Brooklyn/Belmont double

Postby Bill from WA » Fri Jun 07, 2013 2:56 pm

I just got the first half with Calidoscopio. Now I need Palace Malice to win tomorrow. ($20 play). Unbelievable run by this ten-year-old, coming from at least 20 lengths back to get the win.

Hi Bill,
He ran a great race....I think he's only the 2nd horse to win a GR I at Belmont at ten years of age. That ticket will be worth more than an ounce of gold:>) Good Luck, TJ

The ticket is worth an ounce of something allright - Palace Malice Bill old age must be catching up with you.

I think its time TJ kept you a seat on that Bingo bus of his.... :lol:

Hi Dub

Yes, old age is catching up with me (as it will with you one day). All that betting horses is, is an opinion, and you're certainly entitled to yours. I respect your opinion as much as anyone, and I wish you the best of luck with your wagers. I'm having cataract surgery on Monday, so I will be off for awhile.
Good luck to all in the Belmont.

Ah that explains your pick then, only joking.

Good luck with the surgery and I wish you a speedy recovery.

One day we will all end up on TJ's bus to Bingo.

Hi Dub,
No bus, I drive my Maserati Quattroporte GTS to bingo, I get there faster and have plenty room for extra passengers:>) TJ

Thanks Joltman. Pretty routine surgery. I expect everything will go well. I have a great doctor doing the hard work.

Just got home from surgery, Everything went well. I'm trying to type this using one eye, so my depth perception sucks.
