Still here....kinda
Been a very long time since the last post. I guess the whole blogging thing is just blaise at this point. Anyway, the Phils are making a run at another World Series, the club is open and leagues start soon. Lots of newbies from Olympics are members and jumping in with both feet.
Still don't have much to write about. Maybe after the Phils win another world championship.

Summer doldrums
The weather is warming and the air is getting sticky. The slow pace of summer approaches. This means mowing the grass and not doing much else on the weekends. Trips here and there, Yankee games once in a while and summer curling club projects.
The Triple Crown ended with a fizzle. Did not bet the Belmont and saved money on that one as well. Horse racing seems to be in trouble all over the country. Just no excitement to the sport anymore.
The Phils are mired in a deep offense slump as the whole team has forgotten how to hit. The good thing is the rest of the division is playing .500 ball as well so they are still in the hunt. Lots of season left to get turned around and win the division.
Summer curling projects include sending our rocks to Canada for reconditioning. The Olympic push really helped to increase the club coffers and made this possible. Time to start working on building the painting tank for next season as well. Looks like ice making will start in late August again this year and that date is getting closer all the time.
Off to Canada again this summer for a relaxing time at Lake of the Woods. Time to catch up with friends up there and do a little fishing. Always fun.

This and that
Did not bet on the Preakness so saved a little money there. Would have bet the winner but not the second place horse. Might bet the Belmont as both the Derby and Preakness winners will not be running.
Back from the GNCC Spring meeting. Won the Bell Quoits trophy. Pretty cool as this competition started in 1868.
The Phils sweep the Brew Crew and move out to a good lead in the East with the Mets sinking fast toward the cellar.

Derby aftermath
Once again I should listen to myself. Super Saver was in the mix on Thursday, not on Friday and in and out on Saturday. Good thing Mrs. JH is smarter than me cause she had the exacta. Too many losing bets to make any money but did get back all that was bet with the one exacta.
Is there a triple crown this year? I don't think so at this point. Super Saver may win the Preakness but the Belmont is a long, long race and I don't think he can hang for the wire.
Will be interesting to see who runs the Preakness.

Friday Derby update
Okay, after a day of review here we go.
Most likely to win - Lookin at Lucky, Awesome Act, Mission Impazible
In the mix - Ice Box, Jackson Bend, Sidney's Candy
So those three will be on top or boxed in the exactas and trifectas. Heavy exacta on the top three and those three on top of a big tri. Can't bet them all.
Good luck to all those playing and see you at the winners window.

Thursday Derby update
Here is the only way to weed out 20 betting interests.
Who won't win
Noble's Promise, Line of David, American Lion, Dean's Kitten, Make Music for Me, Paddy O'Prado, Devil May Care, Mission Impazible, Discreetly Mine, Backtalk, Homeboykris, Sidney's Candy
That leaves 8 horses to figure out. Let's look at them by post order.
Lookin at Lucky - a bad post but a good horse and jockey, mostly a synthetic runner, might be in the mix, I am thinking not on the board.
Ice Box - a deep closer that will be last at some point and have to pass everyone, with a sloppy track do not think that will happen, in the mix for trifectas
Super Saver - a good post for Borel, will save ground, on the board in both off track runs, in the mix
Stately Victor - another strong closer. a lot of turf background, can't keep them all, not in the mix
Conveyance - the other Baffert horse which could be the one who wins,first grade 1 race, can he stay wire to wire or hang on for a spot, in the mix
Jackson Bend - consistant,lucky to get in, will show he belongs, my pick for the winner
Awesome Act - a stalker from Europe, in the mix
Dublin - D. Wayne Lukas, enough said, probably not in the mix
So the five to keep - Ice Box, Super Saver, Conveyance, Jackson Bend and Awesome Act.

Bad spots for Lookin at Lucky and Sidney's Candy. Pretty good spots for the rest of the speed. Looks like it will break down to a pretty fair race. Speed to the front but no one will steal it I don't think. So look for the raters and closers. Leaning toward that group right now. Time to read up on the past performances and weed out a few more horses.

Tuesday Derby update
So, Rule and Interactif most likely will not run. Devil May Care the filly will run, not entered in the Oaks. Jackson Bend and Back Talk are probably in. Add Back Talk to the throw out list.
Conveyance is coming off the throw list and back in for consideration. Not reading closely enough to realize this is a Baffert horse. I never bet against him. So that is one sure bet at this point - exacta box - Lookin at Lucky, Conveyance, Dublin. Dublin is the Lukas horse and I never bet against him as well. That would actually be a nice exacta if it hit especially the latter two.
Entries are made tomorrow and the field will be set. Here is the throwout winner for those that are following along - Sidney's Candy. Just don't like the synthetic runners.

