What a superb way, gentlepersons, to offer fans the worst of all possible experiences. Will hot beer and cold hot dogs be served? 

A look at the PPs of the horses involved reads like a who's who of why ain't this horse out to pasture? Throw on its sway back an unfamiliar and little known jock, make the poor thing run like a quarter horse, sans lasix, add in racing club employed trainers -- It's a recipe for drek. 

Thoroughbred handicapping? Ya might as well hand a racing greyhound a scratch-off ticket. That was my Monday. That was my home track. At least I still have my good looks and buckets o' charm.
