At the start of the Foster, the track announcer exclaimed the field included the winners of 47 races. Wow, 11 horses, four years old and up, in a Grade 1, that won less than 4.3 races each.....and that was supposed to be an accomplishment?

Mark Johnson loves to trumpet the "accomplishments" of the horses running in stakes.

I don't get it at all.

He REALLY likes to talk on the mic a lot.

This is conservative for him.

Good point. This was probably a backup when he wasn't ready for the Foster.

If anyone would actually want it, I'd bet my left nut that Dublin is out of the $$.

I have no idea how DWL still gets horses who actually have ability.

Is a quarter crack as painful to run on as an ingrown toe nail? B/c I've had surgery on both big toes, more than once b/c I keep getting ingrown...and yes it is supposed to not be able to happen more than once. Magic toes I have.

But the Derby and Preakness, no problem :wf

I didn't think Wine Police was so bad today.
