I'm Having a VERY Good Day

We'll see.
Since I've been counseled against using foul language in posts, I'll suspend further comment on the unfolding Fitzgerald travesty. (save for this UGH aside: in his announcement, the prosecutor employed the dreadfully overused "At the end of the day..." Does anyone know how or why that phrasal tic came en vogue? Listen for it-get back to me.)

Belmont Racetrack and New York are very proud to host the 2005 Breeders' Cup. 8 races, 8 champions-the Super Bowl for Thoroughbreds. Should be a great crowd and some amazing races.

For entertainment purposes only, my humble not-very-educated picks:

Juvenile Fillies- 1.Adieu 2.Folklore Longshot: Along the Sea
Juveniles- 1. Henny Hughes 2. First Samurai LS: Leo
Fillies and Mares Turf- 1.Film Maker 2. Wonder Again (even) Long(er) Shot:Karen's Caper
Sprint- 1.Lost in the Fog
Mile- 1. Leroidesanimaux 2. Artie Schiller LS: Limehouse
Distaff- 1. Ashado 2. Sweet Symphony LS: Yolanda B Too
Turf- 1. Shakespeare 2. Better Talk Now LS: Ace
Classic- 1. Flower Alley 2. Saint Liam LS: Perfect Drift

Letting it ride...
