At Lincoln Downs many years ago
I asked Mike Maganello who he liked,
he said,”Gimmie that Morning Telly,kid”.
I thought to myself,I know how to read
the Telly,I’m looking for some inside
information-I’m looking for some
from Ted too.His tips in the 6th
and the 8th will get my
close scrutiny.
6th.”twentytwenty”gets my money,
but I don’t think we’ll get that kinda price.
Even if “Pistol P” misfires and tires,
he should complete the exacta.
-GO CASH THOSE TICKETS.
8th.I wouldn’t bet “Dom’s Lady”with Confederate Money,
I’m gonna weigh in with “Anchorette”and think Lavello is not
at soft as jello and “Urkillingmebeth”can rise outa da grave.
and “Single Mom”can glom the rest of the Super.
BLACK IS BACK;
The first for $18 and
the DD for $119.
