    Day Three Men Adolfo Daniel Vallejo (vs Norrie) 2.4 to win 2. Fun fact... Adolfo has never lost a match in the French Open. Garin (vs Tien) 2 to win 2.6 Baez/Burruchaga Over 36.5 3.6 to win 3. Ok, some interesting info re: Baez's recent history at Roland Garros. His last 5 matches (and this...

    Day 2, it was the men who let me down. Wow. Of course, Buse had won 18 games and was serving, up 5-2 in the 4th set. And he promptly dropped the last 5 games. 4-7, -5.6

    "Barry" was a really good show. I would say he sounds like a shoo-in for the next Attorney General, but I don't want your tennis thread getting sent to the Political Forum.

    Men Dzumhur (vs ADF) to win a set 2.5 to win 2 Ruiz/Tirante Over 37.5 2.5 to win 2 Droguet (vs Mensik) 2 to win 3.7. Only the 2nd time the Frenchman has made it into the main draw of a Grand Slam. The other time was 2023 at the US Open. He beat Musetti before losing to a young qualifier who...

    Trump sues IRS, Treasury for $10 billion over tax returns leak

    Related side note... how many times did he say he would release his returns but, gosh darnit, he just couldn't while he was under audit. Which was bullshit to begin with. But I'm guessing they're not auditing his returns any more.

    It's truly sad how they have no principles whatsoever. Whatever donny says is their truth. But this is what happens when you have guys like agc, who really, really believe Democrats are evil. Imagine how warped your brain has to be. But it's how they justify everything they do.

    Ok, now how to bet it? This is gonna be an expensive mess. I'll start with a WP on the 15. Just love the upside of this horse. I'll also key the 15 in a boxed exacta with 1,3,10,12,14,17,21. Then, in case the 15 gets caught in traffic, a smaller boxed exacta with 1,3,10,12,14,17,21 (c'mon...

    Alright, my thoughts on the horses that I think have a chance to hit the board, and a few others. Renegade(1) - see above. Intrepido(3) - 50-1 is kinda ridiculous for this horse. I love his pattern. It's basically identical to a couple bombs (Mine That Bird, Commanding Curve) in recent years...

    Yup. The 5, 9, 13, 20, and 24 are all out. They've run out of AEs and a tiny field of 19 are scheduled to run. And, last I saw, the weather was perfect for a horse race. High 50's (I didn't say it was perfect for the spectators). I saw notes on the first two scratches a few days ago, but...

    11th Race, Turf Classic Nothing too great here. I like the 6 Rhetorical, at 5-2. Gonna use him in some tris. 6/5,7/1,2,5,7,10 The value here is not using the #9, who is the 2nd choice at 7-2.

    Moving on to Saturday. 9th race, American Turf The 4, Stark Contrast, is the most likely winner. ML is 4-1, and will probably drop. I'll bet him to Win all the way down to even money. I'm going to play some tris. 4/5 (first time turf, his dam and all 3 of her offspring who have raced ran...

    Holy shit, my 3 "mostly underneath" runners have all taken some action. Always a Runner is down to 4-1. Prom Queen is 5-1. And Lovely Grey... *double checks*... is down to 9-1. Holy shit. On one hand, I don't like her as much at that price, but that tells me she's really live.
