Excerpt:

I had a dream last night. Clear as could be. I saw the entire year in horse racing, every big race, every big story and every crazy development. I am sure every bit of it will happen. I have done this before. Dreamt that Avatar would win the 1975 Belmont, the 7 would win the 11th race at Beulah Park on April 6, 1998 (you can look it up) and that The Undertaker would beat Superfly Jimmy Snuka in Wrestlemania VII. Do not doubt my powers.


A look at what will happen in horse racing in 2010:

January: The Eclipse Award ceremonies are marred by a violent demonstration by the American Plastics Council, a trade association for the U.S. plastics industry. Angry protestors hurl profanities and clods of polypropylenes at Jess Jackson.

I had a dream last night that fans in the Mid-Atlantic regions could watch and bet any track in the county.
