The Ponies Thread (part 2)

[Sharkey]

haha no I haven't she's nutty enough, a fucking Princess I tell ya. Can't give her much more to demand from me or she'll be hounding me even more nonstop than usual, lol. I will make sure to stay away from said vids, Scarlett does love running across keyboards, tho, she'll step on anything, even set herself on top of my laptop/pc and look at me like "this is mine now" lulz. She loves being the center of attention, whatever I'm looking at she tries to get in front of, it's really funny.

Here's a question I have for you guys @Sharkey @t6p @Black Paladin @ImNotSurpisedDonks! and others. Do you guys have a lucky cloth number/s? I love my 3/4/6 horses in that order. I don't know why and it's not something I'd use to cap, obv, but if I do happen on one of those ponies I feel like I have a better chance to pull one out than usual. Do you guys have the same or is that just another one of my weird idiosyncrasies again?

Ain't it funny how cats have been stereotyped as being aloof and wanting to be left alone all the time? I've never understood that. I'm sure they are cats like that, but that trait from them is likely due to the way they were raised and mostly left alone by their owners. I've never had a cat like that, and Bella certainly isn't. She's like Scarlett in that she always wants to be around me whether she wants attention or just wants to sleep. She's almost always within an arms reach of me, though.

And no, I don't have any lucky numbers or anything like that. My wife does, though, when she makes an occasional bet. She always takes either the #5 or the #7 no matter what. Just depends what name appeals to her more out of those two.

 

[t6p]

I probably should have mentioned this, T, but both of these horses have concerns when it comes to their fitness level due to layoffs (for me anyways). The first horse you have listed here, Onemorefastdance, hasn't had a race for over 4 months, but what is most concerning is that she has had only one listed workout over those 4 months. Your second horse, Stronger Than Ever, is coming in off an even lengthier layoff of near 7 months, but unlike the other one, that one has at least been working steadily over the last month or two.

It's entirely your choice of course. I'm not telling you not to pick them or anyways. But I just thought I bring that to your attention if you didn't notice it already in the PP's. Otherwise you and I are going to have very similar picks today. ELD for the win! Hopefully at least and we're not a day late. Horses with a good ELD and even pace figures have been a pretty consistent theme, though, from what I noticed the past few weeks. Not "4 wins of 6 at 20/1 and higher" good mind you like the last couple days. But it's had a very positive impact for the most part.

Shit, I’m an idiot. I had golf plans today and I didn’t have time to look over the PPs before I left. Oh well, that’s what I get, haha. Can’t change em now so I just have to hope for the best.

Yessir, if the lil one isn't on top of me she's almost always near me. She has her own special spots and if they are taken by a human that human better watch out. Sweetheart with an attitude if she's not w/ her Pops, lol.

 

[BluntTrauma21]

I'll be on Ibaka here, don't have time to catch up with the livest odds since nfl is consuming my day. GL everybody!

 

[Sharkey]

You said he was a genius the other day, and I agree, but also you can tell b/c real motherfuckers don't call themselves something special. They play it down. Shark is a genius and he won't admit b/c he's a classy dude and also just doesn't realize how smart he really is.

I feel like with these compliments I have to insult you now, @Sharkey, uhhh, you're a pos. There I made up for my ass kissing.

Haha. Cheers bud. And yes, I will take being called a piece of shit over that "ass kissing" stuff any day of the week.

 

[t6p]

Yeah I lost one of my "lives" b/c I didn't hit the board on any of my picks. Good thing is I still have two left so I'm still gunning for top 500!

Lol that's fucking adorable, glad she likes it. Bella has good taste imo. Cats love the moving objects don't they? It's starting to get colder over here but Scarlett will literally sit in the window and stare at anything that moves, esp the squirrel that's always hanging out on the porch. She's tormented by that thing, haha. She also stares at the horses sometimes when the races are one, She even chases shadows, I'm so alien to cats since I grew up with dogs but they are really funny lil nerds, love em.

