Send me a private message as I'll probably be there on the early side tomorrow. I'm happy to meet up with DT-ers as to this point, the only one I've ever officially met is Kasept and I'd love to expand my knowledge base.

JS,

Play Bingo is a scratch... :(

Man, Kasept is seriously on top of things. Poor old Fogelsonger, that guy just can't buy a break these days.

looks like you guys will have a nice weather day. be safe, have fun and cash some tickets !

I look out my window here and it's sunny and warming. Can't wait to hit Laurel!

If anybody is going and feels like searching me out, I might have the brightest orange shirt on in history today and I'll be sitting in the boxes with a guy and his two kids, both under the age of three.

Am I the only one who thought the MD Million Turf race run in 1:46 was exceptional?

How it was done was phenomenal. Dueling the whole way through ridiculous fractions then pulling away in the stretch to tie the course record... I liked him a bit, 1st time turf with a bit of turf pedigree. My selection didn't run a lick (One Eyed Joker.)

Is it OK to blow your own horn on this forum???? :)

Those were two nice exactas with Ms. Albert's horses......

Until this past Feb, I've had horses with Linda for the prior 6+ years. She does such a nice job given what she has to work with. I walked away from MD racing in Feb because it just got to be too tough to be a claiming owner in the middle levels, and there's no money to be made at the bottom.

I hope days like yesterday will open owners eyes a little so they'll think twice and maybe give Linda a decent horse or two. I have no doubt she can train with the best of them.

Steve, if you ever want to start a partnership in MD, I'd recommend going to Linda Albert to train. Need a phone number, let me know....

On your advice, I used the two Linda Albert-Fogelsonger horses in my pick three wagering. Sadly, I missed out on horses like Evil Storm and Forty Crowns. All in all, a fun day, but not great wagering.

WTF is up with the heat at Laurel? Seriously, it could be 90 degrees outside or 30 and it's still like 89 with 75 percent humidity in the box seats area.

Forty Crowns looks like a potential monster.

i wish btw had told us he was goin to be on tv. i had no idea it was televised until i surfed between games and stumbled on the last 2 races.

Was HRTV there yesterday?

MASN carried it on cable. pincay was the host.

Any idea what Forty Crowns got for a Beyer? I have to imagine it was impressive.

Under a 105, because it's not on the updated Beyer leaderboard. My guess is a 102, giving Maddy's Heart (the winner of the Ladies) an 89.

Sorry. It was pretty well advertised and I assumed people knew.

Just to show you how far behind the times I am, I didn't even know BTW was actually on HRTV.

I'm not on HRTV. The show was a MASN production that used Laffit Pincay from HRTV. Caton was also working for HRTV and was on our telecast.

AH! I get it now. I saw the film crew outside. I swear I've seen those tents sold for like $29.95 at Target.

they must have advertised it in the baltimore-dc area and not out here. i'm 90 min west and had NO idea.:o
