Cap 3 n' Meshugeneh

[SCUDSBROTHER]

With the incredible effort from the one n' only Greater Good yesterday,I have to again say that for p4 betting,the best strategy may be to:

Cap 3 n' Meshugeneh



Which means to handicap 3 races,and expect an uncappable nut to come in for the 4th leg.Don't try to figure it.Can't be figured out.It's a Meshugeneh.

Scuds sometimes you dont have to know whose gonna win but just have an idea of who wont win. You use the others and don't try to figure out which one will(in situations where you dont like the chalk but have no idea of which of the others will win). It works.

I would have to take all,or all minus the favorite ,to get Greater Good.I remember looking at him in his last race,and saying that he just really has become a turd.Then yesterday's performance.Either he is
Meshugeneh,or they finally pulled the string when everybody's head is turned.It is remarkable how they bring in horses when they are off people's radars.

S.U.,

Encourage and love the use of Yiddish on the Trail, so here's a syntax tip..

SomeTHING 'crazy', like the race in question, is "Meshugah" (adj).. (as in 'inscrutable').. "Vay is mer.. a more meshugah group of horses I've never seen"

SomeONE crazy, like Orca, is a "Meshuganah" (n).. An individual can also be 'described' as "Meshugah" (adj) in the third person.. "Oy.. that Mike.. meshugah like you've never seen".. versus "Saul.. I'm telling you right now, never in your life have you seen such a meshuganah"

For emphasis, it always fun to hybrid Yiddish-English as in terming a situation "Meshugah-Nuts"

So what is Greater Good?

One crazy Son B?

I admit that I've been a "schmageghee" (sp) for quite a while.

Ha! Been called that a few times, too! Here's a pretty good Yiddish/English online dictionary:

http://www.yiddishdictionaryonline.com/

The entries for meshuganah, etc:
crazy meshuge meh∙shoo'∙geh / meh∙shig'∙eh (adj.) - משוגע
drive (someone) crazy meshuge makhn . (v.) משוגע געמאַכט משוגע מאַכן
crazy meshugedik meh∙shoo'∙geh·dik / meh∙shi'∙geh·dik (adj.) - משוגעדיק
madmen, insane people meshugoim . (m.) - משוגעים
insane asylum meshugoim-azil . (m.) ן- משוגעים־אַזיל
straightjacket meshugoim-hemdl . (n.) עך- משוגעים־העמדל
madman, crazy person, lunatic meshugener meh∙shoog'∙en∙er / meh∙shig'∙en∙er (m.) - משוגעןער
craziness, madness meshugas meh∙shoo∙gaas' / meh∙shi∙gaas' (n.) ן- משוגעת

And shmegege:

idler, dawdler; bufoon, idiot, fool shmegege shmeh∙geh'∙geh (m.) ס- שמעגעגע
zz shimen . (.) - שמעון
fool; inept person, nincompoop shmendrik shmen'∙drik (m.) - שמענדריק

Doesn't quite capture "shmegege".
