Is that one of those tangent type posts that Hitler was defending against attack from Justin Dew?

You almost never see horses like Jr's Exchange ... and when you do - it's always an alchemist laying out the bait - and they inevitably vanish from the earth when they get claimed by some low percentage horsemen.

Bennett might have been caught with a bad test on this horse - but he's not even close to being an alchemist.

It's been a long day, but is this horse the griddle guy's horse? Because the whole thing is confusing.

I'm confused too. GB is still listed as the trainer.

The griddle guy is probably about 50 or so ... this is not the horse Bennett hooked him up with.

It was sort of a good ole days story he told me about back in the day when he trained in Detroit.

Poorly told story indeed.

His past performances are the story - the rest is just background on the trainer and background on the running lines.

Look at race 2 at AQU tomorrow, Randall ... you'll get an actual idea of the type of form horses bring into races at that class level.

Speaking of which - bet everything on Suttle Rich. He CAN'T lose.

There was no transition from "I really hated that owner" to "Jr's Exchange stamped . . . ." Retirement was hell on you.

I think I wrote that whole thing up in like 6 minutes while I was also jerking my pud, doing my taxes, and scanning Saturday's entries at a few tracks.

The day I have to start laboring over a message board post - with total focus - like it's a column... is the day I really do retire forever.
