I saw it. Only the amazing Victory Gallop stopped him from getting the Stakes Record Time.

Now why is it that Baffert can't get his horses to run in that race, which happens to be in Kentucky? Not the first time. I would be curious, Mr. Jerry "it's Baffert in Kentucky" Brown.

That is, if you're not too busy with the mental giants from Rag-ville.

By the way, it would be nice if you would credit my amazing empirical observations with enabling you to see where to split the variant on Belmont day, even if you're not giving me any prize. And don't forget, I'm the one who said, "it's a split, not a slide, based on the rate of moisture evaporation in the shadows from the grandstand on the shaded part of the track." I said it while I was drinking, so maybe you didn't hear me. Other people heard me and told me to shut up.

But of course, you're not giving me any credit on the horses I told you to buy either. I also tried to call and wake you up for that $60,000 tri that Ragozin recounts in his great book, but Len Friedman climbed a telephone pole outside of your apartment and cut the wires. Not many people know that part of the story.
