Make no mistake that both of them are basing their schedule on what the other does. It's embarrassing really.

A sport can't survive when its stars duck one another. Imagine if Bird and Magic never met in the playoffs.

The Mir man is comedy, Carothers has some interesting takes, forgot to add Greg Wolf to the taze list, Frank Lyons always sounds hammered and says hilarious things, Mr B is half in the casket. Christina should just look into the camera and say nothing, Michelle Yu is ridiculous, and Nancy Ury is ok, we are FB friends.

I should start a "Who would you taze first" poll on TVG's message board, that could be epic internet stuff

Yes, but these are the Eastern Allstars of Denial ( a defense mechanism in which a person is faced with a fact that is too uncomfortable to accept and rejects it instead, insisting that it is not true despite what may be overwhelming evidence.)

Michelle Yu is only there because someone wants to bang her. That bs where she picks the best looking horse is lobotomy-inducing.

I think Pepe Lepourox is tagging it, but I am not 100% sure

You can't be serious. They are all focking terrible and vomit inducing. Nancy Ury? Oh boy, I need to get my boy some if you're seeing her in dreams, she's gross. Christina is the only one I have any respect for, and that's only because she's a good hostess who lets the races be the focus of the show.

She looked beat and somehow got up to win, just as Personal Ensign willed her way to victory in the BC, these are the moments that you don't forget as a racefan whether you are a fan of West coast racing or east coast racing. I also thought Vic was right on his game today also, magical stuff.
It was her best performance IMO, and I loved it, but to compare it to Personal Ensign is complete folly. Personal Ensign was hopelessly beaten at the 1/8th pole by the KENTUCKY DERBY winner, one of the 10 best fillies of my lifetime, not some barely above average G2 winner with a wacky stride.

That was a smart move putting Zardana in the race to make sure St. Trinians would not cruise to the lead at the 1/4 pole.

You and the Mrs. should come to Colonial on Saturday for the Turf Cup to see how brutal the girl that caps for Colonial is.

Running down a juiced wobbler who had stumbled at the start and made the first move into a collapsing pace is the greatest performance evar, Phil, don't mistake it.

1) Knew his surroundings, knew the horses inside of him were dead and waited to the very last second and tried to get the jump on her, and he did

2) Took her as wide as possible without necessarily hurting his mount

He wasn't 'just' riding for 2nd, he was riding to win, and he could have easily just started shoving at the 1/2 mile pole and blown by those other horses and lost the race by a couple lengths. His ride gave him a real chance to win
