Oh yea, everyone is excited about this one too! :D

Much as i hope Vodka wins here I'm going with Ms. Daiwa Scarlet to beat her big, bad brother and the rest of the monsters.

Pop Rock..... I've never been a huge fan but gee he's hit the board how many times now in these big races? Guess it would be okay to see him (finally) get a great win.

Ms. Gallant is away but i'll be yelled at if i don't post her pick... Roc de Cambes.

Kinane on Roc.....

lol now he's
off the board.


inti raimi
to win.

nc2d,
where is
your pick?

Oh c'mon....... do I even need to post who I will be cheering for! :D

daiwa major?

there will be
a ceremony for
his retirement
following
the race.

Oooooh, I hope Sniper gets to see it!

Was thinking it could be a Daiwa / Daiwa exacta, with Scarlet winning. :p

I'll be at the Bills game. Any clue what time it is and what network it will be on? I'll set the DVR.

Is Samson gonna run?

Sniper...

I'd assume it'll be on TVG but not sure. Waiting for the barrier draw to find out what time. :)

Interesting that Ando, who rides both Daiwas, chose Scarlet. I think Demuro is on your boy.

No Chance.....

Yeah, he's in with Take up.

That's what I like to hear.........


GOOOOOOOOO Samson :)

The barrier draw!

Good Lord, paid over $500. to win here... went off at 260/1.

i'll go with Rikisan Fighter in the Happy Ending.

What about Samson. :(

Is he okay?

Hope you had the winner, AJ... too lazy to look.

I'd think he's okay No Chance...
