another blurry view of the 901 shows how fast this thing is growing as the beginnings of the vining stage is already taking place. will it stay as one or split to 2, or have 2 fused vines...your guess is as good as mine. lol. after the heavy rains usually comes slugs, so i am going out right now to circle all sprouts with sluggo. after that it is time to go pony up baby. it's derby time and i love throwing away a days pay once a year at a chance to go back into the OTB later in the day and proudly collect some scratch. Smarty Jones was my last good winner and eventhough it was the favorite, i put a hundo on it to win and had a nice payoff.
here is the shazzy shazanova betting line up for the derby. first of all, i put 5 bucks on the 4 horse every year cuz of the movie LET IT RIDE with richard dryfuss, terri garr, and david johanson and one of my all time favorite comedies. there is a line in the movie where the character "Cheesburger" says to Trotter (richard dryfuss)
"The 4 horse Trotter? The 4 horse is a joke. They put little kids on the 4 horse to have their pictures taken."
maybe i should have listened to "Cheesburger" cuz unlike Trotter, the 4 horse has never paid off for me when i bet it on derby day. but it is tradition and you can't 'f' with tradition. here is the rest of my betting line up. 1-11-20 $5 boxed triffecta. $20 on one of the long shots 50-1 "Dean's Kitten", the 8 horse. $20 on both other long shots at 50-1 the 9 horse "Make Music for Me" to show and $20 on "Back Talk" to show. and i gotta bet on the only lady in the field "Devil My Care" for 20 bucks to win.
and i am off!!!!!!!
