Oracle,good to see that Touchdown Kid win a few weeks back.I WAS SURPRISED TO SEE HE PAID $50,but I haven't been keeping track of him.Hopefully he does some more good things.

I think they should all be ridden to the fullest anytime the gate opens. He was giving the public the ride they deserved.

My arguement is its not the kids fault the horse brokedown

Just a horse we loved last year.
Went off form but came back and ran a big one the day after the Breeders Cup and paid 50 bucks to win.
Ny-bred that started with Paula Capestro out in California.

I used him in gimmicks but keyed a horse with him whobattled for the lead and then stopped. I was pretty mad at myself for how I played the race and fully deserved to lose. I used a horse of dutrow's named Cobra (King?) with him in gimmicks.
I had stopped at Buffalo Raceway on the drive home from the BC to catch the last few at Ny and CD. It took Cannon Shell to bail me out with Sabellina. Thing that was funny about that was that she won a photo I was sure she had lost. I wasted a pretty good tantrum complete with cursing and swearing about getting beat the last jump and why oh why did didn't I just keep driving instead of stopping to play the last few races. They put up her number and I actually had to pick my tickets up off the ground because I had thrown them there. I dunno how in the world she won that race, you could watch the replay 10 times and swear she got beat.

Hahahahaha! Quick story... In the paddock I gave a jock instructions.. he nodded the whole time as if in agreement. After the race I asked him how the horse felt underneath him. He looked at me totaly confused.. the valet went and translated! He never understood me in the first place!!! It's not that I dislike non english speaking jocks .... I just think more of jocks who take the time to learn so they do understand what they are asked to do. This is the US.... Jesse Jackson... NO COMENT!!:p

BTW your tantrum could not possibly have been worse than mine. I had a 25 dollar tri if she had held on and the longest shot on the board(I think itwas a Robert Terrill horse) got third that day. It also cost me the last DD.
BUt it wasn't Black's fault. As they neared the wire the filly jumped over the tire tracks from where the starting gate had been. She was never gonna lose, and even after jumping the tracks she barely lost, but I can't blame Black for that. Too bad the trainer didn't have a shadow roll on her, thats what I blame.

I still can't believe she won.

I was really happy with the way she ran but disappointed that she had seemingly got beaten on the wire. But when they showed the slow motion replay on the big screen I thought that we may have got the head bob. When I watched the race live I thought we had lost.
