WannaBe: This one is from Henry Cho: "I'm changing the caller ID of my wife's phone number to Potential Spam" If you have not seen or heard of Henry, he is worth some of your time on YouTube.

WannaBe: So, again, the worker expressed and exercised the 1st amendment right(s), whether suspension is warrented or not is up to company/union policy. Not the administration, because this will be 0-9 in the Supreme Court. Another individual (who happens to be the president) also exercised ...

WannaBe: So, the Tata Steel blitz were held in India, and players have 6 days to fly to NED for the next (or 2026 first) major event... What is the flight path? Here are some ideas: https://www.flightroutes.com/CCU-AMS

WannaBe: <OCF> Not to mention when TV stations switch red (dem) and blue (rep) to what we know today... On a similar note, in Asia, if the stock shows red, it mean up, green, means down. Go fig.

  WannaBe: Alright, 7:47 at Jockey Club, $2 across on horsie 6, race 2 of Churchill Downs. That Makes Sense.

  Penguincw: Ah, I see the Kentucky Derby is today. Considering the ChessBookie leg just started 2 days ago, imagine if <Switch> did a preseason, and have a bet on who would win the Kentucky Derby. That's true betting right there.

  WannaBe: First discard tix, for race 3, going $2 across on horsie 8. Another long shot, Dionysus.
May-07-16
Premium Chessgames Member
  WannaBe: Second discard tix, for race 4, going with horsie 7, $2 across. No Interest.

  WannaBe: In race 5, horse in gate 3, Allied Air Raid! Gotta take that one in the next race.

  Penguincw: Did you see this video?

Imagine if that actually happens.

  WannaBe: Hey, they had an octopuss pickin' World Cup winners, why not puppies?!

Another discard tix, race 5, Allied Air Raid is currently the betting fav, $2 across. (I usually do not bet on fav.)

Boy, I'm gonna be one tired wabbit by afternoon... May not even last until halftime of the GS game tonight.

Premium Chessgames Member
  WannaBe: Figures, Allied Air Raid led for 3/4 of the race, broke out and led for two turns...

I may collect $2.20 if that third place result holds...

May-07-16
Premium Chessgames Member
  WannaBe: Wow, whoopie!! Got $3.60 back on my $6 investment, just like real Wall Street.

Premium Chessgames Member
  WannaBe: Race 6, we're halfway there to the big one, (race 12). Going with horsie 7, $2 across She's Not There.

If you're old enough, you'll know/remember the song. =))

  WannaBe: Annnnd she's not there, not even close...

  WannaBe: Race 7, going with horsie 4, Barbados, currently 14-1. But have good career record, think I saw the horse a few years ago at Breeders' Cup. 15 wins, 2 seconds, 3 thirds and 1 fourth place finishes.

Not sure on the total number of career races entered...

May-07-16

  WannaBe: Barbados came in dead last. I sure do know how to pick 'em.

Race 8, going with Kathballu, with Lee Marvin as jockey, gate 7, $2 across.

May-07-16
Premium Chessgames Member
  WannaBe: Another dead last finish!!!

For race 9, I'm going long shot, horse 2, Cutacorner, $2 across.

May-07-16
Premium Chessgames Member
  WannaBe: Added horse 10, American Patriot in race 9, $2 across, too. Doubling up on my losses. =))

Premium Chessgames Member
  WannaBe: Another loooooser, for race 10, going $2 across on horsie 10.
May-07-16
Premium Chessgames Member
  WannaBe: Loseville!! Man these times between the races are getting longer and longer, it was about 35 minutes with the earlier races, it's now 50 minutes.

Going to do $2 across on horsies 10 & 11 for race number 11.

  Penguincw: I <would> do the same, except I'd do it for #10 Whitmore (30:1) and #17 Mor Spirit (12:1). Whitmore's jockey will be Victor Espinoza, who is looking to win his 3rd Kentucky Derby. He won the triple crown last year, and <almost> in 2014. Mor Spirit, well, it won Fallon's "Kenpuppy" Derby.

I'd put money on Nyquist, but 2:1 is kinda pathetic to me. Maybe betting on him to finish top 3, sure.
