    West Side Bernie needs to be checked for drug infractions prior to the Derby. I wouldn't like to see him come inthe money, like Wait Awhile screwing up the exotic wagers, to only be taken down later inthe future. FB is it you that was waiting for Sky Victor's return. Cause if so he runs tommorow @ Hollywood. I've been waiting on him as well.
