I didn't see it but wow, good for him.

His connections seem like they really love their guy.

The only horse in the country worthy of bridge jumping IMO. When he breaks well its lights out. Even when he hasnt broke well, he makes an unbelievable move at about 250 yds.

Dave, it's not to late to seek help. Bridge jumping is bad (especially in 400 yard races)! Try to be strong my friend.

I fell asleep trying to stay up and watch it. Guess there is no such thing as a sure thing in this sport.

The question is, what happens when racetracks have nightmares???? Do they dream of smelly cigars, horseshit and such??? Do they dream one day they may have polytrack covering them?????

Good question.



The nightmarish side comes in the form of mind pictures showing an innocent racetrack being slowly turned up from the horizontal....tipped toward the vertical.As this happens....the little dirt particles start streaming into the hole the track leaves as it is tilted to the vertical.

By the time the track reaches a vertical inclination,all the dirt is where the track was.Now the erect track ( take no metaphor from that one) becomes-----nothing. The dirt is all back in the hole the track left.


The clinical interpretation is that the track has no meaning in life.

Has no value.

It cannot venture out because if it tries to, it only leaves itself and it becomes nothing;unable to function in a real world.



Excellent question...really was.

Once the track leaves this existence, would it pierce the fabric of space and disappear into a black hole perhaps, to be lost forever....literally or just figuratively?????? We'll never know..............I'll take the 5 in the 6th Los
Al.
