Poll subject to change

[Mr. Potatoe Head]

The Spirit Level

Decided ability and fine character
Startling the flies that were thickly sprinkled all over it
From dragon of Royal horse guards
on a dark summers day
closing arguments
sons of wild wonders
flower alley
going wild towards
buzzard bay
survivalist grocer of greater
good towards a high limit
among the spanish chestnut

Rockport...Wilkos????

At any rate that's my pick at the time till things change

Greater Good to the Castle!

[Me]

Yes, it is that magical time of year when one can drive a few hours north by a few hours south and see the sprigs of change. Quite appropriate for a good horse race.

Bellamy Road better win or George Steinbrenner is really gonna have a fuckin' coronary...

His 200 million dollar baseball team (The Yankees.... or Stinkees because of how they've been playing) sux right now....

[Kares4Rush]

Well, I WANT (I think) Belamy Road to win but I'm a betting on "Alex" hee hee.

My "longshot" bet at OTB tomorrow will be on Andromeda.

I'm totally psyched guys!!! Thanks for putting up the poll, spud.

I'm having my usual Derby Day party tomorrow even though the weather will be "crappy" here in NY but I have enough food and drink to make it a BBQ or NON BBQ.

May the best Hossie win!!!
