Dixie, my friend, excellent to see you here.

Thank you for these what I'm sure are fine selections and if nothing else I am sure we can make fun of them later. Unfortunately I have not looked at much today, most of Aqueduct, and a few stakes around the country.

I believe that Reverberate will be very tough in the feature at Aqueduct, though I doubt at much price, and I will try to at least sneak Bridge Game into the exacta, with a little win bet, in the feature at Churchill.

Best of luck. Big day planned? Be certain to fill us in with the details later.....celebs I hope.

Anyone know if the Sopranos guys are at Aqueduct today? That could be the difference between Carminooch being 5/2 or 3/5.

I doubt they bet that kind of money.

I can't imagine Reverberate won't be favored. His races are simply better than these.

Someone did last time or it was just absolutely terrible morning lines. He was higher than Organizer on the morning line and went off at like 1/6th of the odds in the end.

Too busy spending money on hookers and coke.
Friend worked on the set, said Gandolfini was basically comatose everyday from the night before. Generally high on something every day. Makes his performances look even better.

They seem like good guys. I sat by a lot of them at Belmont on a number of occasions and they were incredibly gracious and generous with their time. I have talked to Michael Imperioli quite a bit and he seems like a great guy. I also have a good friend who had a reasonable role last season and she loved working with them.

How great was Gandolfini in " Get Shorty "?

Lots of people who "party" are good guys. I have some friends who do that stuff and they have some serious jobs. Comes with the territory. I have never smoked a cigarette in my life. Gambling's my vice. And gin.

I did not like Get Shorty.

I saw Michael Imperioli on a YES Network interview show about a month ago. He is a very accomplished individual; he even founded a repertory company in Connecticut with the help of his wife. He is from Westchester County. and is about forty-years-old. He is a devoted Yankee fan; we have that in common. He talked about his father taking him to Mickey Mantle's retirement day. I enjoy The Sopranos and can identify with some of it, since I was born and raised in New Jersey, where I still live. My best friend growing up lived across the street from the restaurant seen on the show. It is all suburban Newark. I never miss the show and get a kick out of people who think New Jersey is just overrun with mob criminals. My husband who is Italian-American laughs at the stereotyping that some take away from the show. The actors are so far from what they play.

Anybody who likes movies, or independant movies, has been a fan of Michael Imperioli's since long before the Sopranos. He was great in " Sweet Nothings " and he's also very good in " Household Saints " which is a terrific movie. IMO he and Edie Falco are far and away the best actors on that show.

Imagine. If they just throw $10,000 a piece on the horse to win it is going to have a serious effect on the win pool.

I'd be much more apt to take Carminooch than Reverberate in here.
