... has races 1,2,3,5,8,9,10 and 11 from Saratoga available for free. That's not counting the Todd Pletcher link, that's just 'Darley Owned Runners' and 'Street Cry,' both sublinks of the Darley link (superlink?).

Now, I'm not whining, I'm just in my RFK see-how-things-are-not-and-wonder-why-not mode. I'm wondering why these races, or rather these kinds of races are never used for the PA Downs contest. I'm not being flamboyant; I gave up on the contest long ago (easy to do with forgettable tracks and weird post times). I'm just throwing it out there.

To the best of my knowledge, races used in the contest need to be on tracks offered by Premier Turf Club (one of the sponsors).

I only played ONCE (the 2nd turf race at Colonial) for the reasons you gave.

Okay. I wasn't fishing for that, but I'm glad to know that. Am I the only one who didn't know ? :confused:

We took an informal poll. Actually there are 3 others that were unaware also. :p

That's what the cardinals did in 1979(?) --- they took a Pole.

Okay, let's handicap toetoe's poser together.

Perfectly clear, actually, when you consider the similar standard construction, ambiguity. If that's still unclear (understand, I'm not giving away the definition--not yet, anyway), think of ambidextrous, which means being equally skillful with both hands. From that we can easily deduce that ambiguity denotes having two--possibly opposite--meanings. Ergo, toetoe's coinage, which substitutes the morpheme poli-, a variant of poly- (as in polychrome, polygamy, polyglot, polygon, polymath, polyphony, etc.) for ambi-, would mean having many, diverse meanings.

That wasn't so hard, was it? The irony is that toetoe, by turns inventive and conciliatory, gets rebuffed for being unclear about his lack of clarity. :ThmbDown:

Full marks, Tom, for at least having the intellectual curiosity to look it up. :ThmbUp: :) I admit, I looked it up, too; it just looked so d@mned plausible!

It sat there like a a picture hung askew and I assumed its plausibility as well though couldn't help myself from playing gumshoe, sniffed around and drew a conclusion that he meant to type plaguily; (look it up), and chuckled at 2toes intended notion.

Lack of intellectual curiosity is what makes people real old -- real fast. Odd in a way anyone who plays this game and postures with a finality to their sphere of knowledge.

Hear, hear, Mack. I never would have thought of plaguily, because its adverbial shape would appear to disqualify it from consideration as anything toetoe might have intended; poliguity, though plucked from the kind of rarefied air breathed only by those who share toetoe's ardor for language, looks like an abstract noun.

Thanks, Mack, for getting me to look up plaguily.

plaŽ-gui-ly: adv. annoyingly, disagreeably

Such a breath of fresh, your posts, falc.

In many cases the fear of not knowing something stymies the small effort of finding out something about the thing one knew nothing about - or something like that.

I trust you'll soon be back at your pedagoguery though ask if I might throw your hat into the ring to write the press release for the impending effort?

Hey, after all that work, I'm using it as word from now on.
It is the act of not having poly installed in California by the end of the year.

I submit His Ridgeness is also a demagogue, thereby qualifying for status as a poligogue. :D (I found this word in the Spiegel's Catagogue.)

Now, don't settle for less than two *n*s and a soft *s*. MOAN-NA LEEZA (as in Miss Gibbons :eek: ), with the slightest pause between *n*s.

That smile --- was she expecting Tom Hanks ? :D :eek:

I saw Fredricka this morning, and Senator, she's no Fredricka.

Addendum (or collophon, or palimpsest, er sump'm): sorry about the "demagogue" crack. I couldn't think of any other "-gogue" words.

Somewhat sincerely,

MOAN-NA LEEZA (as in Miss Gibbons :eek: ),
Years ago, when I had my SAG card, I attended the Oscars and bumped into Leeeeeza and felt compelled to tell her that I enjoyed her work on ET (cue music) :liar: & with all the talk of the legs of Mary Hart in my humble yet with Troy Donahue good looks opinion said I thought her legs made Mare's look pedestrian. The whole routine rendered a kiss on the cheek. Nice gal, stiff dancer.

As I recall it was the same night I ran into Bruce "The Boss" Springsteen and mentioned that I thought the nominated song for Philadelphia could have had a bit more pep & zing :lol:

His Ridgeness " ... Senator, she's no Fredricka."

Thanks for the high-tone appellation, toe, but whenever I'm leering at Fredricka--um, I mean, viewing the CNN updates on weekend mornings--it's His Ridgidness (Ridgidity?), if you please. :liar: ;) :blush:

Yes, yeronner, there's no denying that leggy Leeza--along with legions of others--lags leagues below Lady F.
