To quote Andy, "I DON'T CARE WHAT THEIR BREEDING IS"

No I don't. The rule is, The only thing more idiotic than betting against Lava Man in California is betting on him anywhere else in the world.
I think shipping him to this race was a big mistake. I hope he wins, but I don't like his chances at all.

as much as I like Lava Man, I'd be surprised if he won.

The odds from our traveling poster (brockguy) from some book. They got him as a 3rd choice in what looks like a tossup race from these numbers. How is this? They think this many US dollars come in, or they really think Lava man has a chance. The I like is not mine.

I am not saying that I think English Channel will win, but to me, 7/1 on Lava Man and 9/1 on EC makes no sense whatsoever. EC has a MUCH better shot here than Lava Man.

The important thing that people must realize is the difference between day racing and night racing. We tossed a 2/5 Pletcher chalk at Prairie Meadows (Above the Wind or something to that nature) because he was already a freak mentally and the lights threw him for a loop. A racing day like this, it is important to see how they come out on the track.....

Watch the Jock on pompeii ruler, Craig Newitt is a born Natural knew he was special before fame & fortune when i used to strap i,d watch & punt on his horses with glee ,I see very few naturals but i put him up with DO & Beadman.:D

The Duty Free makes me mad because it makes me think of last year's winner David Junior. I was really excited about his chances in the Classic last year. I had him every which way because I thought he was a great value. Pick 3s that were live, keyed in exotics, straight w/p bets, everyting.
He didn't run a step.

****, I am betting Mystical....

I guess I am way off

That's a good point. And I think the horse you're thinking of is Circle the World.

They really should have started him here in the JCGC or something.

Yes, was close with starting letters or whatever :)

We need G'Town to win it all, bet them back in July at 20/1, my only future wager that is available

It was Bishop Court Hill who drew the rail. Coach Jimi Lee won.

That is if I remember right which is no sure thing.

what time do these races start est time

9:30 AM EST is supposed to be the first post.

Anyone know if they are going to have the fireworks show halfway through the race card again this year?. That was really bizarre last year and Im sure upset more than a few horses!

Dude that is awesome. I was thinking I had to be up at 6am on Saturday because Youbet has the first post at 6:40am, which is in PST time
