im just saying lets be a little professional.
everyone here is either a fan of horses or the game or the sport
I don't play the smart alec game , and I can really only tolerate it if it is accompanied by some good horse racing information.
Dahoss has never to my knowledge shared anything. Maybe he is a great horseplayer or a great guy, but the interaction and the snide comments has had him on ignore for a while.
I thought pillow pants has offered some good discussion.
It's a selfish motive here, but I enjoy this site less when I have to ignore people.
There are some quality horseplayers here (GPK,BTW,FATMAN,Steve,Hooves, and others i can't recall off-hand), and they are the reason I participate in the site.
You now know that Baby First had high hopes being entered in the Hollywood Turf cup 12.09.2006. You also got an opinion out of me that he ran surprisingly well in his 1st off layoff race. It may or may not do you a bit of good, I don't even know if you have even been handicapping the Fair Grounds Handicap.
I found the article again
Baby First Arrives For Turf Cup
Provided by Hollywood Park
Baby First, a 3-year-old colt with three victories in five starts in France, cleared quarantine Sunday and was transferred to the Eric Guillot stable in Barn 65 North for the $250,000 Hollywood Turf Cup Saturday. The Grade I test will be run at 1 ½ miles on grass.
"He came over with a boy who doesn't speak a word of English, and my Cajun French was not cutting it," said Guillot kiddingly of an early communication gap.
"Hubert Guy (a bloodstock agent) found this horse for us in France," added Guillot, who bought him from owner-breeder Frederic Fisk for the Southern Equine Stable that Guillot co-owns. "He's been very consistent and is a true mile-and-a-half-type horse," added Guillot. Baby First, by Enrique out of the Alleged mare First Turn, finished third in the Group II Prix du Conseil de Paris at Longchamps in his last start Oct. 15.
"He worked a mile and a quarter in France last Tuesday and came over with good flesh," added Guillot. "Later, after this race, we will put some speed into him and get him more Americanized." David Cohen has the Turf Cup call.
Guy seeks to win his second Turf Cup with a French import making his United States debut. He found and briefly owned Frenchpark when he won the 1994 Turf Cup under Corey Black and paid a stakes-record $72.60 to win.
Baby First, the only 3-year-old nominated to the race, seeks to become the first sophomore to win since 1992, when Bien Bien prevailed through disqualification.
A field of ten is probable: Artiste Royal (Corey Nakatani), Baby First (Cohen), Boboman (no rider), Cosmonaut (Julien Leparoux), Meteor Storm (Victor Espinoza), Mighty Mysterious (Danny Sorenson), Notable Guest (Garrett Gomez), Runaway Dancer (Aaron Gryder), Symphony Sid (Michael Baze) and T.H. Approval (Alex Solis). Three-year-olds will carry 122 pounds, older horses 126.
