nice win by gold ship. kudos to the jock for giving him the perfect trip. world ace on the other hand was almost taken into the grandstands on the turn. i'm sure the jock felt he was the best horse but c'mon man - that was ridiculous. the next one should be very interesting.

What happened here SS?

beat black was stalking the pacesetter and apparently they weren't going very fast. most of the rest of the pack was many lengths behind them. orfevre was traveling 3rd to last most of the way. and when they turned home there really wasn't much gaining of ground by anyone which leads me to believe the pace was slow. still, orfevre's connections can't be too happy. he should've demolished this field.

I've watched it three times....just still so very surprised.

What do you suppose they'll do now?

Is the Arc still on?

Disappointed in quite a few runners in this one. :confused:

yeah, it was a weird race.

i'm not sure what the next step in the plan was for orfevre. how many races were planned between now and the arc? i honestly don't know. we'll have to watch and see what they do. hopefully he will bounce back strong.

Who do you like in the Mile?

Not playing but hoping Sacred Reve wins. :)

Well I would tell you but Xpressbet's wagerpad is fubar.

Only seeing 1-8

Just pretend I fell and landed on my head or something cause not sure if I understand what you're saying Coachie. :D

(Oh I meant the 1-8 thing)

I'm putting in my play and leaving it at that.

Probably nuts but I like Shigeru Sudachi to hit the board somewhere so will use him underneath Sacred Reve and Curren Black Hill.

Curren Black Hill, Sacred Reve and Hana's Gold boxed and then used with with Shigeru Sudachi, Just a Way and Clarente in the 4th spot? Something like that.

I don't see Alfredo or Mount Shasta hitting the board and I'd assume they be 2nd and 3rd favorites (?).

Good luck!

xpressbet only had the first 8 runners showing for each race at Tokyo. They fixed it right before race 8.

I'm so wasted right now that fbhqeuit4uitjfvmefds

Good luck. OSHITA!! OSHITA!!

Hahahaha okay got it!

You go Coachie. :{>:

I'm gonna put in my silly plays and just let it be and will check in the morning.

You Sir? You keep going and win every damned race.Do you understand?

Good!

Yea for racing! :D :$: I hope you had a really good day. Mine was pretty good. :)

I had a great day. Was up early, gave it all back by 3, was down big at 4, got bailed out by the teller giving me the wrong horse and had the exacta for $5 in the 10th.

Hope you did well and good luck tonight.

Awesome about the teller. :D

I guess Shigeru Sudachi fell or was brought down from what I've heard but really... not sure, no need to see the replay.

Curren Black Hill
Alfredo
Clarente

Since I didn't use Alfredo I had nada.

Hope SS is okay.

On to HK!

I dozed off after the 10th. Long weekend. :D

Have you seen the field for the Victoria Mile, Coachie?

Looks like a really nice betting race. :$:

Love Apapane but she hasn't won in a year... just not sure. Grand Prix Angel is still in training and wasn't supposed to be so that's encouraging...

Love Whale Capture and some day she'll get her G1 win. Runs her heart out.

I think I'll use Marcellina on top with Whale Capture and Queens Barn in the 2nd spot with Animate Bio and a few others filling out the tri / super. Maybe toss in one of the girls with uber big odds... Kyowa Jeanne or A Shin Harbor (so pretty! :eek: :D).

I should probably just learn my lesson form last night and box Marcellina, Whale Capture and Queens Barn. :wf

I missed the race by about two minutes but had put in my plays before I left and thankfully was sentimental.

Thank you, Whale Capture and hooray for getting a G1!

Didn't use the girl who finished 2nd so there went that but still....

Well, no point in saying any more. Happy though. :)

Okay well I'm sticking with the first two on top with Tosen Homareboshi, and Historical with Deep Brillante, Just a Way and Monstre at the bottom of a tri and a super.

Speilberg and Alfredo will take a lot of money (I think) and I'm pretty much staying away from both.

Trip (very pretty :D) is another I'll leave off my tickets.

Brightline is one I'm back and forth on so should probably use him somewhere but as far as the winner it's between Gold Ship and World Ace.

Good luck if you're playing tonight.
