Nowadays, my jobs and kids and band practice and choir practice and 14 weekly loads of laundry and one ill-behaved puppy get in the way of keeping up-to-date with horse racing, much less any kind of horse racing adventure. This year's Fountain of Youth Results Ticker came at an unlikely venue: A Mardi Gras gala.Saturday evening, as my husband and I arrived at a Mardi Gras party [and benefit for Arts Fifth Avenue, Fort Worth], we were greeted by a congenial masked well-known handicapper / turf writer. And in our brief meeting, as a stream of revelers continued to arrive, I was informed that Soldat had won the Fountain of Youth, "where he controlled a moderate pace and just ran away with it. Meanwhile, help yourself to drinks over at the bar."

I wish you hadn't linked it. I had an inkling to who it was. ;-)
Soldat is a more likely Derby winner than Scat Daddy in my opinion and the it would be nice to see a nice guy like K McLaughlin win the Derby.
BTW I know you're busy but why aren't you on Twitter?
Knight_of_the_Jersey_Shore: If this had actually been some sort of "contest" or "test of skill", rest assure, my friend, you would've won $100 cyber-bucks and the cyber-fruitbasket.
John: According to Twitter, Twitter is without a doubt the best way to share and discover what is happening right now. Being on Twitter would assume that I have something interesting to share at the "right now" which, of course, I don't as I'm not nearly as interesting as Charlie Sheen!
Wow. With a $100 cyberdollars now I can pay the P.I. who knows the precise track where Steven M. Asmussen is hanging out at.
I'll keep the fruitbasket for myself.
I've heard Vitamin C is good for ya. :P
