Picking winners at Belmont

I love thinking about all the horseplayers totally geeking out over the BC advanced PPs. All of the spreadsheets, calculations, home grown figs and wacky stats warm my heart. I was unsuccessfully chasing the various Pick 6 carryovers from Sunday to Wednesday so I gave myself a few days off to be fresh for the task. I’m a procrastinator at heart, most of my uncharacteristic cleaning spells are the direct product of procrastination. This morning I was even thinking of rearranging my room!

I suppose I’m postponing starting the long glorious journey through 141 horses lifetime past performances in part because I don’t want it to be over. I have to remind myself that it’s not like other sports where after the big finale there are no more games until the next season.

I’ve been putting off so many things and conveniently saying “I’ll do it after the BC” but now that I’ve been putting off handicapping I’ve gotten a number of things done! I was an errand running machine after work and have finally gotten around to upgrading a number of gadgets (cellphone, point and shoot digital camera… risky during mercury retrograde, I know). Of course, both of those were really related to the BC, potential blogging from the BC on the new PDA and a few shots here and there with the new camera.

I’ve been busy at work, but an enjoyable and relaxed busy… however, i can’t blog from work and I can’t spend too much time keeping up on news/blogs. A couple of items from my new esteemed colleagues yesterday kept me chuckling all day… I got a fantastic and hilarious drunk warm welcome from suebroux at Post Parade and Superfecta has a chuckle worthy and spot on post about our favorite snake charmer.

I decided not the play the New York Showcase, which I found about from Jeff @ the Chalk… NYRA’s lack of marketing never ceases to amaze me. I knew about the Maryland Millions the week before! I left my standard issue NYRA/marketing rant comment. The only thing I really have to do tomorrow is take the only canine resident of the Home Zoo in a for a follow-up visit, but the vet is literally right downstairs. Other than that, I will be down the handicapping rabbit hole, but no doubt popping out now and again for a procrastination post here and there.

Hope you’re having fun!!