Monday Derby update
Eskendereya out of the Derby which makes it more wide open and also opens the way for two interesting horses. Pletcher may run the filly Devil May Care who has the Beyer numbers to support a chance. Also (hopefully) opens the door for Jackson Bend who finished second to Eskendereya twice. Need one more drop out for him to get in if Devil runs.
So, where to start. The throwouts, which means one of these will probably win, one of the throwouts for last year, Mine That Bird.
Here is the list so far.
Noble's Promise - out
Rule - out
Conveyance - out
Interactif - out
Stately Victor - out
Dean's Kitten - out
Discreetly Mine - out
Homeboykris - out
Paddy O'Prado - out
More horses to eliminate as the week progresses.

One week to go
First Saturday in May, the Run for the Roses, the most exciting two minutes in sports, THE DERBY!! Who is looking good - Eskendereya, Lookin at Lucky, Mission Impazible. Not liking Sidney's Candy. Hoping that Jackson Bend gets in.
Paddy O'prado has a strong work in the mud. Time to start checking the weather forecast to figure out the mudders to bet.
See it as Eskendereya winning big or completely flopping. If he flops then it is anybody's race with a closer getting the win at the wire.
So the betting goes like this, Eskendereya on top of some exactas and triples, then some box exactas and triples without him. Hope he flops and make a big number.
More as the week progresses.

Horsie update
Okay, the top two or three have separated themselves from the early Kentucky Derby field. Eskendereya, Sydney's Candy and Lookin at Lucky are the horses to watch at this point. Eskendereya had a huge win in the Wood Memorial at Belmont. Probably will be the favorite for the Derby. Of course, if we go back a year we can see what happens to favorites sometime. A 50-1 shot won the Derby last year.
What does that mean. Time to find that longer odds horse that will be in the money this year and make a really good payout.

April means horsies
Two big races today, the Santa Anita and the Wood Memorial. Two top horses came out of those. More later as dinner is almost ready.
Still a month to go so lots of investigation to do.

Almost over
Yeah, I know I don't do this very much anymore. I guess I don't have much to say or am just too lazy to post. Anyway.
Curling season is winding up. We had close to 1200 people come through the door to try curling in some way. We have three separate greenhorn leagues running right now with about 90 people total and a waiting list for next season. Been helping out with the greenhorns and most of them are enthusiastic at least and a few can throw a decent rock already. Ice melt down is the middle of April which is my happiest day of the year.
Baseball season is approaching and the Phils are looking good. Hopefully they will play to their potential. And of course the Mets already look like they will suck again this year, so no worries yet.
The horsies are starting the Spring campaign and April will see the start of the run up to the Roses. Need to start pouring over the intarwebz to see what is what. Oh yeah, and we are heading to Saratoga Springs again. Not during the racing season but still a nice place to visit anyway.
Work is work. Onto a new assignment soon I hope.
And I think the clock is ticking louder on a new kitten since curling is over soon.

I need to vent
Okay, completely Olympic curling related.
Really, these are the best teams in the US? You can't draw the fucking eight foot? With last rock? Time to find a new sport champ. You suck! You had a run, now find a bar to throw darts in and drink beer full time.
Just frustrating to watch. Sorry if you don't know curling and are reading this but I need to vent. The US men's team could be 3-1 easily. They look completely lost. The US women? please, if that had a clue it would say "go home and play ping pong". Seriously, at 54 with two bad knees I like my chances against either team.
I also fear the end of competitive curling on the East coast. The almightly dollar (USOC) is not gonna be happy with these results at all. There will be a serious effort to create "all star" teams from this crap fest in Vancouver. Of course, the "center of the universe" has all the curlers that matter. Good luck East Coast, you may get to play for Worlds and Olympics in 20 years if you are lucky.
Okay, now I feel better.

Okay, another try
So, one post in January. Guess I need to decide if this blogging thing will continue or become a once in a while thing. Maybe I just need to collect Facebook status updates and post them here.
What has been happening? Work is crazy with lots of driving to and fro to NJ. That will get worse in February. Curling is kind of over for the season for me due to that. Just wont be in CT enough to make it to the club on a regular basis.
We did host the GNCC Mixed Championship and I did the ice. I must admit, it was really good ice. Nice and fast and decent curl.
Beginning of March sees us off to Kalamazoo for the Nationals. Coaching a women's team out there. First time for me so it will be interesting. Hope I can add something to the team.
Olympics start soon and with it a rush of open houses to hopefully add a bunch of new members. Interest seems pretty good so far with quite a few people already signed up online.

The new year begins
So, here we are in 2010. It has to better than 2009.
Curling also starts again after a long break for the holidays. I have not really thrown a rock in a month and the break was good. Playdowns are coming up for the US and some of friends in Canada. The Olympics is just around the corner. Have to find time to fit in a bonspiel somewhere I guess.
The Phightins' are just a month or so away from spring training. Winter can't last that much longer. March also begins the run-up to the Run for the Roses. Time to start watching the horsies soon. April brings the melting of the ice. Really does not seem that far away.
And somewhere along the way, I have a feeling a new kitten will enter the picture. Probably one of these.
