Yeah, I'm kind of a roulette junkie. Picked up $4K and a free trip so I'm not complaining. But mostly, Yes there are tons of places to bet the horses... what I meant was I didn't have any internet access to get your plays!!

THanks.

BELLAMY ROAD is his horse.

If you check the thread that I titled "Sat: 6 horse bets today" you will see that I bet him that day.

I knew about him before the bullshit artists in the newspapers have now made him a 2-1 favorite to win the derby.
That day he won by 90.

BUT.....I will check the form that day because breeding is what the derby is all about.
If Bellamy road doesn't have the right blood dosage he won't win the derby at a mile and a quarter.

To win a grade 1 race at that distance YOU MUST HAVE A DOSAGE BLOOD INDEX BELOW 4:0

No horse has ever won the derby with a dosage of 4 and above.

OK...why do I always talk about the morons???????

In the past 15 years they have made horses with a dosage "ABOVE 4" the favorite in 9 of those races.

No horse has EVER won the derby with a dosage of 4 and over BUT THE ASSHOLES MADE 9 HORSES BIG FAVORITES.

Last I heard......THEY WERE STILL RUNNING.

[ZORRO]

What is a blood dosage index?

They take 3 generations of a horses parents (both sides) and they give them points.
THE LOWER THE BETTER.

In racing they do this WORLD WIDE.

They take a horse in stud and give him points for every winner he produces. BUT...the big thing is how many winners does he produce who win graded stake races?

It is this procedure that determines the price on horses when bred and when sold at auction.

The greatest horse of all time in stud is Northern Dancer.
Before he died a few years ago if you wanted him to sire a foal with your Mare the price was 2 million.

Now get this....you paid 2 million even if she didn't get pregnant. ONE SHOT.....pregnant or not.....2 million bucks.

Northern Dancer foals were going for as high as 10 to 20 million each as yearlings the last few years he was in stud.

dude your crazy with these numbers and all this information. THANK YOU for posting everything you post on a daily basis, it helps out a lot, all i have to do is get to an OTB site and start playing. Talking about ego, fuck ego, thats where stupid people come in, if you rather be broke with an ego then your a moron, id rather be nicely set and say thank you to someone else, that might sound like i dont wanna work for what i get but thats bullshit too, it's just that to survive well in America these days, you have to play your cards right no matter what. EGO??? fuck ego, give me the plays and i'll play em all day long!

[ZORRO]

I do understand how this is not a lark.
All of you who took my horses last week found out that to make money isn't easy.

Even if you can beat the game.....how I do it takes a lot of time and energy.

Sitting at a track all day watching tote boards is not easy.

BUT.......my feelings are.....if the damn thing wins.......HEY SHOW ME THE WAY....I'M IN!

[ZORRO]

Notice I've spent a lot of time on here this past week?
I had a gout attack. Still have it but it went down for the first time today in around 9 days.

My left foot has been twice the size . The big toe is what we can now call "REALLY BIG"!
Have not been able to walk all this time.

Anyway, tomorrow I see the specialist (Lung) about my Cat Scan.
Watta ya think? I live or die?
Whats the odds?

I didn't call them after I took it, and they didn't call me. Bad news can wait.

Being my wife has been her usual self, ballbreaker, I don't think she knows anything.

Tomorrow is the day...11am at the hospital. Heres the bad part.....if I don't have anything fatal....the first thing I have to do is make a date for Angioplasty number 3 on my right kidney. A month later....Angio number 4 on my left kidney.

I think this major gout attack was brought about by the dye they put in your body when they do this Angio bullshit. It bothers the kidneys and thats what gave me the attack of gout.

[mike4]

Hope things come out good news for you. Usally when the Doc's don't call you. It most likely me nothings wrong. Let us know.

[ZORRO]

In the past I would agree 100% with you, but not anymore.
After dealing with these doctors for 8 years since I had "open heart" done, I have found out that each and every one of them can care less about you. They truly don't give a shit.

