Roaring Good Time

@JamesFox917 @WaddleandSilvy I'm not angry. It's just an absurd thing to say. His career OBP is barely .300.

@WaddleandSilvy I think the hate is real. Definitely from the people who don’t like the Cubs and aren’t Bears fans. It’s nuts. PCA is the best player in the city. Sox fans were very angry with me online for saying that.

@jordanravens1 @GhostofSwiftH And list'nin to some big out-a-town jasper Hearin' him tell about horse-race gamblin' Not a wholesome trottin' race, no! But a race where they set down right on the horse! Like to see some stuck-up jockey boy Settin' on Dan Patch? Make your blood boil? Well, I should say

@GhostofSwiftH Harness racing not a sport

Who is greatest Harness (trotter/ pacer) of all time? Niatross?

@TaraBull @RaymondPettibon Trump hiring dragons to attack Iran.

Who are these guys?

@ShotTakingTime It was great when he whiffed that punt in the '85 playoffs. BEARZZZ!

@ThienemanSZN I'm pretty sure the best player in Chicago- whoever that is- doesn't have a sub-.300 OBP.

PCA is the best player in Chicago and that isn’t even up for debate

@Jerry_C__ @iowahawkblog @fiago7 Brauhaus is gone.

@iowahawkblog @fiago7 Carola’s Hansa Clipper seems to still be around in Lincoln Square. I’m getting conflicting information about the Brauhaus. Can’t tell if it still exists or not.

Macy’s in Chicago. To be honest with you I only went in there because I desperately had to pee during my 4h walk but wow that’s giant flag 😂🇺🇸 I respect how proud Americans are of their country, unimaginable back home in Germany.

@GhostofSwiftH It would be an interesting race. Englishman may have more raw speed but Book 'Em Danno has a heart the size of a whale.

Englishman has chance to go down as one of best sprinters ever. That was insane. I respect Book em Danno and Bentornato but man

@GXWash @EJXD2 @BeemieAwards @seattleracing To put it another way, I don't believe the abuse is in running a horse back in two weeks or even a week. The abuse is in what must be done to get a top effort off that short rest. Nobody is racing on hay, oats, and water. If they are they're going broke.

@GXWash @EJXD2 @BeemieAwards @seattleracing There is a related conversation regarding drugs and top efforts that no one really wants to have. This is observation not accusation, but give Pletcher 60 days with a top horse and he's hard to beat while some other guys can wheel them back in 14 days and repeat a top effort.

@EmilyOptixEQ @turfmatt Who needs another one?

@turfmatt those don't come around often. the hunt for the next doncho has already begun 😉

ELP signal is sketchy

@ShotTakingTime No kidding! Caramouche almost choked Laurelin off her feet and then when he asked her to go you could see the confusion on her face like, "What the fuck does this guy want from me?"

Every other horse getting choked like it’s an S&M party except Flavien who just guides them around Saratoga turf stakes racing is so fucking back

What is the best sports photo of all time? I'll start:

@GregReinhart Yeah, for sure it makes the final anticlimactic.

@roaringgoodtime I can see both sides of the argument open v. seeded post draw. I'm just looking at what I think would have been the best storyline for the final. Now I think it's like a big college football game where one team loses the week before and it loses some of its steam.

Sticking Mamba and Beau in the same elim is trashola. That's a matchup you save for the final.

@GregReinhart Why should the best horses have more advantage than they already do? I understand owners want a jogburger elim and the best post in the final. That isn't really great for the gambler.

I think WEG usually does the right thing but this is a gigantic fumble. You hope both win their elim and then you pitch the Best in Canada v. Best in the US matchup for $1M to every news outlet you can find. Now it's just sickos watching them race where five make the final.

@Pullthepocket Why should some other horse in Burke's barn always get to duck Louprint or Loua Dipa in elims?

Massive test on class for Beau and Mamba. They've never faced anything close to this quality. If either bet this crew handily, I'll be convinced the hype is 100% real. What a horse race!

Hmm, 4 of the top five seeds in the same elimination? What a mess up imo.

@Pullthepocket I get that it steals some thunder from the final. But I don't think seeding elims is great either. There are too many advantages to the top horses. Oak Grove is doing it right. Open draw and no automatic separation for entries in elims.

@DerbySuperfecta @EJXD2 @jonathanstettin @wire_right @fatbaldguyracin @Zipseatthetrack Who do you think will have the lead? Could Growth Equity wire the field? After all his howling about Sierra Leone is the Commish going to use Powershift as a rabbit?

Which Belmont horse do you believe benefits most from a slower pace than the public realizes? @EJXD2 @jonathanstettin @wire_right @fatbaldguyracin @Zipseatthetrack

@DOM_Frederic @North2North It's a funny game.

plenty of season left, but I just want to take the moment to recognize this should not happen. especially how both teams have been set up of late. unacceptable & a honest wake up call for me

@smarchele @nickseevers @EmilyOptixEQ Me too! The teacher asked what 9 - 5 was and I said $5.80 if you get a break on the change.

@nickseevers @EmilyOptixEQ I learned math at the track

Did I just call to get my kid out of school early so I don't miss @EmilyOptixEQ talking Belmont. Yes I did.... who needs 6th period math when the Belmont draw is on?

@katrosenfield You're definitely nubile. Mine is Duane Josephson.

With my condolences to the handful of followers who thought I was a nubile young thing... it's Jim Leyritz
