I hate the Sox and Yanks and Braves--lol. But the team I dislike the most is the St Louis Cardinals. I grew up with the Big Red Machine. Plus being in Indy we had the Reds farm system team here for years. So I am a Reds fan. In the American League I really like the White Sox.

He wasn't? Wow, that's a shock. Where did you read this? Jimmy Jerkens kept saying that he was pointing Corinthian to the Dwyer..........how disappointing.

Euro,
1st Sat,
and
Boldruler,

Ya bunch of haters! Hate the spankies, don't hate the Braves. Those are my boys. :p

Off topic, but does anyone have the entrants for the Triple Bend? My stupid computer here at work won't let me look at anything regarding it because it's considered "gambling." :eek:

I need to make my picks today because I'll be gone all weekend.

Jimmy's horse isnt ready to run in a big race like the Dwyer. Your likely to see him in an allowance spot in the next 2-3 weeks and if all goes well, maybe he'll be pointed for the Travers. Its not as daunting of a race without Barbaro out of the mix.

Whoa, can someone explain to me why I'm no longer a juvenile and now I'm just plain old "Pimlico?"

I am Hollywood Park. What is up with that? Shouldn't I be Gulfstream or Calder?

I want to be at f'ing Charles Town? Is this supposed to be some kind of status thing? Because if so, I might actually think CT is a step up from Maryland racing.

And I am Hawthorne, geez what an insult!

But you are where the Preakness is held. I get to the be the concrete track...

Thanks, Zippy!

Gander, that's true about the Dwyer - it would have been exciting, but he may not even be ready to race yet. I'll be excited no matter what race he's entered in.
