Mountaineer Sunday Night
 

Just arrived here at Mountaineer from California.
Tonight is the night that Taconic Zip makes her debut in Race 6 a Maiden Claiming Race 15,000 for 3YO fillies. She draws the outside post number 9. This will be the first time (outside of Sumwon this past Wednesday) that i will be racing as an owner. Wish us luck. Hopefully she will be competitive. Would be surprised if she won but am hopeful we can get a placing and a decent check to start out.

Paul

thanks for the reminder, i'll definitely be watching and pulling for you.
best of luck!

We have a DT owner at MTN, gee that gives me a good reason to play tonight.................lolol.

Try to meet Peter Berry. Tell them you're from DerbyTrail and i'm sure he'll want to meet you.:D

Thanks
 

Will try to meet Peter. Not a bad announcer...
Okay, i am heading over there.

Paul

will chime in with a pick or two...

Good luck Paul.

Hope she gets you a check and comes home safe.

early DD

5,9/2,4 is about the best I can make of this mess...


*note to self...check entries for Remington Park for tonight*

damn quarters.....:(

Unreal...the early DD...using both ML favorites (they were both 5-2ML) returns $34.60 for $2...unheard of.

race 3

#9 has value...

damn...3rd at 14-1

Chalk is ruling at the Mountain tonight, where are our double digit payoffs? And where is Mark and the rest of the crew? Guess it's just you and me tonight...

where the hell you been???

I sent flowers...thought you were dead.:D

I'm in the middle of our annual fund drive at work and working on my thesis - it's killin' me :(

race 4

Six Gun Amy



God, what an awful card.

Race 4 looks like I have the wrong form, 7 CT shipers in a field of 8.

quit working so damn hard...

I like 8,5,2 here in the 4th... playing Ex/Tri boxes... *fingers crossed*

You're one to talk, I seem to remember you NOT playing the horses becuase of work :rolleyes:

bite your tounge....


besides...If I aint working...I aint making $$$

6 worries me, Ozzie on board :eek:

*note to self...learn to cap quarter horses for new sunday night hobby*

Well that's a great start for the night :(

Hooves picks were on fire this weekend! I hit a nice exacta today using his pick at Gulfstream... I've got a little to play with tonight :D

Who do we like in the 5th?

Want to play Los Al instead? :p

wish I had some Balmoral PP's.....



The Baron is dying to make an appearance

Unfortunately, Bris does not provide PP's for Balmoral :(

But they do for Los Al, which is odd :confused:

How can someone handicap a race that is run in under :20????

I think I'm going to play an Ex. key 7 w/ 3-6.

Breeding? :confused:

Oh wait, I know - pick the pretty horse :p

I'm leaning towards something similar... EX 7/2,5,6

Neither of you mention the 3 horse...


gonna be fitter 2nd off...may not get up for the win...but very usable underneath at a price.

yeah.....right.

Did you see the stats on the trainer of the 6 that just won? I think he's now won 4 out of 7 starts with one 3rd at the Mountain...

I did notice that Fog Light (#6) had a record of 4: 0-4-0 on an off track, you can now make that 5: 1-4-0 - not bad :cool:

Agreed...

Paul, that was not a bad debut at all. It looked like she held on for fourth after showing some real interest. The TP shipper was fast and much the best.

She looks to have some real potential and I would guess that she will be visiting the winners circle in the not too distant future. speed gets it done at the mountain.

congrats, she looked good.

Thanks ArlJim Not a Bad Effort
 

Ray thought she ran good. She was great in the saddling area before the race and looked great. She hesitated going in because Ray said the Assistant Starter did not know what he was doing. She broke okay and ran good. Like you said, nothing was going to get to the winner from Turfway Park. Ray said she ran a little green in the stretch and did not switch to her right lead until the 1/16 pole. She did tire at the end which was completely understandable. All in all not a bad effort. Would have liked to pick up that 3rd place check instead of fourth that nose was a little costly....
Would expect her to move forward off of that effort and i was pretty pleased overall.

Paul

I like Somebody New (#1) in the 8th. The weight break has to make him a decent play... Any thoughts on anyone to put under the #1 in the Ex or Tri??

Went with the 1 w/ 2-4-5...
