OK, let's keep it simple. No long explanation for why you'll want to bet this particular horse in the Preakness race coming up Saturday - just the facts, mam! So, go ahead and bet whatever might be left of your farm on - "Dance City". A very fast horse with great looking ears - kinda like my Chili Dog's (see photo)! Plain and simple. This one was so easy to pick!*

Stuff Happens - Dialed In Sorta Dialed Out!
There was a slight glitch in my pick (Dialed In) to win the Kentucky Derby. My horse just couldn't run fast enough to beat the other horses. I'm sure glad I added a caveat to my blog post, prior to the running of the race. You saw it, didn't you? At least I think I made the posting of the disclaimer? As you probably know, I'm getting a little bit old, and at times forgetful. Oh well, anyway... as you may recall, I believe I did make the following statement sometime last week: "if the other horses run faster than my horse, the outcome of the race could be considerably different from my original prediction". Hopefully you paid attention to that warning, before you bet the farm on Dialed In. As mentioned in the title of today's post: Stuff Happens - Dialed In Sorta Dialed Out!
As a matter of fact, I found this year's race to be very difficult to choose a favorite, because there was no standout horse in the field. Even Uncle Mo, who was scratched one day before the race, was not a sure thing, as he had a less than stellar race just a few weeks before the Derby. As a result, this Derby provided one of the several unproven horses a chance to shine. And that is just what happened! Animal Kingdom ran a great race, but you couldn't readily ascertain the likelihood of that happening from his past performance.
Not to worry! We'll get back on track (no pun intended) - with our winning way - by picking the winner of the next leg of the Triple Crown. We'll just use the Charlie Sheen approach - WINNING!!! So... stay tuned for my next big pick and don't worry if you lost your Derby bet. We'll get it all back and more when they run the Preakness. I'm almost pretty sure of it. WINNING!
