Contrary to popular belief those posts where not made in a drunken fog. If I'm not mistaken I was goading your friend Alydar who was always an easy mark.

Jerry, I think you missed your calling. You're pretty darn good at Figure Making, I saw your concern cited at Three Chimney's in regard to Smarty Jones speed figures, but I think where your heart lays is psychology. You coulda been a shrink and thats reputable work.

Why is that?
Well, what do you think of the following. If you had Victor Espinoza lined up to work Super Frolic before the this years Breeders Cup Classic and flew him in a week before his only work on the track for that race and he missed that work, would you retain him for the race knowing his excuse was he "overslept"? If this bothers some folks here I can't help it.
I know thats a hypothetical question and theres many variables to consider, the least of which not being the availbility of a suitable replacement, but assuming its your call, what would you do?
To me it makes all the difference in the world.
