, or if he's just making light of California's pathetic situation.

Is the mare St. Trinians somehow excluded if the race is oversuscribed?

No - I think the 14 horses with the highest weight assignments that enter get to run. I think the weights come out on Sunday. They can't keep her out.

I'm just wondering how frequently you watch Sex and the City?

Anybody who thinks of a character from Sex in the City instead of the late 80's/early 90's hair band when "Mr. Big" is mentioned should have their man card immediately revoked.

"To Be With You" just missed being in his top 3 favorite songs.

Heh.

Though I know a lot of straight guys who watched it religiously. They'd watch anything that regularly showed boobs. Apparently, this season of "Big Love" has been very disappointing.

"Big Love" HAD been disappointing until the end of Sunday's episode, when Bill's mother hacked Hollis Greene's arm off with a machete. It was like Ben Kenobi and Walrus Man in the Creature Cantina!

I agree, that moment was a sack full of awesome. Gawker's recap called it "A Farewell to Arm."

I didn't even get the name of the show correct.

But - if Bruno had asked me at a camp fire - I'd say I'm probably Samantha or something.
