Steve-

How bad was the stumble at the start for Weigelia, I didnt see the race?
Do you think it cost him first or second?

Nice comeback for Pomeroy, huh?

This helped kill the pain just now,

a short 30 minute nap outside at the pool, a dip in the pool (man it is hot here) and some sliced tomatoe with garlic salt

dinner in a few will be pasta

time however for a little break from the action, I lost $100 today real quick

All I know is I'd have had the Calder pick 5 thing but in order to save some $$$ the last horse that I considered that I didnt use was Malibu Mint. I convinced myself that Dubai Escapade was the real deal - and in all actuality she should have been - but I knew MM was #2 in this field behind her and should have used her. Saving $20 ended up costing me 31k. Damn, thats really depressing now that I actually really think about it. Coulda, woulda shoulda, dont matter anymore cause I didnt.. Maybe I hit the Powerball...nope not 1 of the 6 numbers - o well

THANK YOU TO STEVE! I played a tri included in your selections...spent 3 bucks and got back 175. Then I got fancy and left off your top selection in another race and it cost a bundle. I think I'll leave the capping to the PRO's

Timmy,

Mike IMMEDIATELY was concerned at the break and barked "He stumbled..", but Lescano recovered him in the 2nd jump and he was on Joey P virtually immediately. Think in the end that it didn't matter a lick. He certainly wasn't holding off Nightmare Affair, and he simply cannot finish ahead of Pomeroy no matter where or when they meet.

The pair has met three times:

Amsterdam (G3) '04: Weigelia 3rd, 2L behind Pomeroy (Bwana Charlie wins)
King's Bishop (G1) '04: Weigelia 2nd 1.5L behind Pomeroy (wins)
Smile (G2) '06: Weigelia 3rd, 1L behind Pomeroy (Nightmare Affair wins)

Kind of bizarre...

Re: Pomeroy, I said Friday on the show and yesterday in the selections that Marty would absolutely not have Pomeroy in that race off that break if he wasn't ready to fire a big shot. Certainlly wasn't "prepping" for something else, right?

Expect them both at Toga next for another rematch, and hopefully Weig's finally turns the table... BTW, Weigelia/SwtNoSaint co-owner Ted Theos was holding a $200 Weigelia-Nightmare Affair exacta ticket... Likely a $50,000 winner if the two hook up.

The brigejumper on Dubai Escapade saved my day and I finished up a few bucks. However spent like Kentness last night and feel like him this morning. Should be nothing but water for me today. Will be out at Arlington. Why I don't know as I could probaby start the oven and crawl inside and get the same feeling. The weather is brutal and we'll have a good chance to hit 100.

Thanks Steve. I missed most of the action yesterday and financially speaking it was a good thing for me. I'll have to watch these races when they show them on races of the week on OTB.

Looking forward to seeing both Weigelia and Pomeroy at Saratoga. Its kind of a shame they dont have any big races on the turf for sprinters like the Jaipur at Belmont. I think Weigelia might even be better on the weeds.

Perhaps they meet again in the Forego.
