Got my mind on my money and my money on my mind...

Sheesh...I hate to brag...

That being said...Oh, did I have Papa Clem wired in The Arkansaw Derby

on Saturaday afternoon or what? I've been playing that horse since 4 days after

Christmas at Santa Anita and he's been nothing but money!

Now he's going to The Derby and I have him in the Futures Pool at 60-1...

I can almost smell my Steak & Clam Linguine at Rao's now...

I don't think he'd of had a shot with Pamplemousse in the race but that ship has sailed...

All of Gulfstream Park is descending on NY this month...gonna be a long Spring on the

grass but that's ok...Loquacious Lover and Master of Disaster are going at it today

in Philly...it's not like I need the money but hey, 20-1 ain't bad in a Pick 3.

I think I got it...trust me, I'm not like the others...

Too bad John The Believer went back to golf...we sure do miss his money

in the betting pools at Big A...

See yah at post time,

Spanky

Soy...un perdedor...

I'm a loser baby...so why don't you kill me....

now those are some lyrics!

And to think it all started with The Pamplemousse getting

scratched out of The Santa Anita Derby on Saturday...

and now out of the Kentucky Derby.

Believe me, The Pioneer of The Nile NEVER would have

won that race. My Derby Futures tickets, now, no more than bookmarks.

So yesterday I got Single Scoop in  the 5th at Philly...I got

Express Lane in the 7th and Attack Jack deadlocked in the 6th.

No problemo, right...a $650 Pick 3 for the taking...

Except for the friggin fact The New York Racing Association

closes all NY OTB's for Palm Sunday and nobody TELLS ME!

What about Racing For Jesus...hard to take...who knew

The NRA got religion..?

Ah...back to Philly in the rain today...

Remember...a friend will help you move,

a good friend will help you move a body.

See ya at post time,

Spanky...a very broken-hearted Spanky at that.
