and i'll take that one

They got our boy again. Bobby took the plunge for somewhere near a mil on a yearling filly by Medaglia d'Oro. I can almost hear the sweet whispers they hit him with about Courtly Dee and her pedigree. $1m for a daughter of Medaglia d'Oro? Ummm, yeah, I saw the Romans filly, man, but, geeze, it seems a bit much. Other than King of Rome, the mare hasn't had too much success. Unless, of course, you count the A.P. Indy colt that earned $90k back against his $550,000 yearling price. Tough, tough times. At least he'll get the depreciation, I guess.

You should challenge Bobby Flay to a special "Throwdown" picking horses.

You need to defend your unbeaten 1-0 record (after beating Megan in guacamole throwdown).

good idea. maybe i'll offer a straight-up swap next time i see him at monmouth: advice w/ horses in exchange for comped dinners at his joint in AC. mike will eat him out of business. "more king crab legs, bobby, and start bringing 'em out by the bucket-load."
