 Ok, so SRF leadership hates me, and I’m stuck with another 2yo race, just to make me look stupid… all of that is false except for the last part, I can’t pick 2yo races to save my life… so, since I’m taking Aug away from SRF because, well, to tell you the truth, I’ve had about enough of this… ok, back to our regularly scheduled programming… my wife, Ali, just walked in and I told HER to pick the winners… let’s make this like RL racing.  Here is her analysis… “well, we all know Mb wins everything, so I like Inviting to win”.  “Why did he sell Flipping??”… so, I had to explain the auctions to her, but “well, I still like him.. why is he in dead-heats all the time?”… so, I had to explain that, trying to bleep out the 4-letter words, and what-not… “I like the name Bettlejuice, and Burner Phone“… so, there you have it – play the 12 / 8 / 11-3 tri, and I’m guessing you will make money… she takes all of mine!  She did most of the commentary below… so, don’t yell at me, or threaten to cave my head in.

Here’s The Field –

Well, he won his only race so you can’t say anything bad about him.  I’m not sure why the gelded him, that just seems mean.  Wait til he runs bad before you do that. 

He won his only race, but why are there so many dead-heats.  That doesn’t seem like RL racing to me.  Even Gallop Race didn’t have dead-heads like this.

He won his first race and was close in both of those stakes tries.  I love his name and I would be him if I were at the track.  I like him a lot. 

Seems like all of these won their first race.  That was a muddy track so he should be good today.  I like the way his runs, but don’t care for his name so I’ll look at some others. 

He just missed in his first race then won at SA so he’s made some good money.  I like how he runs late but traffic isn’t good in this game, is it?  I like him, but his late run makes me nervous. 

Wow, they do all win their first race, why do people complain that first time starters can’t win?  I think he’s going to be a very good horse and I think I’m making a mistake not putting him in my picks. 

He’s had two dead heats in three races.  This is ridiculous.  He’s another that will probably do very well, but he runs late and that traffic thing bothers me.  But I think you have to give him a big chance… he’s a nice horse. 

I really like him… I’m not sure why Mb let that one go, since he wins so many races… but I guess you can’t keep them all.  Two dead-heats from two races?  Really?  Ok, this is silly. 

He ran well in both races getting a win in his second start.  That was by a nose so he seems to have some heart and I like that.  He’s another that I will probably regret not using on my picks. 

Ok, the best named horse in the whole game!!  Love it!!  Both races were really good and he ran off late in that win in Philly.  I see why picking these races is tough… I really like him. 

Another with a great name and he ran will in both starts… definitely on my ticket.  I love going to CD and WO, and I know those are really nice tracks, so he has to be on my ticket. 

Mb rules, I know that.. and he wins all of these stakes races so he’s my pick.  Two wins from two starts, like I said, he wins everything and this is just another one of his great horses.  Why do they put the good horses in the far outside posts?
