It will happen many more times in your life...even if you swear off that stuff you eat now and live off of fried food and beer.

Last year, I'll Have Another was an odds-on favorite on the morning line in the Belmont Stakes, he was beating Spectacular Bid, Sunday Silence, Silver Charm, and even the indomitable Smarty Jones on video games ...

And all of a sudden, he's scratched, retired, on his way to Japan because his pedigree isn't much, and now he's in a desperate photo with Sea Hero for 18th place in a video game running of the last 20 Derby winners.

Big Brown only needed to show up to beat D' Tara. He just didn't show up, not sure if it was the unhinged shoe or whatever that caused his physical issue. Spectacular Bid's Belmont was a case of Murphey's Law.

Every year there will be a Derby winner. All that's asked is for them to repeat in two fresh races against very similar competition.

I was actually joking, but I did stop thinking the Triple Crown was the most important thing that could ever happen to racing after Smarty Jones.

Such a weird moment; being in the crowd and hearing everyone get so utterly quiet when Birdstone passed him. It wasn't that quiet earlier in the day when they asked for a moment of silence after announcing Reagan's death.

What a crowd. My husband swore he would never ever attend Belmont in a Triple Crown year after that day.

There are 3 days that I am grateful for not being at the track that day: Smarty's Belmont; Barbaro's breakdown in the Preakness (the only TC race I skipped that year, thankfully) and Eight Belle's breakdown in the Derby. (Not that every breakdown isn't heart wrenching, but those two had so much intensity with the crowds.)

My biggest regret for not being there was Rachel's win in the Woodward. I was there for Rags to Rich's Belmont and I'm positive that Rachel's Woodward had to be more electric.

I was in a play during Barbaro's TC races, and I remember I got to the theater early and dragged their old TV into the dressing room to watch the race. Several of the actors and the playwright showed up to watch, too, because I had gotten them interested in it. And then poor Barbaro broke down. I think they were ALL turned off racing that day. Awful. :(

Hopefully Shug reads the board and thinks twice about the Manhattan after the giant mush you put on him

Rachel's win in the Woodward had the most electric feel in the air that I can ever remember...I'm telling you...ya could feel it in the air

We/they, whoever made that horse 5-2 in the Dixie. Come on. I bet the 9, he sucked 2.
Everyone loved ORB. Not just me. Good call on Code West broski. Im happy for you. BTW.... No redboard, because I wont say how much I won..... But remember who loved Oxbow in the Derby. I was TOTALLY OFF HIM. Until Dougs thread. My hits were mostly backups, but still pretty large.

That was quick!
Did I not tout Oxbow all over before the Derby? I only cought 50 cents worth of 10-12 and 11-13 pick 3's. Nothing big. It was only like 8 and change. Like its so hard to believe. Lukas is my guy.

Whenever he gets called out for another spectacular mush for the ages, he always responds with a story of how he had a great triumph that day.

Yep, you did. Which is why he was off the board.

Then you said Orb was going to win the triple crown (off the board after your proclamation) and Imagining who you said would win the Dixie was also off the board. You also didn't like Code West at all.

Yet somehow you cought (nice spelling) pick 3's in those races? I believe you. You've certainly shown throughout the years you are a man of your word. You never lie and never make stuff up. Ever.

8 and change.....I can't stop laughing. Almost as funny as you pretending to be a basketball player and quoting your made up averages from 7th grade.

What a clown.

Thanks Casp -- yea, it's a favorite of mine too. One of those photos that once you see it, you just feel it in your gut that it'll be timeless. The Man sure was a runner!

At least you got my point and didn't bother to fight it.


I have an earache and possible strep throat after running an open house yesterday, so I took the day off. So, no, nothing better to do. But it's good to see you take your BS to the 'grand scale'. Dahoss would be proud of ya!

Its sad what you have turned into. I used to respect you're opinions. Now you are basically a smarter, possibly a tad more clever Alabama. Sad.

As dahoss loved to say....that's "your" not you're .


Now all we need is for The Spyder to get the Saratoga contest going this year. Would be a good battle......








For second money among the rest of you, as I would skate to my third win.

Well, you certainly have the mythical wagers down PAT!

Show me the betting transcripts of your past wagers and I'm your huckleberry ( at whatever price you're comfortable with ) ! Thought I told you to shut ENTIRELY the phuck up until then??


Do Not Pass Go! Do Not Collect Your Mythical Daily Doubles!


Your Monopoly Money wagers are almost as funny as your basketball stats. Almost, Jaguar Paw!

Yup. 1-9 seems right. I mean do you even bet or discuss horses? All I see from you is trolling. Like i said.... Its sad

Sad is your constant deflection from being caught on your fugaze bets!

Go make another 3k+ "score" and have not one person believe you enough to congratulate ya! That must REALLY be grinding your gears!

People are starting to doubt if LoneStar even existed and you were behind that whole thing! When that even becomes a POSSIBILITY, you have to begin to wonder about yourself.

But, by all means, make another "it's sad" post to deflect from you being a fraud.

declansharbor 07-17-2017 04:15 PM

FFS dude I've had multiple people DM'ng me & texting me THANKING ME for calling you out on your BS bets because they've had it up to their ears with you! Ya got people actually betting their hard earned money and here you come trying to "one up" everyone and add a zero to the increment of a bet that you're not even making! Talk about a slap to the face!

It's SAD, really!

declansharbor 07-17-2017 04:21 PM

SAD is how you had to make multiple handles on this site.

SAD is that I was starting to warm up to you and your good opinions.

SAD is how you've completely went off the rails again after somewhat "righting the ship" after your 9 for 9 declaration and backyard OTB bull$hit.

SAD is that "records show" you had a year in basketball that only 2017 Russel Westbrook could rival!


Need I go on?!?

I mean, FFS bro, you said a month or two ago that you hit for a large sum of money on a losing wager. There's been way too many other discrepancies as well. I'm sure others could point them out to us all, but probably won't. That's fine. But when you're beginning to drive away people who used to post in the selections threads bc they're tired of seeing your mythical wagers, something has to give!

Alabama Stakes 07-17-2017 04:33 PM

Thunderstorms warning for Saratoga and Albany counties. Though rockhead doesn't know enough to come in out of the rain. If you don't come out of the rain you could catch the pneumonia, strep throat or worse.

You probably would be favored, fictional bets (where you don't have to put money up) are your forte. The WPS bet when there was no show pool was my favorite.
