Dad, husband, son, brother. Northwestern, Illinois alumnus. 🏈, 🐎 enthusiast. 2024 NHC semifinalist. They got a name for the winners in the world. -30-
In the 2nd at Turfway, Writeitontheice runs. This son of Keen Ice is a special horse to me. He ran 2nd at 33-1 in the NHC and that place money helped get me into the final day for a tourney cash. His coat is as white as winter snow and he is one of this Earth’s most noble creatures.

I expected a rocket-ship performance from Barnes. I’m guessing they did too.

Tonight’s game plan: get the ingredients ready for the oyster stuffing and the collard greens. My two tried-and-true side dishes.

I *think* I am playing the Hawthorne contest on Friday. I have zero experience in this format (shrugs). Small fish in a big pond and whatnot.

Kudos to my 7yo son. First year of fantasy football & is 7-5 doing it himself and giving a bunch of has-been adults their lumps, including his father.

What @ejxd2.bsky.social wrote here is important, foundational advice. If you think a favorite can’t be beaten leverage that in multi-race wagers. All the more powerful if you like a price to single in another leg.
Red Carpet fair odds: Focus on a shipper who has been immaculately spotted.

I’m enjoying a timeline without the clutter and with significantly more friendliness abound. I feel freer. I think this place is going to get most of my illogic and 1/3-baked insights.

I cry at weddings, funerals, about 30% of the cute things my kids do, and when a turf course closes for the season.

All of my posts on this first day are made humming the Smashing Pumpkins’ cover of ‘Landslide.’ I suppose I’m wistful.

I am confused, this site is not serving up posts asking me to storm the Capitol.

I believe this thing is on. Anyways hello and welcome. 46.5% of my posts will be about football, 46.5% will be about horse racing, 4% will be about college basketball, and 3% will kindly ask you to get off my lawn.
