G.T.H. (I'll let you figure that one out.) You're such a dog. And you drink Tennessee whiskey to boot.

Woof Woof. I prefer Tanquerey, but Whiskey from the Southern girl just seems to make sense.

[randallscott35]

What a freaking blood bath for you today Grits.

[Payson Dave]

I was gonna comment earlier that the place wagers were doing pretty good today....but I've learned somewheres along the way to not start counting the money til after the last hand has been played...

Good, because I'll not get that close to another bottle of gin. I don't care what names' on the label.

I'll tell you a liquor story from Kentucky, where they're known for their fine bourbons. And you could say it's about free enterprise, as well.

Every year, Keeneland runs the Maker's Mark Mile. It's huge doings, to all those folks around Lexington. In conjunction with the race, Keeneland has "signings" for Maker's Mark Gold Commemorative Edition numbered bottles.

Around 3 or 4 years ago, the Seattle Slew signing was scheduled with Karen and Mickey Taylor, and Jean Cruget beginning at a tick after daylight in the a.m. Well, folks lined up on the apron well before sunrise, lunatics that they are, and WAITED in the cold, in the dark. (I don't do that for anybody, much less the Taylor's.)

Because this was SLEW, you couldn't find a bottle of Maker's Mark within 50 miles of Lexington. Days before the signing, everyone was sold out. I drove to the country, straight up Paris Pike, couldn't find so much as one bottle and I had told someone I'd get them one.

I kept driving and finally stopped, one store owner told me, "damn, I wish I had some more, I could sell every single bottle I could get my hands on."

My wheels started turning and I got to thinking, I'm gonna help this man out. There's no racing today, Keeneland's dark. Hell, I don't have anything else going on, and its a gorgeous day.

So, I got in my car, and drove an hour west. Those folks living in Louisville, they could care less about anything going on in Lexington. They think they're much more Metropolitan than old blueblood Lexington. (And they are.)

Anyway, I motor on west, take the exit off the freeway and walk into one of Louisville's biggest liquor stores and, WHAT to my surprise!!!

Lord have mercy, I counted 52 of those Maker's Mark Gold bottles sittin' right there on and end counter, waitin' for Karen and Mickey Taylor. I opened my cellphone, called my new friend--the one that'd told me an hour earlier how bad he needed more of that whiskey--we struck a deal.

I bought every single bottle they had. They even loaded it in the trunk of my vehicle. Nice people too.

My friend, riding along with me for this short trip, she and I laughed ourselves senseless. The turn-around wasn't Derby time, 2:04 flat, or anything like that. It was more like 3 hours; still, it was one helluva trifecta that made a dark day a blast, and a three week vacation FREE. I made a killing. Can you imagine intelligent folks paying $50 for a bottle of booze? I know . . . I have too, but when you have so many and somebody needs 'em. Its a hoot.

Two southern women, together, when enterprising and helping others, can have more fun than drunk sailors on leave. LOLOLOL

I have no idea what that message was about. Are you high?

Isn't that the truth.

HOUSTON, WE HAVE A PROBLEM!!!


I've seen the totals, and it's a real bad. Couldn't get much worse with 1 horse paying $50 and another paying $36. That's just two, Houston.

That's crass. I don't do crass, but on rare occasion.

I honestly didn't mean it to be...that's the funny thing.

[Grits]

Anyone every heard the standard, "Cry Me A River"? It's a beautiful song and tonight, it's either that or the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem.

The two huge ones are exceedingly rare gifts. Dig deep chasing more like those and see how long you stay afloat. Folks do it daily.

I hold a strong belief, and I have been chastised for doing so, repeatedly. I'll not change my mind on this still. --If one is interested in chasing longshots, the day to go after them is on Sunday. I'm a fervent believer in this.

I'm glad your shots ran well today Randall. I'll just lie here in wait.

Rest well.

I used to sing it every time I performed...a classic.

[Grits]

Pais, you could accommodate me right now.

I love the Classics, so many of them. Speaking of which, I can't believe no one has figured my song lyrics in name that tune, though this doesn't go quite that far back, its probably been covered as much as any song ever.

The Empire Continues to Strike Back

[Grits]

Now, you have to know there ain't a snowball's chance in hell that you would've picked a longshot to win anything remotely close to those odds and paying $310. And in all liklihood, if you've been 'capping as long as you say you have, you wouldn't have had either one of those high price place prices of yesterday either. I've never seen happen--what happened at GP today, which means, it don't come around to often, sweetheart.

INSTANCES, son INSTANCES as you call them.

Now, if you wanna talk to me about the Javier Negrete horse in the 2nd race that went off at 133/1, we'll chat. (The very trainer that I spoke of last night in another thread, the one I've been watching.) His horse ran third paying $37.80 for the show, after leading all the way to the top of the stretch, where he gave way and crossed the wire 4 lengths back to the 1st and 2nd horse.

And by the way that shot only got that chalk by a jump.

Maybe Andy had a tri with All/10/All or All/10/8 I sure hope so, after all the crap he caught in the last 24 hours. Man, no one needs such stuff.

If we have another day on Wednesday like the last couple, I'll cut both wrists, lay down and bleed out. And please . . . see that I'm buried in the Bahamas, next plot over from Anna Nicole. I'll welcome the overflow, maybe a few flowers'll blow my way.

HERE LIES GRITS.

[Payson Dave]

What is the latest tally with these two strategies...???