When I was down at 23rd street in NY for the 2 Angio's I have to say they did a great job.
But, you see, that is the only time they wake up, when its life or death.
Outside of that, if you go in the hospital with a hang-nail the chances that they will kill you are 75%.

Do you know on my last visit they took me downstairs for a knee operation???
If I was a little weak in the head you would have read about me in the papers.
"Heart patient is given a new knee".
3 People in the hospital were fired for that little mishap. They also braught me down for a stress test. The doctor who was to give it read my history on the computer and WENT NUTS!
He said "What the hell are they crazy here"?

This guy failed a stress test 4 years ago, he had a heart attack last week, and what do you expect to find that he is better?????
HE SAID A STRESS TEST WOULD HAVE KILLED ME.

My friends, stay the fuck away from hospitals.

Well, I have to see the lung guy at 11am. Nothing I can do about it. I have been seeing him for 8 years so I know him well. Dr Lesser.
First time I met him I said, "Gee, I asked for more and they gave me Lesser".

Let me shower and go get the good news.

[mike4]

I had a situation when I was having masive attacks. Where all the museles in my back & stomach area would get rock hard. And would end up throwing up. They would last for hours. And keep me out of work the next day. It tottaly drained me. They did all kinds of tests on me. The Doc I went to told me it was servre gastrides. Untill the final attach was so violent. The whites of my eyes were full of blood. I ended up in the emergancy room. The out-come was GALL BLADDER (SLUGE). The Doc that preformed the surgery said that my doc should have noticed the symthoms. When that STUIPID bitch showed up in my room the morning of the surgery. I could have strangled that cunt. I went through these attacks for over six years. And the shitty part about it is. I spent 7 hours in the Emergancy room before they gave me anything to kill the pain. They checked me out at first. And then let me sit there in total pain. I think I passed out a couple of times.

In total. I stay the Fuck away from these ass holes. Don't even get me started on the shit my Mother goes thru being on Medicare. That's a joke.

Look forward to the Derby this year. I would love to go there in person. I might just take a weeks vacation and go there next year. But this year is Vegas.

Will watch for your post on it.

I have to be honest and tell you I am not sure on that horse.
But, I am sure that if he had a dosage over 4 he was the only horse in derby history.

Yesterday, I did not get good news at the hospital. They will hold a doctors conference next Tuesday on me, and I will go there on Whensday to see what the story is.

They found a tumor in my right lung the size of a quarter. If this has been there for some 5 years there is no trouble. If it first showed up two months ago....THATS ALL FOLKS!

The biggest killer in this country is lung cancer. Kills more people than all the other cancers put together.

A group of doctors study the cat-scan and x-rays I've taken the last 5 years, and come to a conclusion.

You can bet your ass the first thing will be a biopsy on the lung. They do that and the puzzle is solved right there and then. Malignant or not...end of story.

At one time in the restaurant business I was Superman.....today I'm SuperSHIT.

Nothing I can do. I didn't blink yesterday. After being a squad leader in Cambodia there isn't much to make an impression on me. My wifes reaction was another story.

Last night I got a million calls. All they do is annoy me. Facts are facts. What will be will be.

I don't know anybody who ever died of good health.

They gave me gout pills that taken every day will stop me from having another attack.

Let me see......I am now taking 77, 890 pills a fucking day.
Heart, Lungs, Kidneys, high blood pressure,etc!

Hey,one more won't hurt. Hey, do they have a pill for a malignant tumor????

[mike4]

Sorry about the news Zorro. Keep us updated.

[ZORRO]

Many times We say that we are CALM but......I noticed in one reply where I spelled Wednesday....W-H-E-N-S-day.

Guess I may indeed be a little upset.

Ask me if this SUITS ZORRO.......

Perfect fit for gout

[bpd67]

[In action girl]

Thank you very much.

Because I have had a very bad week in baseball and I have two NBA bets this week-end, plus 7 baseball games today, I would do a Racing form next week.
Have to get some money.

Reason I can't say I will do one for sure is my Doctor gig Wednesday.
If the news isn't good....I don't think I will feel like doing a form.

We will see
