No problem. I'm glad you could help.

Check your PM's though.

Best thread we've had in a long time!

Thursday at Saratoga VS Kenucky Derby undercard.

Sassy Image pays $34.20 to win. A 5-to-1 shot wins the next race and the double pays $474.60 (the parlay is $191)

Aikenite wins the next and pays $28.60. The double with the same 5/1 winner to him pays $164.80 (the parlay is $160)

Pick 4:

$5.40 favorite
$22.60
$8.80
$34.20 (Sassy Image)

That pays $14,416.00

Sassy Image was hammered in the WPS pool in relation to gimmicks. Considering the WPS pool was over $2 million someone bet her.

I can't believe you didn't reimburse the microphone money, considering you're swimming in C-Notes a la Warran T.

I lay them out on my bed and give them war speeches sometimes.

That's how true Megalomaniac's roll.

I like to lay out $2 bills I have been collecting over the years and swim in them like Scrooge McDuck.

Sweet!

My Meglomaniacness started at birth. I was an authority of all things looooong before I posted my way to Meglomaniac greatness.


I wasn't "delivered" in a traditional manner at birth -- rather, I JUMPED out of the womb, on my way to doing a motherfucl<ing 360 rim-wrecker up in the doctor's fucl<ing face, and in doing so, impressing the nurse* to no end with my mad game, making it a simple matter to get those panties off, and drop the hammer with my erect-since-birth instrument of female-bliss.

From that moment on, I knew I was destined for internet greatness.


* - OK...so she was a little chunky. I was young, cut me some fucl<ing slack

Did you really have them pay you cash for the BC Pick 4 score?

I guess a pic of a check would have been a lot less cool.
Make it rain Dougie..

Agreed. Other than the pic of sweet little Jewel.

You would have had to have faith to bet her, but you certainly didn't need divine intervention.

And she does well first off a layoff. The Humana fit that.

[cmorioles]

Longshots are always overbet on big days...Derby, BC...I guess that covers all the big days. Wasn't she the longest shot in the field?

[Calzone Lord]

By post time she was.

Tidal Pool was the second longest horse in the race at 13/1 for the always overbet combo (in flat wagers) of Calvin Borel and DWL.






Sassy Image certainly proved herself easily the best female dirt sprinter alive on this day ... after entering off of a layoff, not having won a race at any level in a year and a half, and never having run a Beyer higher than 89.

I don't think any female sprinter from the last few years had a chance with her on that day. I know multiple people have told me Romans bet her -- but that's not the point and I don't really care if he did. She took insider money that day, that much is obvious. She wasn't being bet on the strength of her recent form. She wasn't bet in most gimmicks in relation to how she was flat.

If you could somehow work Randy Moss or a TVG contest into this thread it might be the best thread ever.

[Calzone Lord]

If Randy Moss had a surgery -- the press who covers the NFL would report about it...because they have a habit of doing their job.

TVG contests don't exist anymore.

I realized she was slow (everyone else in the fields last race was open lengths faster than her career top) and I realized she hadn't won a race in a year and a half...and I love horses who enter Grade 1's off of layoffs.

Didn't bother me at all... because I read between the lines.

This is a picture of the money I made from betting Sassy Image...I needed to carry it back in bags.



I laid some of it out on my bed...




Tiger Woods fist pump!




I threw a party that night where I invited no one but my laptops and it got out of hand.




Sassy Image!, baby!

Again. She sucked until her throat surgery...there was no published reports of her throat surgery...she was bet... and she did make a gigantic form reversal. Those are all facts. All that race did was sink me in multi-win bets where I singled the 2nd place. I can't say I'm not bitter about it ... but it is what it is.

lol

Not bad, not bad at all.

You know I'm just busting balls and I wholeheartedly agree about the horse racing media in general. Not all, but most are piss poor to be nice. Things like these surgeries should absolutely be reported on.

But, I think you're exaggerating a bit on some things here. Sassy's Image wasn't easy to have, but she also wasn't as impossible as you are making her seem. I didn't bet her, but if you were taking a shot Hilda's Passion would not replicate her Gulfstream races, she was a viable candidate.

[Calzone Lord]

Every article that was written about the Humana Distaff -- including DRF and Bloodhorse didn't mention a single word about her.

DRF did a 7-minute handicapping video on the Humana Distaff... and the two handicappers went over every other horse in the race except her. They even spent over a minute talking about the Sunland Park invader. Not one word about Sassy Image in the 7-minute video ... and no knock on them .. because there was nothing to say other than "why is she entered here?" It was a rare Grade 1 for female sprinters ... and she didn't have a top four finish in a stakes race anywhere in a year and a half.

I agree on this 1. Vs that company, with her form and the layoff she had no right winning that race. I dont think your going over the top at all. The 89 top beyer says it all, dont we all love beyers around here?

She missed a year. You keep ignoring it, but it's important.

Again, not easy to have, but I don't think she was impossible.

When I think of putover, I think of Pretty Boy Freud on the Travers undercard. Who ironically also had an unreported surgery prior to the race.

Putover, to me, is any horse who wins while obviously backed with insider money or for reasons not visable in anyway on paper.
