Good luck!
Steve

My God!
 

RED HOT FRACTIONS in the opener at Aqueduct.. Allowance NYB's go in 1:22.1 after a :45 half and 1:09+ three quarters.. AND TOP THREE ALL RUN ON... Looks like a shpeeedie afternoon at Ozone Park...

discreet gets the record today...

or ..not..lol

The Big A is a speedway my god

One word...
 

Boca Grande..
 

If you can't LOVE what the Phipps' do year in, year out, than you need a new hobby..

Boca Grande.. Unbelievable.. ANOTHER Phipps wondergal...

Great call on that race, I boxed your top choices for an exacta, hit pretty easily, thanks much!

Phipps are pretty special, I must agree.

nice call stevo...glad the phipps can return with a win:)

10th: 17th DeFrancis Memorial Dash (Gr. I), $300,000, 3+, 6f

2. #3 Celtic Innis 12-1
A. #9 Thor's Echo 8-5
B. #7 Attila's Storm 3-1


I came to the same conclusion with Nightmare Affair on top here. Are you going with the only closer in a huge speed race angle?

Steve how did she look?? Run Away??

steve,

great call in the last race

Question - in the last at AQU today - SLow Signal is trained by the best hider of horses in NY - Cotter - can u use ?

FABULOUS... Came up the rail after stalking the pace the whole way..

She was so good she even made Smitty look like a jockey again..

Pretty much.. Think he's the most logical. I love the Calder/Laurel connection. Horses that get over CRC well typically handle LRL well...

Word of the Day is PRICES/People I guess are forgetting about level of competition

Alot of races are paying almost 10.00

Spider Power at Calder pays 10??
Teuflesberg at CD 10??

Alan Goldberg STRIKES like Thunderball..
 

DO NOT let the performance of Alan Goldberg's STRIKE A DEAL get lost in today's wild afternoon of action...

The Laurel Futurity ALWAYS produces important horses, and this colt was SUPER impressive having to do some fancy running to get by a very good Rutledge Cat...

Steve, I posted in the main forum about a horse I love named Page Turner running in the 9th today @ Fairgrounds, I was just wondering what you thought of her in that spot today.

thanks much and great capping today.

we will seeeeeeee...

EASY GOER.. 4/8/89.. 1:32.2
DISCREET CAT.. 11/25/06.. 1:32.2
