1:49 score last night...I do not think we know what kind of horse and what his ceiling is. Now winner of 8 of 9 since coming to the US with his only loss a nose decision to Red Right Hand just missing storming home in driving rainstorm back in March.

Following in the tradition of horses coming out of nowhere at the Big M, there already is one this year in Maximus Miki. Should be some great racing this summer.

A little story Phil Langley told at a banquet 20 or so years ago about his first job interview at Sportsmans Park.
I can't remember who Phil said was the boss then so I will just use The Big Boss.(Maybe Stormy Bidwell).

"I am fresh out of college and go in for an interview with The Big Boss. I tell him I will take any job. He says sorry kid we are full up. But I will do anything. Sorry kid.
As I turn to walk out I mumble WELL I WILL BE A S.O.B.
The Big Boss says wait kid. Why didn't you tell me you wanted to be the RACE SEC? "

I doubt if it happened that why, but it did get a lot of laughs.

Todd reminds me of John Campbell 30 years ago. Always in the right spot if they fire he wins

I like Todd as a driver, but I just don't like what I see. All those grand circuit drivers are friends, so they all take turns and everyone makes money. I think there is a 3rd McCarthy on his way here soon as well. Maybe they can have all 3 in the same race with their pal Dunn, and throw in all the Millers, that would be a hoot.

Maybe you should take her advice and bet

I actually do, that is why I know she is getting inside info. It is not every weekend though, it is usually after she had a bad week handicapping the week prior when she uses one of the McCarthy's as her best bet or price play or both. Todd is way better than Andrew, and I think Andrew is way more corrupt than Todd.

The McCarthy brothers are sketchy at best. Not just that race, so many races one of them will be a huge fav and a standout and somehow get a bad trip but rally late to finish 2nd to the other McCarthy who was a much better price. They don't hide it after the race either, you see them talking and smiling right after the wire. I also think they tell Jessica Otten, as she always seems to nail her price play and it is almost always on a McCarthy horse. Even if it isn't true, it is such a bad look.

Maybe you should take her advice and bet
