Will do. Just got off a conference call with him and Haille Selassie. There's an Algerian-bred we're going to score out on next week.

So, yo turned down the radio offer?

So what we have witnessed is a completed fool kit comes to the board......full of the same old Mortimer Jealousy all doorknobs have .



And he tries to insinuate Steve doesn't think I'm smart or he would invite me on his most excellent program.

Not stopping to challenge his very own noodle for one moment.....not once did he think .."Say---wait a minute. What if Steve DOES invite him? I've never been invited. Wouldn't that make me look stupid?"


But..being a sage base coverer----he goes ahead and asks Steve anyway.







Now do you all understand why I am not allowed in the smart threads?

I should add only a misassembled fool kit would now try to make a big deal out of whether I appear on Steve's show ..or not.



Lamely trying to run away from the I AM STUPID stamp that has been applied to his concave forehead.

No. Explain it to me like I'm a 3 year old.

Revolving doorknobs have nothing on you.




But even they need a shove to look like an imbecile.

Maybe next year. Though, probably not.

I think a tuning fork would only refuse its work order and simply stab you.

Steve...I believe BentMahPud has reinforced your thought on barring me from the smart threads...proving himself a 90%er.


I didn't realize how much of an animal I can be with these nincompoops.

Is a tenth of a second slower really gonna mean the difference between winning and losing three weeks later?? It must be true because all the experts agree...but how is it true??

Personally if I run 2 miles today 2 seconds faster than normal...in 24 hours I will feel exactly the same regardless. How is it so much different than a horse that 3 weeks later, running 9.5 furlongs 0.2 seconds slower makes so much physiological difference??
First of all, we're not talking about 1/10th of a second. One length is about 1/5th of a second. So if a horse wins by 10 lengths instead of 5 lengths, we are talking about a full second. Under one scenario, the horse is all out. Under the other scenario, the horse is not even close to being all out. It makes a huge difference.

By the way, I saw Smarty Jones train between the Preakness and the Belmont and he didn't look like the same horse. In his morning gallops before the Derby and the Preakness, he couldn't have looked any sharper. He had his neck arched and ears pricked and he looked unbelievable. He didn't look the same way after the Preakness. That race knocked him out.

You BOOB!






I have no affinity for Jones...but he didn't exactly get beat by 31 lengths.



Stop trying to predict the outcome of events that have already happened with your clocker like habits and observations.

Steve;



I would love to take you up on you offer....you know...the smart offer only smart posters get and not the TwiceVaporized ones.






The truth is...I'm getting a lot of flak about this from Andy.

I have only been on his show ......briefly---but still....and no other ones.

So he advertises as being the only public handicapper to have a direct funnel to me and that I have appeared on his show, although briefly---but still,and no others.






And so...I feel kind of an allegiance there.

I hope you understand....but to you I must say no.





I do wish you and the Tataglias the best of luck .
