Matron/Futurity (BEL) Talk..
 

Combined the threads featuring the entries for this pair of famed 2yo stakes..

Ok next time i will post together sorry:D

L=G..

No problem.. Just thought they'd fir well together and there'll be plenty of chat about them both once they get the PP's up...

Thx for putting up the starting grids..

No problem I would post the PP's cause i get the DRF subscription but i cant figure out how to copy the PDF file and then copy them to the board

The horse of Zito's that Incriminate defeated narrowly last out runs on the undercard in a maiden race. He'll be facing a half brother to Madcap Escapade and Dubai Escapade trained by Bruce Levine and a firster by FuPeg that a buddy of mine owns(named after himself) called Jagerman. Hes even got that on his liscense plate.

I absolutely love Most Distinguished. There were several yearlings that I wrote down after seeing at the Saratoga Select sale last year and he was one of them. Absolutely adore Dixie Union 2 year olds (Kong's Revenge was VERY kind to me closing weekend at the Spa....good luck to him in the Futurity) and Most Distinguished is a fighter. Let's hope he gets it done on Saturday.

Jagerman...is he owned by Lee Einselader (spelling?)

I'm loving this race.

I like Cash's Girl in the Matron.... Afleet Alex is my favorite horse and she's from the same sire.

I gotta go with Rusty Arnold arfter that article :)

Yeah Lee owns him.

who would do something so stupid as that????:o :o :o

I like the future BC winner Magical Ride.

The breeding is excellent and she will likely win this weekend, but she is not going to win the BC. Chagall who is running at Monmouth on Saturday, showed the major fault in her. She can't relax.

Appealing Zophie and Point Ashley look real tough.

I would guess Octave will run her down again.

I am using King of the Roxy and Incrimate as my picks in the Futurity.
