Prado
If I took Prado over JRV in the Road to the Roses contest - I would be the only person in the national overall contest to have 200 or more points scored and have a decent overall lead.
What basically killed me was Check It Twice. At the time of the contest, I thought he would be the key to me winning the whole thing. I took him, I took Pletcher, and I took his jockey Johhny V. over Prado and Desermeaux solely because he had the mount on the horse I thought had a great shot to be the eventual leading point scorer in the contest at the time. The very next day it was announced that Check It Twice had a problem...he's been off the trail since. Pretty tough break - not just because I lost a horse right off the bat, but because it put me on the wrong jock just like that. Had it started a day or two later - not only would I probably have taken Prado - but it was very likely that I might have used either Tale of Ekati or Momba in place of Check It Twice. ToE was the horse I bet in the Juvenile last year - and while I didn't like Monba...he was going to be the post time favorite in a Gr 1 two weeks hence. It seemed like EVERYONE had Monba besides me. It seems like a miracle that I'm in 27th place nationally when my whole plan for winning it all centered around Check It Twice.

I'm going to invite you over to my grandparents place - and myself and five other friends of mine (if I even have that many anymore) are going to beat the piss out of you and post it on YouTube and KyRim's myspace...
And all that while Emily and Sighty-poo stand outside as lookouts - knocking on the door from time to time to warn us to keep the noise down.

If I had JRV and Prado I think I'd still be in the national lead as well. More importantly, are you doing anything this weekend? ... If not, you're welcome to attend the Hossy Beat-Down bash at my grandparents place. Bring chips and salsa if you can.

Bent Mah Pud and Pee Garden rushing and flocking to maps of the greater Erie area.
DrugS, fine work on Stevie's show. Can't wait for Morty's segment when Thistleydowns starts.

I only have one grandparent left - and he lives in an apartment overlooking the lake - we just might have to open up the sliding door thingy and toss you in afterwards.

Hey DrugS....I think the difference between you and me in the RTTR, points-wise was Monba vs. Cowboy Cal. I had Monba in my original 10, so he really redeemed himself Saturday!
I am 23rd overall now, but Gomez has been killing us both. Now the challenge is picking the right 5 for the Derby.

I know. The first three are easy - it's the other two that are tricky.
