The Paddock is a general race talk gather spot..

The Selections Room is like an Internet ATM as you probably know..

Off Topic Fun at the bottom of the main page..

International.. Trip Notes.. "Other Racing".. all self explanatory..

The Chas. Hatton Room contains archived classic threads..

Ask anyone whatever you need to know.. Feel confident that you will be well received. Our goal is to foster racing fans and grow the popularity of the game.

We'd love for you to participate but only when you're ready. :)

well I guess that I will be one of the first to introduce myself....
My name is Brandan and I am 19...
My favorite tracks to bet on are Woodbine, Turfway, Colonial Downs
I DO NOT bet Calder
I was at Saratoga last year for the first time and love it
I got hooked on racing because of my father
One of my biggest hits was Pleasant Home last year in the Breeders Cup

My Dad brought me to racing as well.

Colonial Downs - you will have a new friend in T3B, whose real name is GPK. We need to wiggle Arlington into that fray. I also nailed Pleasant Home, that was a great day in the Bellagio Sportsbook.

Welcome

My father thinks gambling is stupid... yet he invests in the stock market :p

I got into the races when I was looking for something to do one weekend and saw that Bay Meadows was open... asked a friend to go and I've been addicted ever since. I never would have imagined when I started that I'd understand what all the small numbers and letters in the Form mean, or that I'd have several on-line accounts and watch TVG religiously... I never knew it could be this good! :D

maybe it's an age thing -- i'm 23 and i've bet calder a few times, then realized i will never bet it again :)

that's funny MY father thinks horses are stupid...he grew up on a cattle ranch and the first thing he did when he turned 18 was enlist in the army to get away from the farm....he's probably not entirely pleased that his daughter went back.;)

Stick with me kid, we will go places.

T3B:cool:

Thanks for the warm welcome. Been reading this forum for a while and enjoy the comments.

Happy New Year to everyone!

Hey Theatrical!, glad to see you signed on here.

Welcome!

Welcome everyone.

And my father got me into the sport as well. Sometimes that man could drive a Saint to drink, but I am thankful for him allowing my passion to grow.

Hi, I'm Heather. I've followed this board for awhile now, but don't really bet, so mostly I just lurk. Thanks for the warm welcome and Happy New Years.

Thanks so much! How are you doing?

Welcome to all of the new members! :)

Wooh Hooh another lady. That male female cap is getting closer its only like 690-10 now:) seriously welcome all, this is a great place to meet people and learn a great deal. Horns, stay away from gpk/t3b only place he will lead you to is a bar, well or bw3's, or a nice looking grass horse....

you know bars are no longer my thing....BDub's for wings is it for this old fart nowadays...:o

So what your saying is i want to buy you a nice bottle of vodka or a six pack your not going to drink it... is that what your saying.

Welcome to all the newbies! This is the place. Glad you joined us!

Hi. I've been on and off of here. Tired of the forum I use to post on, maybe i'll try here.

I like hcp contests, so I guess i'll check that section out.

I live in so cal, and Santa Anita is my favorite track. I love Clocker's Corner! :D

welcome to all the new posters! hopefully you'll find everything you're looking for here, and nothing you're not...

Welcome Happy T!!

Glad you decided to try here.:)

One month lurker, first time poster. This is a great site. Just to let you know, I invested $40 last year, all on $.10 supers, and I won over $32,000. I only play west coast, midwest, southeast and Puerto Rican tracks, and none of my plays are documented anywhere. You'll just have to take my word. Happy New Year to everyone. Let's all make money in 2007.

Oh.. now this guy.. See.. this guy's a fit.. This guy's got 'Derby Trailer' tattooed on his forehead..

Welcome Foufa.. (Foufa's Warrior fan I imagine?)

Thanks Kasept. I am an Arizona State alum, thus the Fuofa is a slight jab at our rival to the south.

Yea, you're here!

Where's First Flame?

Sistah!:)

Please call Native..... Crackers didn't do well today and he's weeping.....

Thats funny.....my father thinks I'M stupid....

My Miss Storm Cat! Thanks for the warm welcome! I've been reading you here for a while and I don't know what the international horses would do without you. (On all forums) Thanks for keeping everyone, including myself, updated on those guys. You have nearly singlehandedly brought them to the forefront on these forums.

First Flame accidently registered under another name here and is in the process of hopefully getting that changed. He'll be posting before long. Thanks for asking!

Happy New Year to you!!!

Theatrical..

Have Flame write me.. I can change the handle internally...

Hi Steve,

Flame has already written an email to you requesting a change. If he needs to make the request to another address, please advise. The address he wrote to was provided in the board guidelines.

Thanks so much for your help.

Is there some membership promo going on??

I remember commenting about a week ago when we hit 500 active memebers.

It now over 600 and the counter just keeps on spinning.

Isn't it the new requirement that one has to be registered in order to read here?

I see at the moment active members are 705.

steve changed the administrative options so that people can't read any threads unless they are registered and signed in...prompted all the lurkers to join:)

How long before it hits 1000!!

Thanks for the welcome!!!

I miss being in a contest :confused: It looks like they're all in the middle
