whats the general thought Dante about what the Sharks are going to do with Kane? I am hoping they are going sign him, but guess that is up to Kane as well. My sense from 3,000 miles away is it seems like a good fit on both sides.?

I ain't buying McPhee is a great GM John..lets see how this thing progresses over the next 5 years

Ullmark is your starter next year...I can't see the Sabres making the $4m qualifying offer to Lehner..just not a good fit here, and its to bad. I think if Lehner was a 2nd round Sabre draftee, he would not be the whipping boy of the fans. But much like Whitner, he is always linked to how he was acquired.

I think they absolutely addressed the pash rush. Trent Murphy on the outside, Star and Horrible Harry clogging the middle and pushing the pocket back..all will have a positive effect I believe!

No way anyone in the league wanted Fleury and his contract. Vegas wanted a "face" for the franchise, and Fleury was highest profile name available. Our new GM, unlike GMTM, will not be spending big money or 1st round draft picks on goalies..of that, i am pretty confident!

Sabres not as far as everyone thinks..wont go into detail here..but I think 2 or 3 moves cleanses this team and gets the Sabres playing the "housley" system

Every team looks so much faster and better in the playoffs..just can't compare regular Sabres to playoff Any Team..Sabres still sucked this year though!!!

The draft rules were very favourable to the Knights..so much so I really don't think Seatle will get the same deal. Pens absolutely wanted out from Fleury, and good for Fleury for playing so well. I am 100% convinced winning like this so early is not good for the franchise and long-term support. We shall see, but I always look at the Panthers and their early success, and what has happened there. Now we all know Miami is a poop sports town, but I think winning also hurt Jacksonville. Be interesting to see in 5 years.

have never been to a game there..but if yu want to treat..I am in! no, not yet. Just saying thing Caps in the ECF will make for an epic final

Thank god for that!! ECF should be awesome but do think Caps-Bolts might be one for the ages.

Holy crap..I am at a Derby party trying to bets for everyone on Twinspires.com and it freaking crashed!!!!

I would think if you bet at Bovada, you look the odds in if he is showing different than the track...but I truly have no clue. I always bet the horses on twinspires. But that might be a great bet and I am going there now!!!! BTW, personal bias for me in next race, I always bet horses running on the turf out of Kris S line, and the 6 is!!! I like the 6,10, 3 in the Woodford!

who had the super in race 10? $79K for $1!!!!! I had one of the horses. Quick note, both the 3 and 4 closed on the rail, while the pace tried to stay off the rail to avoid what looked like deeper dirt. Track looked fine BTW..I dont think it will come into effect, especially as the rain seems to be dissipating.

If you still at the OTB, you can always cancel em and get new numbers. If ya already home..lets hope and pray! And, race is still 2 1/2 hours away..they can get that track to dry up a ton if they get a solid hour without rain. So am I!

Good to be up!!!!!! Jack is a big closer, but if the track is muddy, hard to close into the pace a lot of times. So many of the races coming up at Churchill on the turf, so can't really get a good read from them

I mean I am shocked these odds are still so low on Jack..one would have to bet Bolt at 8-1 all day over Jack at 5-1.

Jack is 1 for 1 in the wet, but his wet breeding numbers are not among the top numbers in the field. Those would be held by 1, 5, 6, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17 and 18. They all have over a 400 Tomlinson for wet. Does not mean they will be , just their bloodlines suggest they should handle a wet surface. The 4 is 2 for 2 in the wet , actually broke his maiden on a muddy track..but both wins in his 2-year-old year, and both at very low speed numbers. That track is in tip top shape always and drains very quick. I just got back home, and have not seen any races at Churchill. We review the results and watch some races coming up, see if there is any bias developing. HAHA..feel it is my duty to introduce my nephews to all the vices me and their Dad so enjoyed together. .boozing and tailgating...check Handicapping..................check How to play crap.............check Scalping...........................check Have a feeling they would agree with you on the degenerate part though!!!

Now cmon..she is Married to Tom..do you really believe she can think logically or make good choices?

I know its early, but he #10 My Boy Jack is now 2nd choice at 5-1, from a morning line of 30-1. Hmm, be interesting to see where it goes. I like him a poop ton more at 30 BTW

That why they have twinspires.com...5 hours of betting from around the country!!!!!!! Anybody betting the Oaks today? I am playing golf this afternoon, so will not be able to see if weather affecting the races at all..if any bias develops etc. So if anyone is watching the card today and wants to post if a speed bias is evident due to the weather etc, sure be appreciated! Having said that , as of now just going with a small exacta of #9 and #10.#9 , Take Charge Paula.. @thebandit27likes Ortiz, this girl has won in the slop, seems is tractable to be either on the pace or a stalker..(which i like in the mud) ...and I love the trainer. Like the name too #10 Big Money Mike Smith on her..and man she looked unbeatable coming out of the Santa Anita Oaks..only question for me is the mud. Leaving the co favorite..#14 , Monomy girl out . Think the post and expected conditions get the best of her. I am throwing the 3 and 1 in some small exotics as well

well, I am 55, but not sure I would ever be called Responsible! Altough I do keep in line by wooping their behinds in beer pong! I truly only remember the one dude table slamming in your lot..before the Colts game. Maybe that's why I don't think this is a major issue..I just dont see it very often.

I skipped this thread until saw you were last post. I am always one who does not think there is an issue at Bills games, never have. Y'all know that. And i don't think it is an age only thing, think it is a dumb thing! Hammer you know the crew I came with is made up of a bunch of 20 somethings..and we have never had an issue. Now them boys like to have a few pops and play some drinking games, as do I, but never an incident. In terms taking a license/permit...how the hell you going to keep people from walking onto a lot?

Oh my. Legs and SVP just killed em post game too. Hate to see money down the pooper you and Common.

I will take a look! Thanks. Tips are always great. Gew years back there was a guy that posted a bit here but a ton in Sabrespace, screen name Ghost of Dwight Drane. GoDD for short. Not sure if he was a trainer, an assistant or something, but the dude definetly worked on the backstretch at some major track. He he would make picks on races throughout Prep season, but was especially adept at nailing turf races on the cards. Dude made me a ton of money following his picks. I was only ever only on Sabrespace to interact with him, and from what I gather think he was banned a while go , for what I don’t know. But I miss him in the spring. And yes, I have got to put a lot on Jack...Son, Eichel, Desotmeax, made money with him, closer, mudder.. WTH, too much there to not bet him!

I have been following the preps pretty close this year. I have made some decent money already on Jack, so feel like I do need to stick a bit with him. I do have bias towards the old MD jockeys that I use to love to watch quite a bit in my younger days blowing off work in the afternoon 3 days a week and playing the 9 races at Laurel! Desormeaux was one of the best I have ever seen. I assume he is up in the Derby as well, seeing as how his brother trains the damn horse!!! I have not handicapped the pace yet, but so many times the hot pace can really help a closer like Jack..add in it looks like a good chance we get a muddy track and he has won in the slop and bred for the slop..might not be a bad pick to at least put in the bottom half of your exotics. Bolt looks tough, but looked every bit 2nd best to Justify at the Sanita Anita..and makes sense to think Justify will only improve off that race. I just always have a tough time betting chalk, especially in this race, but we shall see!!! I have not looked at the card either day yet, but my other bias is ALWAYS, ALWAYS betting Graham Motion horses on the turf. Seems to work pretty well for me.
