#1...we have the ponies running on saturday! It's Preakness 134. I had a caller on my radio show earlier today that really started to get me in to this. (thanks Wiggy) He was breaking it down left and right, and i was listening attentively the entire time because he nailed the longshot in the Derby! yep. He said take the 1-2-3 trifecta. As for me, i dont like taking the faves and i dont like taking the really long shots...so one of the middle odds and right in the middle of the pack is one that i've read good things about...lets go with NUMBER 8...GENERAL QUARTERS to win at 20 to 1 odds. (I wont do a trifecta)(owner and horse pictured)
#2...we have other racing...its NASCAR style...it starts tonight with the truck series. (yes...i do pay attention to it) I have checked out the practices and qualifying and such, but the website I get my odds on doesn't have them posted yet...but we'll go with the #33 truck RON HORNADAY, JR.
#3...more
NASCAR...its the ALL STAR EVENT! and before i give my perdiction on this, i have to brag about "my guy"...Jeff Burton...his pit crew won the pit crew challenge last night! Hopefully thats the start of good things for him this weekend. Now, that being said...I just cant bring myself to pick him. He'll be right up there like he has during practice. But because of the format of this thing which changes every year for some reason...ya gotta go with a name that may not be expected...last year it was kahne...this year, i'll go with RYAN NEWMAN...he's going to win at some point, and i think this is it.#4...lets get to BASEBALL...its a HUGE first place showdown under the arch in st. louis
with the brewers and redbirds. And being a Reds fan, I'm hoping that both teams lose, but of course that cant happen...i dont think it'll be a sweep for either side...so looking at the pitching matchups, even though the cards have a really good home record, I'm going to side with the Crew on this one and say they win yet another series 2 to 1.#5...the game SEVENS in the NBA playoffs...both the basketball and hockey have been tremendous this post season. Here we have a couple of elimination games and i'm really tossed up in what to do...call it how i WANT it to happen...(houston and orlando) or how it is expected to go with the home teams winning. I think i'll split it in half...i think the rockets will finally realize they dont have their two best players and end up tripping. In the other one, orlando should have this series won already. they're in a dangerous spot going into the house of the defending champs. and if they had KG, i'd have no doubt they'd win. but they DONT. so i WONT go with them. so we will have a NEW champion in the NBA...Dwight Howard is a beast and he's headed to the conf championship. so...i'll take THE LAKERS AND THE MAGIC to win the game 7s.
I'll be gone "on assignment" on monday...Sparks will be fillin in...but tune in tuesday and i'll be talking about how i did on these!
