Toetoe After Dark

[toetoe]

I warn ye, fellow t-bred lubber. Once you go dark side, ye may ne'er go back. Tonight at Northfield, after watching a $17.80 horse I loved win as I missed the exactor (of COURSE), I scored a nice, albeit light, triactor. $60.30 for one !!! :jump: :jump: My mentor Melman (must be a Ray Walston sit-com in there somewhere) must be bursting his britches. Sorry, but any news of a sixty-bucker in my life just can't stay in Vegas. Also stand to win big if the Woyers miraculously vanquish the ornery Mavericks. Cuban and Nelson are kinda like Trumpstah and Rotund Rosie. Hoodayalike, or more precisely, hookenyastand? :D

[melman]

So you were a real "Profiler" at Northfield uh? Super price on that and the Lagg Ness Monster a few races later. Toeman at "the flying turns" (whatever that means) look for an excuse to use the 9 horse for some insane reason a lot of people seem to think that is a bad post. :jump: You can start a new cable show "Toetoe After Dark". Ouch that's almost as scary as picking a loser between The Donald and Rotund Rosie.

I can understand YOU, Mel, following the jugheads at the Home of the Flying Turns (the scene of Maltese Artist's 1:49 4/5 monster mile in Saturday night's Battle of Lake Erie). After all, you're but a stateline removed, and what else would a North Welshman do if he weren't mining a Northfield? But Stubby--you gots some 'splainin' t'do! I might have known that, to find a pony player as desperate and degenerate as mine host, I need look no further than my fellow No-Cal no 'count. (Whenever my wife calls out, "Hey, wutcha doin' at your computer?" I tell her I'm catching up on emails, and then describe the missives I've just posted to the provost at Cambridge or to Senator Kefauver.)

In the interests of full disclosure--and knowing that my wife doesn't read my PA posts either--let me admit that I, too, had a few on Profiler Mindale. That made it two straight scores for the undersigned, with Jody Jamieson's well-timed move on Seeingisbelieving, a 10-year-old sidewheeling back-classer, having put me in the black a few minutes earlier at Woodbine.

Now for the woeful part of my tale: I followed the Profiler Mindale stake with an escalated wager on Powerful Cam--which, after a three-wide move down the backside and on the final bend of what announcer Greg Young calls "the payoff half," flew off the flying turn only to land but a head short of the thoroughly spent pacesetter, Dignity's Triumph (B-o-o-o-ring!--Troy, that is). Then, my better half flushed me out of my lair to perform a fool's errand ("Yobo! Let Katie [the silky terrier bitch that has the run of the Falconridge estate] out; she has to poop"). That made me miss the upward drift in odds on Laag Ness Monster, a critter that had always paced kindly for me, and with which I would have hedged my rashly registered wager on the Tony Rose-driven 40-1 shot, Mostly Magic. As you know, MM brushed four and FIVE wide ("Don't try this at home, kids," cautioned the irrepressible Greg Young) on the backside and final turn, made like Pegasus through the short stretch, but missed by two noses as LNM sneaked through in the passing lane to prevail by a flared grey nostril--at 7.50 to one.:mad: :bang:

By the way, my favorite pacer, Ron Jeremy, was in action again on Saturday night. I never miss his Northfield races, as, even when the altered son of Better Than Sex isn't in top form, Greg Young certainly is. At various points of RJ's ho-hum (sixth-place) tour of the northern Ohio half-miler, Young had him "picking up the slack," mounting a "stiff backside brush," and "trying to stick it out" while "uh ... h-u-n-g"--before he "shot his wad" and "petered out.":lol: A lovable lug, GY!

Falconridge: Do me a big favor and post more often will ya? It's always a fun read when you post. Two of my favorite names for the s-breds, G-String Jenna who raced at Dover where the race call would say "she's letting it all hangout tonight" and her "bridle is very skimpy looking tonight". Over at Freehold one Mr Larry Lederman has a ton of fun with the pacer "A Firm Woody" you can put in your own comments for that one. :jump:

[toetoe]

Don't call me Stubby, 'kay? Just cuz I love to cry at weddings and to cause shenanigans ... :rolleyes:

Ah, Ron Jeremy. Was he with the single shaft tonight, or what? Just exactly how does he roll? As to Jenna, her payoff half happens to be far north of the G-string. Sometimes she flops, but kidney sweat notwithstanding, my hopple springeth eternal. DOYNG!

F'ridge, when your wife suspects you're horseracing, just pretend you're looking at something respectable. It's all about the porno, baby. :D And don't blame the dog for your horses' woes. I don't blame the greyhounds when Gene Vallandingham burns my dough with a trip on the three-wide treadmill to nowhere (coinage by Mark Chaplin, genius harness and baseball handycrapper.)

Melm, I did have that 9-hole. He middle my exactor, thereby giving me the tri.

That's all the 'spleenin' I got to vent, Lucy.

[toetoe]

Meant to say I don't blame the standardbearers when my greyhounds lose sight of the silly rabbit.

$150 more on Friday, then a big loss of $16 in the Mr. Muscleman heat Sunday. I rooted for the wrong horse, and he got second. :bang: You mean the screaming at monitors has no effect? :D

Friday, I had three zactors in a row --- $119, $9( :sleeping: ) and $60. :jump:

Yobo!

A term of endearment? (Not the dictionary definition, I hope.)

[falconridge]

A term of endearment? (Not the dictionary definition, I hope.)That's right--a Korean vocative used by married couples to address one another. How could yobbo (if that's what you had in mind), a variant of the British slang term yob (one meaning of which is "lout"), have anything to do with li'l ol' me? :rolleyes:

[melman]

Maybe this thread title should be changed to "Toetoe on a Roll". Keep this up Toeman and you will risk be called "Jughead" :) With the VLT cash rolling in at Yonkers they have some better horses to bet on. I see a "live" one in R8 the 4 "I Am Sportacus". Hey I know u are a big sport Toe. :jump:

This is the definition I had in mind:

[toetoe]

falc,

See your vocative and raise you two enclitics.

[falconridge]

See your vocative and raise you two enclitics.How absolutely ablative of you! That having been said, I'll see your enclitics and raise you (on our first dative, no less!) a copulative and a cum clause. :kiss:

sollicitor nullos esse putare deos." (Amores, III, 9, 35)

A few observations:

Your Gall is divided into three parts, on the whole, yet unmitigated nevertheless.

I rate GenitiveTech as a must-buy stock.

Lost $50 at Big M. on Friday night. LOO-zah !! :(

[toetoe]

Coldhearted Revenge was my best of the night, but when GB tapped him, CR broke like a cheap watch. What with the rotten beat and the rain, I packed it in, forgetting Hippity Hop two races later. :bang: Nice second at 14/1.
