So this would be nothing new to him.<br /><br />That said, I'm against Eightyfiveinafifty running in The Derby. He's been playing catch up all spring thanks to Mr. Migliore<br />and I'm not at all sure 1 1/4 miles would be best for his career given the major early pace types signed up for the event.<br /><br />Here's hoping cooler heads will prevails.The_Knight_Skyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13497100877439699363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8420729300769326017.post-7164594368056658962010-04-21T21:59:35.569-04:002010-04-21T21:59:35.569-04:00I don't get why ANYONE would want run the week...I don't get why ANYONE would want run the week before the Derby to get into the Derby, especially 85ina50, who would have absolutely zero shot going 10 furlongsErniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15358435623103470025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8420729300769326017.post-15878447748453720512010-04-21T21:29:19.760-04:002010-04-21T21:29:19.760-04:00LOL. Truly LOL !!
You know I have been a fan of ...LOL. Truly LOL !!<br /><br />You know I have been a fan of <b>Eightfiveinafifty</b> but I would have never associated that with an Eagles video. Guess I'm living in a <i>Life of Illusion</i>.<br /><br />But what an album from 1977!<br />And what a summer that was. I have loved Henley and the boys for the longest time.<br /><br /><i>Eager for action and hot for the game<br />The coming attraction, the drop of a name<br />They knew all the right people, they took all the right pills<br />They threw outrageous parties, they paid heavenly bills. </i><br /><br />BTW. I hope you didn't give Jim Kelly "da business" the way "number 99 on the defense" of the Jets once did. (Actually it was 93 Marty Lyons, so Ben Dreith should have gotten 5 yards right there. ;-)The_Knight_Skyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13497100877439699363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8420729300769326017.post-64781433393864866812010-04-21T08:23:38.141-04:002010-04-21T08:23:38.141-04:00Going dark before the Derby, Spaceman?

The purse is 200,000 ADDED, so it's possible that the purse could be $225,000 or something.<br /><br />Also, the winner gets 62%, not 60% of the purse.<br /><br />Here is the condition book for Churchill.
