Five Dollars for Socks

@barchyman Great news, Tom!

Thanks to all for the prayers, thoughts and well-wishes. My bride had her surgery on the 23rd, and we met with the oncology surgeon yesterday for the results. Everything was the lowest grade/stage possible, all is out, no follow up treatment needed!

@Starks43 I remember which TV I was watching from at Monmouth Park, screaming my head off. With different timing and luck could have won the TC.

@maidenking1 Monster race in Preakness. Was there and bet on in the Belmont. That class was amazing.

So underrated...terrific horse.

@goofonroof @PapaBeez Led to a year.

@PapaBeez I most certainly haven't. Let's see where all this leads.

As a bettor, this last paragraph to me is one of the most insulting things I’ve ever seen. He gave a sketchy ride, so bad the trainer asked the stews to look into it and you’re going to consider legal action a bettor that supports the game? Fuck this game sometimes.

I miss Christopher.

@barchyman Just happened to me and pathologist report was not good. But surgery turned out much better than expected, almost not even necessary. Stay positive!

My sweet bride got results of biopsy she had done. Cancerous, but appears in early stages. Thank God for that! Now however, that seemingly interminable wait so many of you have experienced is upon her/us: that span of time until they go in and get it out! Prayers welcomed.

So great, McMahon had one of the best laughs.

@JonasLeng What a strange response.

@maidenking1 Terrible? You think he should get away with it?

Oisin Murphy charged with DUI. Really terrible news in so many ways.

@RowleyfileRRR James Willoughby

If British racing were to appoint a “benign dictator”, whose word immediately became law (within the realms of reality), who would you most trust to be that person?

@EJXD2 @CampWashChili @Skyline_Chili Thanks!

@maidenking1 @CampWashChili @Skyline_Chili Going to have to hit skyline. CW a bit of a schlep from there

Doing a tour of Cincinnati with Dominic. First stop: @CampWashChili!

@EJXD2 @CampWashChili @Skyline_Chili Belterra Park, where else? 😃

@maidenking1 @CampWashChili Where will your day be? I prefer Camp Washington but @Skyline_Chili may be more convenient for you.

@AKBets This behavior is indeed appalling, but moralizing from bookmakers who are the heart of the problem with UK racing, goes over equally poor.

🚨 THE UK TOTE 🚨 Lots of comment from #TheRacingRoom podcast over the last few months (and a few others) on the UK Tote. They have now admitted they make a profit from ‘seeding’ their own pools. My opinion is seeding is a generous word to use in this scenario. Now …

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security.    Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.   Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

@RacingPost Loads of runners. They’re shite, but there’s lots of them!

Carlisle racecourse just ran the Carlisle Bell, first run in 1599.👀

@Chrissy_Ottb @caseyhelennn @OBSSales Your last sentence seems like it was dropped in from a different thread.

I agree, beyond the simple welfare issues, there are major economic concerns, supply concerns (San Juan is regularly rationing water for citizens do to shortages ) hay is poor quality, so needs to be shipped in for TBs, land is scarce, homes are scarce. The list goes on. The hard truth is horse racing in Puerto Rico benefits VERY few, at the expense of others. Having gambling in general is insanely irresponsible.

All the horses bought @OBSSales recently. Sickening to think of the fate waiting for these poor babies. @OBSSales needs to take some accountability here.

F Cuomo and centrist Dems. Learn a lesson.

@EmilyOptixEQ @Bourdain Loved those Jamaican beef patties.

happy birthday @Bourdain
