Swifty calls me 10 minutes before the Blue Grass:

Swifty: “Who do you like?”

Me: “Big Truck, Monba and Halo Najib”

Swifty: “Really?”

Me: “Yeah, I’m going with the theory Pyro doesn’t have to win. Who do you like?”

Swifty: “Cowboy Cal”

Me: “Yeah, I think he’s interesting but I think he’s entered to ensure a good pace for Monba, who I’m expecting to do well. Look at their last work together. Monba did better.”

Swifty: “Interesting, I wasn’t considering Monba at all but you’re right.”

10 minutes later I call Swifty…

Swifty: “Yep!”

Me: “I’m an idiot…”
