REASON TO DRINK ran the race of his life last out but Carmouche opts for Trombetta's Deli shipper ROMAN BAY. Is that a clue? I dunno, I ain't that smart.

CANDY HEART is in good form and can either cut the fractions or stalk. The figs just keep rising off the Lebarron claim and this horse is looking for his third win in a row.

ZONKER fired huge in the slop last out in one of those strange conditioned allowance races and goes into a N3L claimer today.

pk 4 3rd leg goes on with 2-6

pk 3 2-3-6/2/3-5

I land a P3 off two singles with 4/5/9 but the account is north of where it started from.

I never posted the grass races because they are wide-open piddle puppies and I only had some early thoughts about who could go today without liking anybody.

The ROMAN is the one I liked all day.

P3: 4/2-3/2-5

P3: 4-6/3/1

Damn, I screwed up some wagers. The account is still happy with the Lump home but I should be in better shape.

I blame all my misfortune on white women, minorities, the Marine Corps, cats that scratch, strong drink, and the nuns that beat me 58 years ago when I was in the first grade.

Did I miss anybody? I want to be a 21st-century "cool" guy that lays all of his mistakes and his failings onto somebody else.
