Oopsy, one too many Black-eyed Susan's caused me to plop this in the wrong spot!
Sugar's bets are...
$25 win/place on Schoolyard Dreams = $50
$10 Exacta Box Schoolyard Dreams with Super Saver = $20
$5 Trifecta Box Schoolyard Dreams with Super Saver and Dublin = $30
Maryland, my Maryland...
There's no such thing as a wrong spot Sport, when you're sippin' Black-Eyed Susans from The SUGAR*SHACK!
Uh, I'd better quit sippin' and study my racin' form too.
KATE REACHED INTO HER $100 POCKET AND PLAYED THE PONIES THIS WAY:
TO WIN:
Super Saver ~ $10
Looking At Lucky ~$10
TO PLACE:
Super Saver ~ $10
Looking At Lucky ~ $10
Dublin ~ $10
TO SHOW:
Super Saver ~ $8
Looking At Lucky ~ $8
Dublin ~ $8
Paddy O'Prado ~ $8
Jackson Bend ~ $8
Yawanna Twist ~ $10, my longshot
Now off to the SUGAR*SHACK for sippin' and *clinkin* Black-Eyed Susans and hearin' Shoogs sing "Maryland My Maryland" < It gets better the more I drink!
Easy selection:
$20 on Schoolyard Dreams to Win
$20 on Schoolyard Dreams to Place
$20 on Schoolyard Dreams to Show
and an extra $40 on Calvin Borel to see if his mouth is where his horse is -- to win the Triple Crown -- That would be Super Saver to Win
Prof knows schoolin' and there ain't no better place to bet than Dreamin' in a Schoolyard.
I've dreamed on quite a few...
Whatdidya dream? And did they come true?
One time I dreamed I was Harriet Tubman and told all my passengers that every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world.
Maryland, my Maryland, where Harriet Tubman was the conductor on that Underground Freedom Train
And I always believed that somewhere over the rainbow where skies are blue...the dreams that I dared to dream really would come true...I'm patient.
If happy bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow then why oh why can't you? True. The Harriet Tubman dream is some mighty heady stuff of goodness doing its best stuff. Your stuff is worth that stuff. Now ... on to the races.
HERE'S HARRY'S PICKS FROM WHERE HE CALLED IN FROM THE PADDOCK, SEEMINGLY GETTING SOME HORSE-SENSE. (that's what they all say) ... Shoogs and I figger it has somethin' to do with a filly - it's always a filly:
"Time to go look at some ponies. Here are my picks for when you get the Preakness pick 'ems up At The Bijou:
$100 Trifecta Lookin' At Lucky in front of Super Saver in front of Paddy O'Prado 7,8,10" -- HSB
Well Lookin' At Lucky did his part but what happened to Super Saver and Paddy o'Prado?
Here are the results:
12th Race

Looks like the only one cashing today is AK.
$10 win = $34 + $10 place = $23 + $8 show bet = $15.20 for a return of $72.20 for the $100.00 bet.
Winner by virtue of the smallest loss ($17.80) to host off brand M&Ms and Old Milwaukee after party. Congratulations Katie*Girl!
OK, I missed another one.
AK also had Jackson Bend to SHOW for $8 bucks, giving her another $26.40 and pushing her Pure Pimilico Profit (and Peanut M&Ms and Pabst Party budget) to $8.60.
Kongrats K*G!
That's the BIG bag of Peanut M&M's, all the better to share with track pals on the car ride home of exultation ... which leaves enough for a Smirnoff Ice to sip in the Place my Win did Show.
Hmmm, and Sugar and I will think twice about letting you cash in our tickets at the WINNER's WINDOW! (smile inclusive - I heard you bet a horse yesterday by name of Bad Karma - you'd think -- ah, nevermind)
Awwww Damn! So sorry I missed this one yesterday!! I was too busy introducing people to Lost Boys and Fright Night!!!
Well Ms Introducer ... While you were with the Lost Boys I waited til after the race to head into the forest of Nottingham with Sir Robin that Hood. We'll send Benny da Bookie over before the Belmont so you can bet your hundred smackeroos in style.
