The Prosecutor doesn't have much of a case in my opinion. His opening statement was to say Spector forced the woman to put the gun in her mouth and he pulled the trigger. Obviously she must have been mouth shot. Who puts a gun in their mouth when asked? No one......Folks put a gun in their mouth that want to commit suicide. Spector will walk so I'm out of a lyrics gig even if I'm not bad at it.

Yeah, where is the Green Monkey? All the highest priced horses were busts. You need a little more than expensive horses to pick a horse. Baffert has a 17K and a 70K Derby winner. Pletcher has a little more too. Its called, "Stop or my mom will shoot you up"

Thank You, but I upped the odds on Dominican to 150-1.
Speaking of the Bluegrass, its strains credibility that folks are still insisting the pace was throttled to a 1.16.3 at 6 poles. A 1.13.4 maybe. A 1.14.4 possibly, but there is NO way in racing to throttle back to 1.16.3 on a fast track with that quality of animal. Its just not possible and apparently, I am the only one that understands this. Is that narcissistic?
The horses ran hard, but any number is suspect. The rail was treachery. The backside a quagmire. It was a conditioning race. End of Story.
