:eek: at the New Orleans. Nice to see full fields. Should be a great day of racing.

I'll 2nd that. Great card

I thought that Pyro's little sis was going to run in the oaks...

Weather isn't supposed to be very good, hopefully it stays decent. 5 of the 12 races carded are on the grass, hopefully they stay on.

Wow, that's going to be a huge day...

And let's not forget

6 Colonel Klink (IL) 3 Gelding 122 Jesus Lopez Castanon

She got injured and won't make the KY oaks either.

Trackside might explode, whole crew to be there....

Yep, I think I'm even going to peel myself away from my new TV to come hang out for the card.

Exactly, I am even making an appearance instead of going at it from home :)

It is actually double dip for BGR, Fading Light at Turfway also

Bang-up card...

Yes, it's going to be a very exciting day!!!!


Weather outlook for this week is pretty much 20% UNTIL Saturday then it's flucuating between 30 and 40%, will see what happens as we get closer. But it is very dry down here right now...some rain could actually help the turf course. It's quite warm right now almost 90 out...but supposed to cool to the mid 70's for Saturday.

And I shall get you pics of the Col. in the paddock...then again might not need to as the cameraman does a pretty good job of that....;) :D

Injured.


I was wondering where Nownownow was and why he wasn't in the Big cap on the Poly. Good to see him on the weeds, though there looks to be more sand than grass on that "turf" course.

Yes, it's been very, very dry down here which is unusual this time of year...supposed to get some rain this week, hopefully will tweak it.

No sprinklers?

Road To The Roses
 

I have 4 of them in my Road To The Roses

kiss of death
I imagine they will all finish last, 2nd to last and so on.

the turf course is freightening. I saw a horse step in a hole and that was it

other than that the card looks very very nice.

:D

No, sprinklers not available at the FG....:p

Seriously though, it's just not as good as the rain, I guess because we have such sandy/silty soil down here.


Hope not!!!

I think Terrain was schooling in the paddock this past Saturday..couldn't really tell for sure..but Al Stall jr. was there with him...lots of grooms and the horse really stood out, we were all trying to figure out who it was, but I think it was Terrain.

water restrictions.

I have four of those LA Derby starters as well, meaning the one I leave off my active horses will surely win the race in a romp. As of today, that's Free Country.
