Give Danzing Tribal Another Shot in Race 7 at Hollywood Park Tonight
Night racing at Hollywood Park. You've got to love it. The last time Danzing Tribal ran, he pulled up and walked off of the turf. This after being bet down to 2 to 1 favoritism.
Well, he's back and with a weight advantage as he gets jockey Alex Gonzalez to jump onto him. I like his chances tonight. So much so, that he's my Pick of the Day.
I'm also using him in a Pick 3 that comes out to $36.

What??? Yes! I'm Picking the Celtics!
I'm a die-hard L.A. Lakers' fan. No, seriously. Ask my wife. I do love the Lakers. I love Kobe. I love Phil. I love everythign about this wonderful city of Los Angeles, but I can't pick the Lakers to beat the Celtics tonight in Game 7.
Why? Because there's just no value in it. L.A. is awesome, but they're huge, massive, incredible favorites in tonight's game.
The betting odds on Boston are +270 on the moneyline. I have to take that bet.
I just have to.

Hollywood Race 7 Pick For 6/17/2010
Bob Baffert's Rapport will try to win first time against winners in Hollywood's 7th race today. Rapport could be any sort and even if horse racing fans aren't looking to bet this race, they should tune in to see how he does.
Of course, I'll be betting against Rapport today, or, at least, using another horse to counter Baffert's charge.

Gulf Oil Spill is a Watershed Moment
The Gulf Oil Spill, I'm capitalizing the words for a reason, is a watershed moment in U.S. History. Oh, I know. That phrase has been bandied about before, but this time, this time, it's true.
You see, the problem isn't whether or not deep sea drilling should be allowed or whether or not BP should pay for the clean-up and put money into the pockets of the working families affected. The problem is that we as a nation are already debating these things when the most important goal hasn't been realized.
Oil is still spilling into the Gulf of Mexico. By the thousands upon thousands. By the thousands upon thousands of gallons each and every second.
The ramifications of this are extreme. Extreme enough, I believe, to signal the end of the American Economic Empire. Every empire in the history of the world has fallen. Our's has been due to fall for a while. Now, I'm convinced that it is on its way to falling. Oh, we'll still have a say, but our ability to truly change the world will be greatly diminished.
I'm not saying it's gong to happen overnight. I'm just saying that the Gulf Oil Spill is the sign. It's the one great sign because we have no idea what to do and we have never, ever, as a nation, been in that position.
At least we had a response to the Great Depression. At least we had a response to 9/11. But this? We have no response for this because...there isn't one. There is no enemy here except for our own outdated and ridiculous notion that everything in the nation will always stay the same, that the standard of living, which, hate to break it to you, has always been a mirage, will stay the same. That we can continually pump billions of gallons of oil out of the Earth and somehow, someway, it's always going to be hunky-dory and a-okay. We're like Ned Flanders from The Simpsons, except our mighty god has always been the "dollar, dollar bill y'all!" Our mighty god has led us to cut corners and forget about the basic tenet of life, that all things are connected, somehow, someway...
Well, it looks like that's all about to change. The Age of A-Okay is over. There's just no way a nation like the United States, given our current economic condition, can recover from this insane mess because our very ideology, who we are, will prevent us from doing so. We won't allow ourselves to admit that, "You know what? Maybe, we should change who we are!"
So, as Governor Jindal screams at the Obama Administration and the Obama Administration screams at BP and BP screams at...well, life, I suppose...the oil will keep flowing and out of work families will keep struggling and the American way of life will eventually become...oh, damn...just life.
For a lot of us switching from eating fresh salmon to farm raised catfish might do the trick. But for a lot of us, this change is going to be a real kick in the ass.
A real, big, kick in the ass. Hey, that's life, right? All empires fall.
We just received, and are receiving, the sign that ours is about to.

Fly Down the One to Beat in the 2010 Belmont Stakes
Nick Zito will win the Belmont Stakes again. The two time winner hoist the coveted Test of Champions trophy once again on Saturday but it won't be because of morning line favorite, Ice Box.
It will be because of Fly Down. The son of Mineshaft has the requisite turn of foot in order to blow away the Belmont Stakes field. Ice Box? The horse always finds trouble and I believe he finds trouble again on Saturday. He'll come on but it will be too late. First Dude? He has to be tired after that Preakness run.
I'm predicting that Game On Dude and First Dude go out for the lead, Interactif lies about 2 to 3 lengths behind. Behind Interactif will be Fly Down. As they turn for home, Interactif will take the lead while Game On Dude and First Dude will fall back to the pack.
At that point, Fly Down will kick it into gear to run past Interactif. Ice Box will run on for 2nd while Interactif will hang on for third.
Make sure to play the Pick 4 as the pool is $1 million bucks! Good luck on Belmont Stakes Day!
