there was no stud deal, this is probably still true:
Iavarone said May 14 he believes there is no chance Big Brown will race as a 4-year-old
Not with those feet… sigh.

I’m rolling up my sleeves and getting ready to settle into some handicapping, which probably means I’ll be posting quite a bit tonight!
The minute I don’t check in around ye olde internet a ton of stuff happens! Here’s a sample of the stuff I’ve cruised through as I gear up to get to down to business.

Churchill Downs (blake seely)
ESPN2 has the oaks under card! I had no idea, mind you, I can only wager on the Oaks online.
The weather is hideous at Churchill! I missed the Louisville Stakes, but they replayed the stretch run which featured winner Ginger Punch hopping over a puddle… impressive!
I didn’t handicap the Oaks (or much of anything yet), but I’ll be placing a little sloppy track exacta of Bsharpsonata & Little Belle.

In the last poll, 20 thought it was fair to cross enter Eight Belles while 11 of you thought it was not. Of those in the “fair” camp, it was split down the middle 10/10 between “yes she can” and “no she can’t”.
Of the 11 in the “unfair” camp, 5 of you couldn’t blame them for doing it!
Next stop, race replays…

The segment had them literally making a Derby pie with Martha, chatting about the film, the Derby in general and the importance of home made pie crust (which is what they lack in Dubai… link to segment when it’s available). If you missed it or didn’t DVR it, check for a re-run, you won’t be sorry!
