Arlington's Opening Card - Can't believe it

9 horse DIRT fields.....holy crap.

For the record, I absolutely love a horse in the turf race, Tom Archdeacon. I had him in his last at Hawthorne where he absolutely exploded. I chased the hell out of this horse last year in his two year old season and the turf has done him something good. Not sure what the prices are.

I am hoping to get sick on Friday, not sure how I will be feeling.

I've already got the afternoon off. Going to spend it in the Million Room (by invitation from a friend or I would be sitting in the third level section B at the finish line). Tom Archdeacon, I won on him as well. And then there's Cicero Grimes, and the horse whose name John G Dooley messes up all the time -- Who Let the Cat IN (Dooley prefers letting the cat out) :) And a bunch of others as well. Should be a nice opening day.

not exactly...

Ah it's called All Weather Track not Dirt.

Ill be working there for my second year as a wagering host if any of you guys want to meetup and say hello.

i'll be there Friday, where will you be working?

i'll be there!

















in two months......:D

He absolutely destroyed that field 9 days ago and even w/out seeing pps, looks like a likely single in the last leg of the P4. He ran pretty big against Birdbirdistheword last summer and he's a pretty solid animal.

CANNOT wait! See ya'll there!

Get sick Thursday...fly to Roanoke...help me move Friday morning...then an all day swivel session Friday and Saturday at the OTB:cool:

Interesting to see Eoin Harty is running a horse opening day, hopefully with the polytrack he won't be the only big trainer running horses at Arlington that usually doesn't.

stop with the ideas, I already have enough crazy ones.....

if you are scared..say you are scared...

He got a real **** trip in this race also, knocked in the rail MULTIPLE times....

Like I am scared of anything comedy guy

Well...those are my plans. Actually may be a 3 day swivel as I get off Sunday at 12 noon. Gonna seem like old times for me...OTB 3 days in a row.

Harty has been stabled at Arlington quite a few times. I think he wasn't last year but was for several years before that. Unfortunately it seems like he takes up a bunch of stalls and never starts any horses.

alotta people complain about that on the backside here, heard today luka$$ turned in his stalls here@arlington

was in the barn with TA last year and his trainer austin smith, austin has excellent help working for him! cicero grimes? i think 10 is too high for him, should remain on the bottom. my trainer had that ones owners last year

Almost positive Harty hasn't had a horse stabled at Arlington for at least 3 years.

you may be right. I do know for sure that in 2002 he had some horses at Arl.
After that I'm not so sure.

Im not sure yet, they station me in 1 of 4 or so areas and I have yet to get the schedule, hopefully I will find out tomorrow and let you know. where do you sit usually?

usually on the second floor non smoking section. however tomorrow i'm probably just going to roam around and check out everything and not stay in one spot.
