I will bet you a pound of gummy bears the Red Sox win the game tonight.

You on?

They have to be good quality, not the cheap kind you get at grocery stores. The real stuff they sell at candy stores.

Fine. Are you one of the Saratoga guys. I will be up there for the Jim Dandy and the Test, so I can collect either weekend. I will take a pound of swedish fish.

Tim, are you going to say every single race that doesn't include Flower Alley is a crappy race like you did last year with the Suburban or this year with the New Orleans Handicap that only featured Brass Hat, et. al.?

The problem is that every year the older horse division seems to get thinner and thinner and thus these Grade 1s get fields of mediocrities. It isn't like last year's Suburban was a good field either.

To be honest, I much prefer a competitive race, like last year's running and perhaps this year's, to a pretty uncompetitive field save one horse, like Mineshaft's win. And, at least they are a slightly higher grade of mediocrity that the co-featured Mother Goose is attracting.

Slot-
Brass Hat is a likeable guy. How can I not root for a man name Buzz?
I would put him on the respectable 2nd tier of older horses with maybe Buzzards Bay, Perfect Drift and Funny Cide. The first tier includes the Lava Man, Surf Cat and Flower Alley. Thats it.

As far as the Suburban, I am all for it. I love competitive betting races. The public will have no clue as to who to bet.

Whats up with the sprint division this year? Can you make any sense of it?
Is Anew for real, is Bordonaro physically not stable, what happened to Don Six?
