I learned that when you flop a straight on an all spade board to tread lightly because the scumbag to your left might call your bet with his As and hit his nut flush on the turn.. :roll:

I believe Greg Merson found that out against Jesse James Sylvia.

I only tried one P3 (FAIL) but I kept trying tri's and Sup's. Went broke fast.

I learned as TT has always said " if it is bet, they will take it".

I had a little too much learning but the one thought I took away is that if we can get enough guys like Jim Rome and his audience interested in the sport, we might be able to save horse racing.

Don't underestimate any 9 year old horses . Also , can't believe that Trinniberg, The Lumber Guy, Smiling Tiger, Sum of the Parts super paid 50,000. Ten cent tri's the way to go if you are playing from home ( i will not play them on the machines live , as it pisses me off when other people do this to me). Also, do not put Raphael Bejarano on your horse. Still say he effed up the ride on Power Broker (either that or he bounced)

From Vince I learned the correct way to pronounce Dullahan.

LOL!

Will always be a huge, huge fan of Dullahan.

Horses to Vince are like baseball teams, wives and dogs. You got them for life. As Led Zeppelin says, in Good Times, Bad Times.

It's funny, I sat next to one of those Dullahan groupies and his wife on Saturday at the Breeders' Cup. Guy was the nicest Irishman in the world as are all Irish folks. We both agreed that when we die we will have our heads chopped off and used with/as Dullahans or whatever.

For the record I put a sentimental and emotional $10.17 to win on Dullahan, not that I thought he'd win the Turd race - but just in case he miraculously did.

On the other hand, I did tout him in the Derby - mainly because I had a sizeable future wager on him at 40-1. He ran a very nice suck up 3rd and would have won for fun had not his drunken jock (Desormeaux) taken him 17 wide. I also prophetically touted him like loving crazy in the Pacific Classic a month before that race....

viewtopic.php?f=4&t=14497&p=90067&hilit=dullahan#p90067

But if you can find where I touted Dullahan for HotY or in either of his last two Turd races I will send you a $700.00 voucher along with another trip to Tahoe with those same two Quackos.
