sorry guys, off the board.

off the board

didn't appear to ever be a real threat

Thats racing , tough game , hope she came out OK , so she can give us all another thrill ! :)

She seemed to have a good trip. Got to the rail and saved ground while stalking about 5th/6th the whole way. At the top of the stretch when asked she had nothing.

The folks at Turfway are going to be issuing a PR tomorrow....

"Handle up last night! Thanks DeeTee Stables"

empty

farm tomorrow, R and R for a little while

Straight was instructed to let her settle early and then come with one run. Not try to stalk from inside.. He actually hustled her from the gate... And she's far better being swung outside horses for her run as opposed to covered up and down in amongst horses.

it did appear that she was hustled a bit out of the gate...and then taken in midpack to the rail

And she deserves it !

hafta admit was kinda impressed with that hustle lol, but nope if she don't like where she's at [down on the rail tonite] forget about it, horse definitely has her preferences - hope she comes back well and enjoys the R&R ... as always, thanks to the barn crew for their efforts !

I really don't have an issue with the ride. I know she does better if she gets to settle but the winner moved early and the place horse basically ran 2nd most of the race.

She's run better for more money

it is disappointing

maybe she needed that Adjunctive :rolleyes:

Absolutely! Thanks Chuck, Steve, and all!

I had the same reaction out of the gate, was wondering why she was going, coverup on the rail has not been her strength.

Not the ones that we are allowed to give...

hey hey hey

I know I know
we are all teasing


but seriously.. how did you see the race?

Brian Hernandez and Otto Thorwarth are battling it out for leading rider so I figured the weight off would help since all the other riders aren't exactly drafting speeches for the Hall of Fame. I was wrong and we didnt even get the weight.:wf

I like Otto :$:

Hard to figure. Looked like he had horse going into the final turn and even turning for home but was flat in the stretch. Typical cheap filly race. Can run it 10 times and get 10 different winners. TC said she acted up in the paddock and was really hyped up which didnt help.

Jim Otto or Otto Velez maybe

Oh, and sorry to AeWingnut, and any other wingnuts that think this post was the reason she got bet down to 6-1 :wf :zz:

The win pool had about as much in it as Scavs blew on trotting races after Kickins first win

She was calm the race before but I thought Rene didn't let her do her thing. Up against it in that one

and tonight.... :wf

She had that wall of big ass horses in front of her and didn't feel like it.
Could she be protecting herself?

she has run better against better.

ok, turning the page

I didn't bet her. (The heaviest $2 in racing, ie me, wanted her to win. )

so odds didn't matter to me.

it just seems like 10-1 or 15-1 Dee Tee gets bet down at the windows

are the pools that small?

they were pacers, give me a little more credit

T.C. is lucky to be alive tonite. She reared up on her hind legs in the saddling stall and nearly killed him. Very difficult to saddle. Definitely agree she didn't like being covered up on the rail in the 2nd turn. She was tucked in behind the leaders but didn't fire. Seemed to be fine after the race. Met three partners for the first time. A fun nite overall. Thanks to Chuck and Steve for the home town start.

man..shades of Arlington..She's a crazy girl

Think the outcome would have been different if we get the ride Steve described. The kid did ride a winner (6th) on the nite. Chris got your picture capper zeke.

TC was luck he didn't get hurt bad tonight. KNS made him work hard just to saddle up.
once she was saddled she was fine, blinkers even went on easy.
steve scenario is probably best. she doesn't to like being in traffic on the rail.

had she not been back against the wall, she'd have over and down again.

Good to meet you guys, man I am tired (been up since 3am). WOW KNS was excited, NICE job by the handlers keeping that situation under control at the paddock and stall.

I wish I could have hung around a little longer after KNS race but I wanted to get home and not have to get a hotel room. Hope everyone makes it home safe and hey those DEE TEE sweatshirts are damn nice you all were wearing.

She got trapped. In Chuck we trust.

I want one!! How much are they?

Maybe she needs a goat.....

I was watching the race on TVG with a neighbor and we were concerned about her placement at the beginning, but then relaxed a bit. As they were coming around the second turn the concern rose again since she was buried on the rail with nowhere to go. We thought he was going to swing her out for her run but she couldn't go out and couldn't go forward.

I hope she enjoys her vacation, I am sure she will be very well cared for. She has been a great addition to the DeeTee stables.

Safe travels to all heading home.

Thursday @ Turfway!
 

"those DEE TEE sweatshirts are damn nice you all were wearing".
"I want one!! How much are they"?

Can't tell you the cost - got mine as a X-mas present last year; Steve is the man with the gear - I have to admit it is pretty sweet looking!!

The night experience @ Turfway was indeed fun! In the house was Benny L, Unstable, ddthetide, 2 minutes to post, LaReason; fun meeting up with these DTer's. KnS was her "normal" self in paddock - quite high strung - TC did again have his hands full; hope his leg/foot is OK today! Agree with Benny and others about getting her to the middle/outside for her run - that seems where she does her best. This experience has been has a blast; with the most fun getting to meet the other owners! So its time for her to get some R & R, appreciate the Chuck Simon crew for all their efforts as well!

TC a bit lame this morning. The horse is fine.

I take " a bit lame" as walking with a limp. That exceeds by far my projections for T.C.'s condition this morning. He took one for the team, but did a fantastic job by taking charge and not letting the situation(see AP incident) get out of hand. I owe you one big guy.

maybe tc needs a trip to the farm? glad to hear kickin is ok, and hope that tc will be on the mend soon.
