Thanks Dan, have fun and good luck.

Good stuff Dan. Wish I was there. The 1 horse is interesting in the derby also. Good luck

Common theme here, speed on the turf.
I'm a stubborn f$ck, I think Isabella gets hooked, record at distance makes me think this might be a tad out of here reach. The 1 in that race is a giagantic ?

Good luck boys!!!

*dan, also give my regards to that child-man-boy chalk eater 2 boxes to your left

-bt-

Thanks Boys....Chalk festival so far but there are some fat races coming up.

Tom you may be on to something in the feature, but I've got Sonic Mule 5-6 lengths faster than the speed and think he either controls the pace and wins gate to wire, or the winner comes from the first flight. Wild Shot should be with them this time 2nd off and likely would have given McCracken a real test if he had a race under him last. Watch out for Basha...

Brian IS Is known to throw a clunker here and there and don't blame ya. Just nothing in here that stands out other than Dickerson, and I've seen this movie twice here and know how it usually ends... oh yeah speed on the turf is money.

No love for Fifty Five in the Oaks??

I'm locked, stocked, and two smoking barrels on her.

Best of luck today (outside of that race) !! :D

May want to think about adding the 7 in your pick 5 here...absolute beast in the post parade...

Inside turf is where it's at, thought I had two winners both found quicksand on the outside entering the stretch, fml

Stanford just broke McCracken's track record. That was short lived....:eek:

Dini likes his horse here B

Love this 3 coming up.

Yeah, but that mother ****er can run me down no problem, **** this **** man, unreal

Nice Call Bro! Congrats !! I did add him in the p5 once you pointed him out thanks!

Irad Ortiz pulled the same sh1t on Lewis Vale in the 6th...LET THEM ROLL!

Tapwrit just break it again ? :)

37 year old stakes record, broken. Stanford's track record holds.

I'm guessing Street Sense thinks it was a dreadful race too. :D
