Gahhh…Too many races, not enough time to handicap them all…GOOD LUCK!!
Gutsy pick in the Triple Bend. How the hell do you figure Tropic Storm wins that race?
Yeah, I was in trouble today too because the Hollywood finishes actually made sense. Not so many upsets this time around.
So how did your picks turn out on the 4th? BTW, I have someone (a former student) who is interested in being in a writer’s group with us. Do you think you’re up for putting the group back together? It would have to be on weekends. What do you think?
