The Count Meets the Cookie Monster
Sal says it’s been a few years since Phil was flattened by the Battersea Omnibus and Phil was feeling a tad deflated so he asked Sal to sub for a while. While Sal will be guest posting the run-up to the 2022 Kentucky Derby 148 and a few other posts he may on the odd occasion borrow or reprise a few items from Phil or other sources. You can call it what you want but Sal calls it research.
Taking something from one man and making it worse is plagiarism.

Sal says that over the next week the media both social and unsocial will be publishing Kentucky Derby stories of varying degrees of merit and relevance . If you search deep enough you’ll probably be able to find a “special interest” story on the person who washed the first Kentucky Derby silks by beating them on a rock in the Kentucky River. Sal says that the serious horseplayers love those articles for the distraction and misinformation they provide to the masses.
The Conversation – White – Scientists are hoping to redefine the second – here’s why
The only reason for time is so that everything doesn’t happen at once.

Tabarnak
Sacre Bleu
Sal says that he thinks he knows why and it’s to confuse the horseplayers more.
It won’t be: ‘They went the first quarter in 22 and 3’. It’ll be: ‘They went the first quarter in 22.6040505014990210104020807809802060710209030830840840804084809902030314203143… and the winner is:.’
Does Anybody Really Know What Time it is.
I don’t know anyone who curses the way they do on the Sopranos. Not in an Italian household. I never said the word hell in front of my mother.

Soup is a lot like a family. Each ingredient enhances the others; each batch has its own characteristics; and it needs time to simmer to reach full flavor.
Marge Kennedy
I used to be a heavy gambler. But now I just make mental bets. That’s how I lost my mind.
Steve Allen
An idealist is one who, on noticing that roses smell better than a cabbage, concludes that it will also make better soup.
H. L. Mencken
Speed provides the one genuinely modern pleasure.
Aldous Huxley
Three keys to success: read, read, read.
Vladimir Lenin
Sal says that if you wistfully enjoyed remembering when while watching those recent Kentucky Derby replays you’ve got a brain the size of a walnut and you probably can’t remember when you last cashed a big ticket. Get out the historic pps and like Vlad said: read, read, read and you might find a hint that will help handicap the 2022 Kentucky Derby.
Sal says that you better pay attention as there may be a couple of hidden hints and cryptic clues over the next few days.

Description of the Morel Project
Sal says that you’d expect the other 31 NFL owners to be clamouring at the top of their lungs for an investigation of the Washington Commanders finances since they are the ones owed the visitor’s share of the gate, but instead you could hear a first round pin drop. Sal says that’s the most telling aspect of the business ethics of the 32 NFL owners.

Fans can also participate in the Horseplayer Car Giveaway by picking up a free horse to toss. Horses can be picked up at the Players Club desk or Horseplay table in front of the Winner’s Circle. Participants attempt to throw their numbered horse into the window of a moving car. A winner, randomly chosen from all the horses that make it into the car, will receive a $100 betting voucher. Each night’s winner will be entered into a grand prize drawing to win a brand new 2022 Toyota Corolla LE on Friday, Aug. 5. After the horse toss each night, children get to pick up all the horses left on the track and receive a free ice cream from The Cafe.

Sal says that Deshaun Watson’s victims would probably agree that he gets the same length of suspension as Bauer – 324 games.