Yup unfortunately some can't bring themselves to empathize with the sleepy eyed struggle. Our eyes are open, our eyelids just don't feel like working that hard. If you think about it ppl with sleepy eyes actually have smarter eyes b/c we don't overwork ourselves to open more than we need to. #EfficientEyelids.

@t6p I see you coming after me, I am not above scratching, biting, or eye gouging, esp if you have big doe eyes and they're easy targets. Mine won't be. Haha. GL today boys!

I was hoping to sneak back up quietly without you guys noticing but I guess that didn’t work out, haha. I like it though, gotta love a little friendly competition.

Oh, and I’m partial to the #9 cloth.

Almost race time. Best of luck gentlemen!

I'll take some of the blame on that, T, if it doesn't work out for you. I've noted long layoffs before for you guys and should have done so again. I'll try to remedy that in the future.

GL song of the day for us.

No way bud, totally my fault. Lazy capping by me. That said, sometimes it’s better to be lucky than good. Tonight might be one of those times...or not, haha.

You never know, right? I didn't really even want to make that post in the first place just because I hate talking somebody off a horse then were planning to play, and especially if that horse goes out and runs a good race for you. Just thought you should be aware of a couple of those things, but I made sure to add the "your choice" disclaimer. I hope it works out well for you regardless. Not too well, though. I don't need you passing Blunt, me, and the rest of the people in the contest with a 50/1 winner. But a nice show payout, sure. I can root for that.

 

[BluntTrauma21]

Shots across the bow on the 4 and 1's at more than generous odds. Feeling good baby!

 

[t6p]

Wow at that finish in the Oklahoma Derby!!

 

[t6p]

No idea who won that. Crazy finish.

 

[t6p]

@Sharkey did you have the #3 there?

If so that’s a nice place at 19/1, though the win would have been nicer.

Looks like @BluntTrauma21 got something out of that with the #7 showing too.

Agreed, homes. Shark is a humble mofo but a genius too.

Sharkey, what horse is Khabib and what horse is McGregor?


Are we talking er vs Bid, Colin vs Secretariat, Zenyatta vs Pharlap?

 

[Naught2Sixty]

You said he was a genius the other day, and I agree, but also you can tell b/c real motherfuckers don't call themselves something special. They play it down. Shark is a genius and he won't admit b/c he's a classy dude and also just doesn't realize how smart he really is.

I read through here a lot out of boredom. Most of the time I have no clue wtf you guys are talking about but I have to agree on this sentiment. Shark is p4p one of the smartest dudes on SD. Dont turn big head mode on though Shark.

If so that’s a nice place at 19/1, though the win would have been nicer.

Looks like @BluntTrauma21 got something out of that with the #7 showing too.

Nah, I picked Sea Foam that race, T. I didn't hit anything today besides a measely show horse in race 10. Just wasn't a day for very many longshots. Glad you got that place horse at nice odds at least, though.

Agreed, homes. Shark is a humble mofo but a genius too.

Sharkey, what horse is Khabib and what horse is McGregor?


Are we talking er vs Bid, Colin vs Secretariat, Zenyatta vs Pharlap?

I have no idea what horse they'd be, Donk. That's kinda of a weird question. Haha. I'm guessing Khabib is happy being the human version of Khabib, and the same for Conor. It's going to be an extremely interesting fight, though, to say the least.

I read through here a lot out of boredom. Most of the time I have no clue wtf you guys are talking about but I have to agree on this sentiment. Shark is p4p one of the smartest dudes on SD. Dont turn big head mode on though Shark.

Cheer N, but I think it would be impossible for someone to get a big head in this game as it has a way of humbling even the very best of them out there. Just the nature of the way things are in it. Besides those that like win or show betting 1/5 shots, almost every single bet made on horse racing is more likely to lose than not no matter who is making the bet.

Wow at that finish in the Oklahoma Derby!!

I just saw the finish of that race, T. Holy shit. It's not every day when you get to see 3 horses at at the line together like that and within an inch of each other. That's a bit of a tough beat for your #3 horse, but at least they didn't post him as the 3rd place horse of the group which he easily could have been if the line was a foot shorter or longer. Silver lining and all that.
