CRAZY HORSE

You may find this funny...but...maybe not...it was senior citizens day out at Del Mar. ..you know, the races ...and what they offer is free admission and free seats to all of US seniors ...free is free...so I bought right in on the extravaganza... There is a gate for the senior's admission ...and get this, they figure if you are bold enough to pass through it, you must be one of them elders...they do it by looks...some offer their ID, and they say put it away...and off you go... Take two escalators up to the 3rd level...you may have to shove your way through those who are using canes and walking devices...I mean you have to get the best seats...clearly marked is the SENIOR SEATS , like, that away...from sections 12-18...and yup, there are a whole gaggle of whitesh and grayish haired peops all over those areas... I captured a couple of 'em, using my buddy is going to be late, and I'm saving it for him routine...no problem...and then it happened... This group of 7 ladi...

Well, I'm not sure I can be unbiased...as a former republican...I have this ideal that we are in this together...and, I have heard the same things bantered about every 4 years when the politicians are running for their office... jobs, taxes, medicare, social security, health insurance, abortion, legal marriage, and balancing the budget ...and they all say how they are going to change things...every 4 years...and does anything get changed?...outside of arming ourselves up for our many wars...no...this is just rhetoric...and if you believe in the "trickle down effect" of granting lower taxes for the rich...well, you do, don't you?...then you just may be buying into the latest version of the GOP...good luck... and, it seemed to me that Paul was just a little boy talking about big boy things...mostly just ripping the Prez, rather than giving concrete steps of "change" ...maybe daddy Mitt will have more substance.... OK, enough of that...until daddy Mitt talks...

I am not sure where this show is headed...maybe, just maybe, the time has run out...and may give way to Simon's X Factor... American Idol ...with the abandonment of the judges, they are in the process of finding others... Mariah , for sure...then?...it's so hard to say how they actually help and judge the young talent...rumors are that Nickey somebody and the country guy, Keith Urban... Vegas has inked Tim McGraw and Faith Hill for a six week gig...starts in December...and we are so there...it'll be a hot ticket for sure...at least for us...not sure what casino has them... There has been very little music that I have bought in the last 6 months...what is this all about?... Art Garfunkel is releasing his greatest hits...I have heard a bit of it, and it is so soothing...a huge talent... The GOP has to find a musical theme, right?...it's kind of hard to get a music group that is repub...well, Kid Rock , is in the fold...what does he have that would fit Mitt?... ...

The Pacific Coast Classic was everything that horse racing peops would want...the top three hosses in the mix...and I am telling you...the outstanding jockey, Joel Rosario , who has been trying the east coast tracks...came back and rode the winner...probably outmatched the Baffert/Sutherland combo...thrilling ride...and I hit it...a day of tough races to handicap... Dullahan gets the big bucks... The Padres swept the DBacks in the desert, and are on a 7 game winning streak...and now host the team that beat 'em up in Atlanta...and we finally have tix for tomorrow eve...I'm sure Marsh isn't too thrilled about it...but we go to the Omni Premier Club and have their fantastic buffet and watch the game from there... Quakes ...a bunch of 'em in the area...mostly over in the Palm Springs, Indio way...haven't felt them here...but...it must have, as our elevators were shut down for 3 hours yesterday... Did you know the Jets have yet to score a touchdown in the 3...

It's the million dollar race on the west coast, the Pacific Coast Classic ...the finest horses go at it today out at Del Mar . ..and yup, we'll be there...and we are part of a "white only" party...ha ha...imagine me...well, it's a wear white only thinger...to the race....there are 7 horses who could get it...really... odds on fav is Game On Dude, ridden by Chantel Sutherland ...who just happens to be the promo pix for the entire season...my choice just may be Dullahan, and...Richard's Kid... Adrian wasted no time in slipping on the Dodger uniform and playing with 'em... and in his first at bat, swatted a 3 run dinger...nice start...but...I am pulling against him...something still smells fishy... The Pads have now won 6 in a row ...hit 3 blasts and are just playing well...and are underdogs on the betting line again...no respect... Chase Headley is just killing, with 10 hr's for the month...no PED's here...well, we can only hope...we have ...
