CTC-- any post of yours containing the words I, me, my, etc., or concerning yourself in any way, will be deleted from now on. Nobody cares, and that's being charitable. Write about the game and it will stay up.

Miff-- As far as I can tell from the posts of Friedman and others, Bernardini looked the same on both sets of sheets. Len gets credit for the pick, though in my defense I have to write the seminar in time to have it up Wednesday night, and at that time I (and probably Michael D.) were still under the imression Bernardini would be only 6 or 7 to 1. According to Len's post, he wouldn't have played the horse at under 10-1 either. And he doesn't give out anything cold, ever-- he made a list, and said all but 3 horses should be used in exotics. I'm sure he had the exacta, and I'm sure a lot of those that read his post did too-- but not cold.

I ended up having a good day (mostly because of the Gallorette), but I feel like I left a lot of money on the table. I actually took a little of the winner when I found out you could get 15-1 on Thursday (and as it turned out you could have found higher later if you looked hard). But I didn't especially think he was going to run well-- it was a hedge. My only real position on the race was that Barbaro was a massive bet-against, and I cashed every prop I bet (BD vs. him getting 2-1, SNS getting 3-1, laying 17-10 against a TC). That and the saver win bet enabled me to get even money despite losing every single bet I made into the pools, and I made a bunch-- Zito's horse getting third killed me.

Boy, when I said Nader was drowning his sorrows, it didn't even occur to me Bernardini might pass the Belmont. Poor NYRA.
