It feels so good. I just like being right. It really feels good to pick the right horse.

CONGRATS A.P., V. Espinoza and B. Baffert......I just like being right. It feels good to pick the right horse.

You were? Way to go Dicky, this is a big accomplishment! You learned how to pick the favorite in a horse race!

But I wouldn't take off the helmet yet . . . .

It's as hard to stick with chalk as it is to try and beat it. Sometimes you just have to say I'm betting the favorite, for good if not obvious reasons usually. I did and am very pleased with the results.

And a great grandson, I believe, of the great Storm Cat . . . even better in my book.

Which is your favorite?

I think I like the one that begins with "I like winning" the best.

It's subtle, you know?

talking Baffert...it Is A Little Strange To Have 1 Trainer Likely Running The 2 Post Time Favs.

I Mean... How Can He Not Be Pulling For 1 Just A Little bit More?

they both have good posts...their race to lose.

What made you reconsider your stance as AP and Dortmund being the only ones with a chance for the win?

Just wondering.
