One thing is clear....she's ten thousand times better than Stewie Elliot. He just lost a race at Aqueduct, the seventh, that no other rider on earth could have lost.

No kidding. I was eating my racing form after that one. 3 out of 4 in the pick 4 made it even better.

That's a lousy beat. He absolutely sucks.

He's beyond horrendous.

Fortunately I went into CEW mode in the finale. Hatta Diamond, to me, was a standout in the race.

Now Cedeno..she's ok I guess. I thought she was on the best horse in the 5th race but didn't have room in the backstretch on the rail and had to lightly tap on the brakes and go to the outside. Not worth a bet back, but the minor trouble possibly cost her the win.

Not sure what you saw that I didn't, but other than being 2w the whole way Elliott never really did anything wrong, he was just 2nd best. The 4 had problems changing leads, and when she finally did she went right by them (and held her lead easily despite switching back to her wrong lead nearing the wire.) He shouldn't have given up the rail out of the gate but it probably wouldn't have mattered.

Phil, he was riding the absolute lone speed on a racetrack that has been very kind to speed, especially at two turns. She absolutely had the lead to herself, Dominguez was not perservering, and he just gave it up to be outside, which is deadly on the inner at two turns on many occasions. They crawled and he just gave up the advantage he was given. She's a faint hearted sprinter trying to stretch to a two turn win. The absolute best way to get that done is to attempt to wire the field.

Had she held her position, the pace could have been pretty much just as slow and she would have held the inside, and perhaps not allowed the winner up the rail. Could she still have lost? Of course, but this is not the way you ride to your strengths and the track's strengths. Elliot has no clue and only wins races because he rides miracle horses for Assmussen ( did you catch the one in Thursday's 3rd race by the way? ).

How do guys like this win Derby's? I realize the horse runs the race but this guy has screwed me out of more money at Delaware when he had much the best it is a performance crime of the worst kind..... and then when you bet against them with a marginal talent they pick that race to do something halfway savy.....I think it is more maddening when they win with a mediocre horse......

Sometimes I just get the feeling that you guys would love to see HBO do a one-hour special on my sperm trail.

Get that daughter of NP talking about how I've gone about rationing out my goo.

Maybe interview some of my past conquests, and ask them if I ever tied them up, pitched it in their eyeballs, and if I was prone to punching them in the back of the head in the throes of passion while screaming Bo Schembechler's name at the top of my lungs and wearing a Tom Brady Michigan jersey... things like that.

Did you have to tie him down, or did he give it up willingly?

Although I'm a big Hoyas fan, I have a slight fondness for that upset still. Though I still don't know how in the hell it happened!

That's some mojo! Now, if you put up the Washington Generals and they win, it may get scary.
