Bobtail comparing age to intelligent quotient:
"Several times over the past few years in my somewhat rare visits to Dell's message boards, I have made reference to a young man in the Erie PA area who is an absolute whiz at handicapping. He always makes his derby pick in March and to date his pick has never missed the board - and that includes Invisible Ink who ran 2nd at 55/1. Last march I again visited this board (For the first time here rather than at the BH) and posted that the kid's pick this year was Giacomo. I consider myself a "good" recreational handicapper and my ego precluded me from using Giacomo on any of my tickets - which just goes to prove that the older you get, the dumber you get."

Warren showing us how it’s done:
"I hit the Rainbow6 today! These consolation payoffs have been really nice with 400k or so a day being thrown into the bet. I throw $10-20 a day into it, and I have fun. Hit 5 of 6 a few times but this is the first winner in 2 years and it now stands as the most I have won on a wager, in 41 years."

Jolyb displaying the talent of UIC members:
"Congratulations to JolyB for a gritty win in the Hastings Survivor Contest.
He managed to pick the most winners, and for doing so, got a nice payoff.
Well done, sir!"

Paseana giving the board a laugh:
"You Want Me To Do What?"
"There actually is a horse running out there on some circuit that has that name....words all run together. But in the second race at Hollywood Park today, there was a filly that said exactly that...and it was hysterical!
I wish I knew how to post a video of the head-on at the break. Her gate clearly opened without incident, and she just stood there. I think they may have had to lead her out."

I'm telling you why
Javier Castellano is coming to town
I'm making a list
Cause this is my vice;
I'm gonna find out if I can find a good price
Javier Castellano is coming to town

De Niro, on priorities:
"OK, the Triple Crown has mercifully come to an end, so it's time to lighten up a tad. :>))
Here's an oldie but a goody:
Richie is walking to the track entrance from the parking lot. Just before he gets to the turnstile, he sees Joe, a degenerate racing buddy, waiting at the gate.
Richie: 'Hey, Joe.'
Joe: 'Richie! I'm so glad to see you, man. I've got an emergency. My wife is in the hospital and needs an operation right away. I need $500 real quick!'
Richie: 'C'mon Joe. You know if I give you the five hundred you're just gonna go right in and blow it on the Daily Double'.
Joe shakes his head and says, 'Oh, I've got my GAMBLING money'."

Propro smiling big! 11 years ago last week
"Mrs. Propro and myself have added our first child to our family. Ryan George was born on 2/26 at 8:49pm. He's 6lbs 11oz and 20 1/4". He had to spend his first 2 nights in the NICU to get his blood sugar level up, but he was released tonight to the nursery. I'm told it's one of those side effects of gestational diabetes. All is well for both Ryan and my wife and they'll both be coming home on Friday. Let the fun begin. "

Elks reply to “old farts”
Re: Back in the day
"Pimlico, 1st race $8 Exacta 5-7, $5 win 5, $20 place 7"
Get in the Exacta line, and buy four $2 5-7 tickets
Get a beer
Get in the $5 Win line, and buy a $5 win ticket on 5
Get a beer
Get in the $20 Place line, and buy one $20 punch on the 7.
Go to bathroom
Get another beer because you missed the race
Chug the beer because you have to get to Delaware Park.
"Delaware, 8th race, $20 win 11"
Get in car, decide you are to drunk to drive and get a cab instead.
Tell cab to take you to Delaware park.
Get to Delaware park and get a beer.
Get a few more beers and wait until the 7th is over so you can bet the 8th.
Get in the $20 win line, and take one ticket on the 11.
Get a beer, and watch the race.
