On Saturday morning Phil e-mailed John Pricciīs Derby picks to the Ennead. Phil is hoping that the Ennead listened to Pricci and flat bet Super Saver at 8 - 1. Phil wasnīt. Last fall Phil sent out Pricciīs Picks on Gitano Hernando and Hot Cha Cha. Remembered to flat bet those, but suffered gimmick overload and had nothing flat in Derby.
Thatīs a faux pas which is French for dumb shit.

Itīs spring fever. That is what the name of it is. And when youīve got it, you want - oh, you donīt quite know what it is you do want, but it just fairly makes your heart ache, you want it so!

I like Baltimore - despite its slicked-up touristy waterfront it remains a seedy old port city, reformable only to a negligible degree.

Will one of the way too many managers at HRA and Northlands have the guts to stand up and tell the Alberta racing public whatīs happening with Ricky Walcottīs status. Or will Walcott be treated like Mike Dimoff and Real Simard, just sweep them under the carpet and ignore their accomplishments for all the years they were at Northlands.
You didnīt know that Ricky may not be allowed to ride at Northlands this year.
Northlands hasnīt even mentioned that Glen Weirīs on sick leave.
If youīre one of the loyal few who head on down to the Awards dinner, listen to whoīs calling the races when they show the replays.
Wonder if someone from Edmonton Northlands will be presenting the award to Ricky for top jockey in 2009.
