Congrats to Herky! I have wanted to donate to Sighty's cause. I wanted to contribute to the cause but didn't want to use a credit card on that site. If she could PM me I will send a contribution. Thank you for running the contest.

Thanks everyone. Big thanks for the advanced Clydeform tool, that correctly predicted Chromie would grab a quarter and finish off the board.

if you check the bylaws, cheating is allowed.



anywho, tell Clyde that Insecticide has been eradicated.


Soooo glad that Chromie got beat. Let's face it, the horse doesn't care and the owner is showing his true colors and they ain't purple and green, they're yellow


Horse racing is much more enjoyable when you leave the people out of it.

Ned and Hydra have replaced all of the "Bring it Home Chrome" signs at Belmonty Park to GO HOME COBURN.

ClydeForm Belmont Wrap up from The Editor:

I hope all horsey fans are enjoying the night;when it's dark.

By golly, that reminds me of a column I wrote for the New York Toast.

Here it is:



VISCERAL VOMTINGS AVOIDED

by Clyde Collinwood-creator of CLYDEFORM!!


Visceral vomitings may be a redundancy,but it sounds nifty and a bit poetic.Anyhoo----Ticket Wrong didn't do sa hot,thereby laying to waste all the Toasties.Better yet,CaliforniaAluminum failed to do so and that sent psychotic reactions throughout the Chromester Community.

It was a very satisfying Saturday of atonement.One had to visualize Sali hanging some in the stretch and Ticket Wrong was only able to beat mostly locals at the NY tracks.A highly overrated horsey.If you were a subscriber to CLYDEFORM!!.....you had the winner and all the exotics.CLYDEFORM!! even predicted the dead heat for fourth.Some will say,"'HEY!! Your picks were wrong.I saw them!"

Uh,no.

Those public picks are done in code.

Users know this.

It protects them from paying for what everyone else would get for free.They know the code and they know that CLYDEFORM!! is the hottest ticket going.But getting back to the big dance,I think Stevie Coburn should be appointed ambassador to N.Korea.He is so perfectly suited for that position given his having birthed a live cow on the big stage.

Ticket Wrong was a no show and apparently SaliChrome's push button malfunctioned.Perhaps now the Toasties and the Chromesters will commiserate over mookies and hydrated cornflakes.The only two groups in history matching these two's plethora of pernicious predictions were Heaven's Gate and Hugh Beaumont's drinking buddies.

We should all find ourselves in horsey happiness over the immense failure of Toasties and Chromesters.Their bombast and snottings have been slammed back into their little pinch faces and their lives in ruins.They have nothing else to do.I find this a most pleasant thought.Let us not forget the inclusion of those whose only reason for living is to see a triple crown happen.They may be the most irascible party poopers of all time and should consider minor league hockey.

Gosh this is so fun!!

Andy Beyer,48.5 for the first half mile of a 12 paneler is not slow.Stop drinking the BeyerAid.

Now, some maybe can really, really understand the meaning of keepin' it real and given 'em steel.That is how this unparalleled writer sees the result of the 2014 running of the Belmonty Steaks.

Celebrate with me,won't you?

From he who shall not be named...

Greetings from South Water St. and East Summit, where the doomed are never desperate and only the clocks tell the time.

Unfairness not only runs on Belmont's dirt,but on each and every one of our life paths.It's just not fair.God better get a move on and stop the unfairness.
All the same,I would like to type ;this contest really blows.It wasn't fair.I had to go up against too many players.That's not fair.You have SightyPoo slinging rib crackers at every corner and that was a distraction.Then there was BrownSugah mekin' copies and epoxy brownies along with a Chromester (although a mild one) who I felt played nikkidie and the contest owner imploring all to cheat.There were players in and out with the last new shooter being FiveKingsInAStraightPokerGame.I strongly suspect he cheated.Beefherky should have been tossed because anyone afforded CLYDEFORMS!! advanced handicapping tools is at an insurmountable advantage.

Anyone notice the flame out at NoAdvantage by Insecticide(TM)? Somewhat reminiscent of JihadScientist.Of course, SpecialMethamphetamineMan just disappeared which was kind of expected considering his historic "lol@ Chrome not hitting the boards"...."lol@ Tonalist"...".lol@ you all.The other Belmont horses are running for second place". Those were just a few of the suicidal comments made by the environmental hazzard.I had the strong feeling all three of these ThaiGuys were made up of one cross dresser.

So many good things to take from that Belmont.Fairness does pop up now and then....however:We dasn't forget those wonderful amenities made available to the huge throngSaturday.Boy,does the NYRA know how to stiff its patrons,or what? Was noticed by me that many attendees posted how they were not exactly happy campers over the whole mess.There was an expected feeble attempt by Toasties to somehow come up with wild NYRA defenses,but boy did they give up the "ah did not know the gun was loaded" routine, right ricky ticky.



By the by,this constitutes my very last post at NerdyTrail.Mega doo dahs!! to my surrogate,Deborah LunarLady.I think there were times she imagined applying a ligature to my neck....but she knows competent autopsy room physicians can spot that right quick.


I should also thank doo dah!!,LittleRun and Betty Gioia Crocker for also pasting up a post or two for me.

There is no reason for me anymore.(Golly I love talking about me;more!!)I have been darted multiple times at each of the horsey boards.In off board life, unless I give people a mini Heshey bar, no one likes me.I have no zebra-----I have no penguin.I have no reason.

I will now make my final exit....as only I can.I'm in a darkened room where only I can be seen via a soft spotlight.My exit begins as I walk to a door,open it,go through it...and shut it.

The door opens again and I reappear as I discover that door led to an itty bitty closet.I now walk to the other side of the room and find a door that is truly the exit.Open,walk through ....shut.
