8/2 (MTH): Haskell (G1); Oceanport (G3); Matchmaker (G3); 5 more stakes!

[Antitrust32]

Rachel will win by 5 at 1 1/8th here.. dont care how confident Pletcher is with Munnings.. and Summer Bird has no shot on this kind of track.

Her speed is just too much for the others to handle.

Even the best make tragic errors in this rotten business. I knew and posted Gio Ponti would give Ventura fits in their last DH out here. Well Ventura will never be the same if she ever runs again and I'm a dumb egomaniac.

Another case where broodmare value is meaningless. Any offspring stays right with Juddmonte, so even if she won the head bob nothing would have been gained. Garrett gallantly took the bad beat on his shoulders but she never belonged in their anyway. Blah...........

Off topic but how are those pigeons on the 11th floor ledge doing anyway?

Still have the cabana @ the hotel. Come over and kibbutz the gin game this year.

I sold everything out of this rotten business April 30th. Should have done it 25 years ago. I'd probably own the Carlyle by now. Doing well with the Union Plaza anyway.

I almost used your pic in the bikini for my avatar but it's X rated.

B...

In the event Affectionately (she's Happy T here but pretty much sticks to lurking) and I hit Del Mar on Sunday, we shall drink a birthday toast to you.

Rutherienne has a lot of weight. Is it too much?

Yep, plenty of other races at a mile on the turf for females with a $300,000 purse in March to choose from. What the hell were they thinking?

not hard to understand at all-she's arguably the best 3 yo this year, she belongs in the top races. she's certainly shown she can handle the colts.
also, i think jess is wanting the top of the distaff earnings list with her-a win in a million dollar race gets you to the top much quicker than any 300k race.

She's just too fast for any of them. 2 bad she cant run right back next week in the whitney.. she'd win!

The Woodward will be fine.

some performance from Rachel, but can somebody tell me why Munnings was running over 9f? There is nothing in his make up that suggests he could stay 9f. Running him over a mile would probably be just about the maximum.

The only decent sprint this weekend was a G2 that Pletcher already has Quality Road running in. They took their shot at a huge purse on the chance to see how the horse routed on a track where speed carries and now can cut him back for a big race in the G1 King's Bishop on Travers Day.
