I am against the Preakness for her, preferring the Belmont.

But if Pimlico can't get her into the field given its vague conditions, they are idiots and deserve to be out-of-business, which they are perilously close to already.

Even if they accomplish the bolded, they still are the underlined

Magna sucks. Pimilco sucked before Magna, and now have the Magna-suck layered on top. They are suck squared.

It is the same sheet as putting rabbits into a race to f up the pace giving your horse a better chance of winning. If there is a remote chance to keep her out of the race I would not be surprised if it is taken advantage of.

I actually hope this race over-subscribes and she gets blocked from running...

Lauren, Respectfully Andy cares more about racing, and bettors then anyone I have ever met. He has been an advocate of the bettor and the horseman for as long as I have known him. How you can possibly suggest anything to the contrary is slanderous and capcious...

Look it's a harsh job market and if you were replaced or your position was eliminated you join millions of worthy hard working american people who find themselves in the same plight..

Damn I missed that one but I'm having a hard time figuring out how it got from Calvin Borel off Bird for Rachel In Preakness to Madonna's hyperbaric chamber.

BTW Lauren DRF is a business and as a vendor who has sold merchandise to them for 15 years I am glad that they are running it as such. Newspapers and PP's are a dead business and folks are getting them in all different ways then they used too. The days of EXTRA EXTRA read all about it are DONE..

I know Serling to be a lot of things including ROUGH but never ever tells storys unless they are completely fit for print and one's that he is willing to put his name next too..

In my opinion, if an owner is so scared about RA beating their horse, that they decide to enter more horses to exclude her there is a much more respectable and less chickensheet way to go about it..

Just dont enter your own horse if you think the only way you can win is if she is not in there.

I wouldnt be surprised if it happens either, I just be embarrassed.

well we know that MINE THAT BIRD can run up the rail with Borel. Let's see if he can run Baltimore Harbor wide with Mike Smith.

philcski 05-08-2009 02:23 PM

Sadly, nobody attempted to solve my numeric riddle with all the talk about Madonna's twat.

ezgoerbaby 05-08-2009 03:15 PM

Well, I was wrong.

Her last race was so easy, I doubt it took anything out of her. Normally I like the conservative route when it comes to fillies but this is the time.

I don't know why you think I'm Lauren. This is not the case.

Freddy:

Respectfully you are right on Andrew's many attributes. The game is lucky to have a guy like him.

It's his callousness towards anything non NYRA that is so irritating. When folks look to him for answers or commentary on the Derby, BC, Dubai, etc, it usually comes with an elitist, condescending, and apathetic answer. That's all.

Is it confirmed Mike Smith will be riding MTB?

I hope Chantal gets the mount on Bird so they can do an epsiode of "Jockeys" at Pimlico.
