what is personal about Fairmont?

seriously dos it have more than 2 rows of bleachers?
no not seriously just teasing

It's "home base" for me... that's all.

There are 5 rows. And seating inside, which is decent but not great.

Do they have beer at Fairmont? I'm thinkin I'd go if our gal raced there.

If there were no beer, there would be no Fairmount Park I'm afraid.

it's less than 2 hours away for me
so I guess it is my home base too.
Would rather drive to Churchill or Arlington

Isn't the Claiming Crown at Ellis Park this year?

Those races were always a goal when I owned claimers. Nice purses for starter allowance conditions. The long f&m race didn't always come up tough....

Yes it is.

Two rows ??? Does that mean most partners have to bring folding chairs ?

I just saw that Humble Janet is entered this saturday at Churchill. Isn't this the filly that Sumwon set down and finished 3rd?

Yes, the very same Humble Janet - will be interesting to see how she does.

Keep an eye on the allowance at Churchill today as well. The second and third place finishers behind Girl's Pearls in her allowance win (Awesome Ashley and Tres Dream) are both entered.

Race 8 - 1M dirt 50K allowance NW1X
23.70 47.62 1:11:97 1:23:91 1:36:23

1. Awesome Ashley - lead every call, won by a neck, driving
4. Tres Dream - by 1 1/2, 3w lane, empty

A guy who does figures on another board said she got about an 89.

You can see the race replay today on the Churchill Downs website - good race, Marque Delivery ran a good one and almost got there, Awesome Ashley led them on a darn strong "catch me if you can" tip.

1:36 and 1 got it done at CD today in the allowance race. Almost the same time they ran when GP beat SWLY at a mile. GP ran 1:39 and change to win the stake at PrM. I'd like another crack at her at a mile and a sixteenth.

She is the consensus 'Best Bet' in the DRF Selections Saturday and Byron King's Best Bet as well:

HUMBLE JANET ran well first time off the claim, making a bold move to take the lead in an allowance here May 26 before weakening a bit late to finish third. She posted good numbers at Oaklawn over the winter and can beat older mares here.
