Holy Moly...........

Lava Man, Surf Cat and Flower Alley aside, this division is not that great. This was not a great field and probably the best chance at a grade 1 for Buzzard's Bay or Brasss Hat.....

AND OLDEST ZAMBONI in existence. At that time, Greg Batt was the HC coach.. He was a Colgate Hockey legend. Must have been 75 then and still coaching. Was at Hamilton maybe 40 years.

Pretty funny.. From Rochchacha? I get there regularly. Doing business with Wegs.. Had tons of friends that were at 'gate from Roch. Brighton especially..
I had a steady diet of Alteri's and the VT(Village Tavern) during my 4 years.
They opened the "New" Sage Rink while I was there. I made it down to a few Colgate games myself. Never had a chance to golf at Colgate though, I've always heard it was a great course!!
I'm guessing this means you know where Vernon Downs is?!?!? Thursday nights were great for college kids......a beer and a dog for $1.....
Weggy's is a great company, I think they are now the No. 2 employer in Roch.

Actually, they both already have GI wins, BB- Santa Anita Derby, BH - The Donn

<irony>Oh but I'm sure they don't deserve to try the Classic. Those weren't GOOD G1's. </irony>

flower alley? lol lets see the horse prove something against the division tops this year before annointing him as anything. somebody also said theres no consistency in the division? well he doesnt win all the time but perfect drift runs consistently well pretty much everytime out

Flower Alley, give me a break. Hes a nice horse, had a nice win in a weak Travers Field where the best horse was coming off a long layoff and injury and rana bang up but still distant second to HOY Saint Liam. Hasnt stepped foot on the track in almost 9 months and his name still gets thrown around as one of the best older horses in training.

Until he wins a few as a 4 year old, his name should not be mentioned with the likes of those who have at least run and have wins under their belt like Lava Man, Surf Cat, Buzzards Bay and Brass Hat.

Tim Surf cat has NEVER beaten a real field, never. No way can you put him on any list of top horses until he does.

Gander 06-18-2006 07:55 AM
Beating bad horses > not running at all

When we last saw Flower Alley, he was better than almost anyone in training now. He'll be in the top 3 when they head to Churchill in October.

Well he gets underway next weekend.

Gander 06-18-2006 08:42 AM
I am not doubting his talent or ability and would be surprised if he wasnt a top horse by the BC. But until he races his name doesnt belong with Lava Man or Surf Cat.

As Seek Gold roared home to take the Foster, I would love to have known the thoughts of Mr. LaPenta and Mr. Zito.

I was happy for Cal Borel, what a genuine display of emotion you could see on his face.

This win by Seek Gold was not a fluke as some of you might want to think. Didn't he finish 2nd to Saint Liam? Moquet finally gets a horse to prove he is the horseman he really is. Calvin Borel is a top of the line rider. His assurance of his win was no surprise to me. When the money is on the line, never throw Borel out. He tries twice as hard as any other rider out there.

And I thought you couldn't top your " Chantal actually isn't pretty " post.
