Default Booking Bets

Does anyone here - or anyone's girlfriend for that matter - want track odds plus a ten percent rebate on Mine That Bird in the Preakness?

I'd have gladly taken his action at 500/1 ... and maybe 500/1 on that horse who ran 2nd in the Humana Distaff as well ...

Even though I felt the field consisted of 19 absolute suspects .. I would have placed the probability of a Mine That Bird win on par with the probability of 15 riders falling off at the gate ... and a 'Street Sense' like daring rail skimming ride by Calvin Borel to beat the remaining non riderless trio of Join in the Dance, Advice, and Atomic Rain in a four way win photo

Honestly, when it happened, I felt sure the world was about to end.

I was watching Papa Clem tip out and looking fairly menacing just outside the quarter pole when I spotted a horse inside moving like a rocket - and I could tell it was Borel making the move because he's easy to pick up .. I just assumed there was a late rider switch or two I didn't bother to hear about.

too much Woodford Reserve can probably make you wish the world would end.

I asked Maker last fall why Ken ramsey was running a filly by Street Cry out of a Pulpit mare for 15k. Knowing that out of the 200 broodmares that KR owns most are not so commercially bred.

I suppose Accredit eased some of the Temple Street and General Quarters bitterness.

Accredit was a hell of a claim. When he was dropped in for a tag I remember thinking I wish I had $75k, I'd snap that one up.

I felt the same way about Charismatic....only I was smart enough not to make such a preposterous redboard here.

What, saying stakes winners they try to sneak by for a tag on the inner is a redboard? I had no idea. He won him in a shake as far as I know so I don't think my opinion was exactly original.

I called and told him he had to snatch that one.. HE said he was already begging KR to drop. It was a no brainer claim.
Accredit was sold from Darley to new owners then they dropped him in for 75k.

How is recalling a conversation you had with someone redboarding?

Trust me after this weekend I have nothing to Redboard. In the Humana (9horse field) today I used 5 horses in some manner thru either a tri or a p4. None of the 5 hit the Super!
