Strongly considered the best candidate to walk Meghan Markle down the isle, Stitches was nailed at the wire by Prince Charles. Misery loves company, so we decided to invite royal in-law Thomas Markle over for tea and crumpets so we can take in the Royal nups together at 7 a.m. Tom was keen on the idea and stayed to watch the Cubs-Reds. Mr. Markle, sensing my disappointment, hinted he was sorry Charles stole my thunder and was “honored and grateful” to spend the day, but after peeking at my record suggested I’m worse than the British media. Thank you PAPArazzi.
Preakness! With Robbie Cano scratched coming off Lasix, we’re going with Quip. Markle likes Royal Asset in the 7th at Belmont.
We didn’t lose! No play Friday. Cubs pushed Kyle Hendricks back to Saturday and the Dodgers-Nats was postponed due to rain. Staying with our stellar selections: 20 units on Hendricks and the Cubs and 10 units on Ross Stripling and the Dodgers. Holding at -794 biscuits.
