WTF is he doing taking Dreaming of Anna off the turf and putting her in the Washington Lassie on dirt on Sunday??? HOW GD stupid can one person be???? This little girl screams to be left on the grass and now they are gonna F her up.....unreal....just unreal.

She is fine on either yo....Graded placed will mean alot to her for breeding purposes, plus I am guessing she has a huge shot in that race, Catalano spots his stakes horses really good, I wonder what his stakes win% is, I bet you it is REAL high. They let Leving(stable Manager) mess aroudn with Lewis Michael and it cost them so I doubt that will happen with her. I would expect her in the BC Juv Filly actually

Don't even tell me that....if they F this filly up, my butt is coming to Chitown and heads are gonna roll.

She's either a half or full to Lewis Michael so she should be able to handle grass or dirt. LM did finish 2nd in the Peter Pan on dirt. Besides, there's not much in the way of stakes races for 2YO fillies. The A-W Lassie is at her home track......why not?

Full to Lewis Michael. Calabrese since has sold the dam (doh)

Scav-

Have you heard anything on Arlington getting their signal re-instated on TVG?

[Scav]

Been looking closely on it. Article on DRF about it also. It is related to TVG jacking Youbet (biggest ADW provider) on that exclusivity agreement. Youbet basically tells TVG to GFY. ITHA is doing some dirty work for Youbet essentially. Youbet just throws them by the wayside but the ITHA knows how much Youbet means to Illinois racing.

I guess Schrup was all crazy about it yesterday on TVG according to a friend of mine, I guess he sounded like a REAL idiot regarding the situation and wasn't talking intelligently about it.

Fact is that any track that signs those agreements has some moron as a manager, hire one person to sell your signals to all these ADW and make your own money and stop being lazy

Honestly, with the way Illinois racing is, I wouldn't be surprised to see it ALL go to Fairmount's level. All of the Arlington mainstays have been running at Prairie Meadows all meet because of the purses, hell, if I owned a horse i would run there or Mountaineer in a heartbeat.

I'm sure the surface problems have contributed to some of the barns running elsewhere.

Shrupp acting like an idiot.......we've seen that before.
