  1. Soft boiled eggs with toast and crispy bacon...Black pepper the eggs, tear the toast and bacon up and put into the eggs. Eat with a spoon.
  2. Silver. But now it’s cashmere white or some such shit after I we got the new one today. She said she didn’t need anything fancy, but it needed to have leather and seat heaters. I explained to her that these items generally throw any vehicle into the top level trim of most cars. She was unaware of this. And what’s the deal with women and seat heaters inTexas where it’s 90+ 9 months of the year.
  3. Maybe so, she was sitting at a window and the car was no more than 25 ft away when she asked
  4. Wife is wanting a new car. So, we were talking about what she wanted and I asked her what color she preferred .. her response was “I don’t know, what color do I have now?”
  5. And Baffert isn’t the most impartial person in this, considering the owner of Maximum Security (Gary west). Is also one of Bafferts big owners as well..West also owns Game Winner, Bob knows where his bread is buttered .. Shug McGaughey, the long-time Phipps trainer and winner of the 2013 Derby with Orb, told the Washington Post, “”When I saw the pictures last night, I have to agree the stewards made the right call.” Mark Casse, whose mount War of Will narrowly avoided a catastrophic collision with Maximum Security, also told the Washington Post, “That controversy yesterday was nothing next to the controversy that would have happened had our horse fallen.” And Todd Pletcher, who has won two Derbys and seven Eclipse Awards, told Newsday, “It was a call you have to make. I think it sends a great message for the integrity of the sport at a time when we've been under fire.”
  6. 20 was not the only objection either---Long Range Toddy(Who was severely comprised as well as the 1)---all the blame went on Mott because he was interviewed-(and it was his jock that made the obj not Mott-once the jock claims obj-he notifies the outrider before ever speaking to trainer) there is no way to take it back)-The #1 should have objected but did not since he would have gained nothing(I would argue they were wrong as they should protect the integrity of the field-kind of like golfers.. Regardless, if I had money on either outcome I might have a different opinion(unfortunately I did not have the 20 anywhere in top 2)...At the end of the day ---Mott has been a world class trainer for many years with a pretty clean record and is know as one of the most "ethical" trainers out there..Jason Servis on the other hand is not known that way and I will leave it at that...
  7. I probably watch more horse racing than 99.9999 % of the board. That horse comes down everyday for the same infraction at 85% of tracks across the US. The real question is does the enormity of the race change the basic rules of the sport..(should the refs let more stuff go in the 4thquarter vs the 1st). I see both sides and was shocked the horse came down but it was definitely a foul and did cost WOW a placing or 5. By the rules of the sport the 7 is put behind WOW. Billy Mott and Pratt did nothing wrong and there will be no negative repercussions long term for either of them. Did their horse really win the derby(no). But they sure shit ain’t turning the $$ down nor should they or would you. Horse racing is dirty business(hell maybe worse than poker) ..this decision (whether you agree with or not it was the most ethical decision I have seen in a longtime in horse racing) the easy route would have been to disallow the foul and move on...no one would have heard a peep...
  8. But if you can get those exotics with longer shots. It should be ok
  9. If I had to pick a tri without concern about odds. This is very close. Just don’t think it will pay
  10. I think he is on the improve. But I don’t know if he gets the distance. I like him ok but don’t love him. He was a b horse my betting partner likes him much more than me but I do think the pace will set up for him. We are trying to hit some big numbers so we are pretty scattered I would not be surprised by any of about 12 horses to win
  11. Bets are in. Playing supers and tris
  12. And Omaha is scratched. Right now I’m on Improbable and maximum security (who will win by 5 or finish well up the track )
  13. Onboard. I am in the business of water remediation I will shoot you a pm
  14. The only thing is not enough computer science background for him---his school does not offer a great program in this area, but he has taken everything the school offers and like I said the kid 2 spots behind him got in with the same classes and essentially the same grades. Its not the end of the world --UT Dallas is offering him a good chunk of change and a smaller school might be better for him. I would have liked to see him at UT Austin but wasn't meant to be for him. MY daughter will be a senior at UT next year and would have been nice to have her there to help guide him.
  15. he never made less than a 98 in any math classes and has been in AP math(calculus, etc)--for his whole time in high school.
  16. Its a public school, one of his best friends who actually got admitted to Comp Sci was # 5 in his class(2 spots behind) but had an SAT score 5 pts better with the same extracurricular activities as my son. This kid is also a first generation American so I am not sure whether that played a role or not but their applications were damn near identical.
  17. Well I wish you were correct but unfortunately he did not get into computer science at UT Austin. He did get about 20000 in scholarships per year from UT Dallas. So that looks to be his destination
  18. From the mayors daughter inAnimal House to Caddyshack
