It was the best of times, it was the worst...
What was your favorite win of the weekend?
Your biggest disappointment? |
Quote:
Disappointment = a tossup between the Belmont Stakes, and Gio Ponti's 3rd in the the Manhattan. |
Quote:
Disappointment...getting knocked out of the grand slam in the second leg even though I wouldn't have had the winner in the last leg. |
Best: actively playing against dead favorites like Turbulent Descent, Aviate, and Gio Ponti
Worst: not having the correct horses against the 3 listed above. |
Best: It's Tricky, CS Silk, and Roman Ruler/Stay Thirsty
Worst: Freaking Justin Phillip and Mission Approved. Potential day-ruiners. |

Best = The late Lezcano Double on Saturday.:$::$:
Worst = If we can count Friday, going 3 for 4 on both Belmont Pick 4's, more importantly, the late one where I got beat by that POS Unforgettable PJ by a head at 61-1:wf |
Best: Ravi's Song thundering down the stretch in the Mint Julep at CD, proving in her first attempt that she can handle the turf.
Worst: Ravi's Song, missing by a nostril, finishing 2nd, needing 1 more step for the win:mad: |

Nicely written and well-deserved piece. I'm so glad you posted it or I would have missed it.
He is once in a lifetime. :) |
Catlaunch makes his 95th start in the 7th race tomorrow at RD.

The weather might be hot, but we've got the coolest t-shirt in town. Join us this Saturday for our T-Shirt giveaway celebrating our Hometown Hero - Catlaunch! This scrappy horse has been training at River Downs since he was a 2-year-old. Last year at 10 years of age he eclipsed the $1 million mark and was crowned Ohio Horse of the Year for the third time. The t-shirt features a full-color photo of the champ who will be paraded between races on Saturday by his trainer Ivan Vazquez. To get your collector's t-shirt, purchase a live River Downs program and redeem your coupon at The Regular Guy Pub in the grandstand. Supplies are limited, gates open at 11:30 a.m. and live racing scheduled to start at 1:30 p.m. http://www.riverdowns.com/ Someone alert Calzone Lord. |

Catlaunch has retired and is looking to Old Friends for a retirement home at 12 years of age, having raced 11 consecutive years. Of 108 starts he was 40-22-15, a multiple stakes winner, ranked in the Top 100 in 2006, 2007 and 2008, and earned over $1.1 million.
Congratulations to him. :) |
Catlaunch has arrived at Old Friends. :)

He's in fine company: Rail Trip, Geronimo, Areyoutalkintome, Maybesomaybenot (nice match, eh?) and Johannesbourbon all arrived at Old Friends in the last few weeks. I'm eager to visit again soon. Edit: How did this thread end up in the Breeders' Cup Archive? |
No idea why this is here but happy for the update. He looks great! :)

I enjoyed hearing Michael Blowen talk on ATR today about how great Catlaunch is doing at Old Friends, and how he came to OF in terrific condition. His best of times continue. Hope to see him and all the rest at the farm this summer.
