I'd consider it an honor, the thing is the couple times I got in trouble over it were on races I either didn't win or broke even upon.

By all appearances King of Happiness was poised for a nice effort. His race is the key for determining what occurred in the Atto. Well, his race and the Canadian Bell.

I don't think Leroids figure is negative. Neither did I believe Bellamy's was a negative five. I think Bellamy ran approximately a negative 1 that day.
I'm gonna get in trouble if I belabor Ghostzapper again, but he was no better than Saint Liam at 9 marks and that Lone Star B.C. was as much an optical illusion as Bellamy's Wood and Leroids Atto.

Don't get me wrong. Its not gonna be a Class A bet, but depending upon the field I'm gonna take my shot at him. He owes me. I'll check what Class says on the race though, hes shied away from the Atto and Penn Derby on class and turned out he was correct. I wish I'd listend to him on the Penn Derby...lol
