I thought the Albany was athrilling race! Don't you know time only couns when your in prison. The top two finishers have since gone on to bigger and better. Tin Cup winning the Indiana Derby and Thatsrightofficer coming in second in the grade 3 discovery. It's too bad you only care about the top 1% of horse racing Vic, you are missing what makes this game fundamentally great!

That's too bad the Albany handicap was such a downer for you. "time only counts when your in prison." Jockey Pedro Rodriguez gave a masterful ride. Being lone speed it was his job to slow down the pace which he did masterfully. Also it was an exciting photo finish in a race that featured grade III winner Big Truck and Preakness placed Icabad Crane. The fianl time was not that slow actually, although the initial fractions were "pedestrian". The crowd on hand seemed to love the race and the connections were the type of people "Joe the Plumber" could get behind. It's to bad you are only interested in Grade I's. They day you can't get excitted about a low level claimer is the day you should get out of the business because you have lost the essence of the sport.

Love the story about the Anna House benefit. In my dreams I guess. The only thing I can say my guy and I could shine there is the "cowboy" attire. Someone said a couple years ago that Wayne was the only real cowboy in attendance, he once said at the WNFR that he thought he was a cowboy until he met one. Still he looks the part, spent enough time in OK, TX and NM to semi qualify. The rest, well cheers for the effort and at least it's for charity.
