I saw Funny Cide lose at the Mass Cap and would probably go see Street Sense win. Besides, Boston rocks!

holy cow, i wasnt expecting such enthusiasm from the out of towners.

what do people like best about boston anyways? getting lost while driving and wondering where the toll road exit you used yesterday went?

the architecture is pretty cool there, but man, driving through there is a bewildering experience.

I went to college in Boston, there is so much to love....but of course, I never had to drive.

Got a kid outside Hartford and usually spend some time in Cape Cod in September. The Commons, Old North neighborhood, Fenway, the Cape. What's not to like?

yeah, boston is pretty cool, but driving there is usually a terrible experience.

i did figure out finally a surefire way to get to the colonial theater, but they haven't had anything real interesting there lately anyways.

i will head down for the mass cap though, street sense or no street sense.

After taking a look at Revere, you'll want to get back to Storrow Drive as soon as possible!

When did you graduate from college and leave Boston? Since then Revere Beach has become a place to live, all new condos.
The Governor is going to announce his support for casino gambling in September and sadly if Suffolk doesn’t get slots it will be the next condo development in Revere.

Piece of cake!
Suffolk is easier to get to from the south now, right on the Mass Pike and follow it to the end - careful not to get off for the airport, when the Pike ends it is 1A and Suffolk is just up ahead on your right.

There is no more driving through downtown. I miss it - could navigate all of the streets AND find free, legal parking. Of course I have been driving here my whole life so I am used to the chaos.

I for one am definitely going to the MassCap, and it would be fantastic if SS showed up.

Wherever he runs,I have a feeling he is getting the "Perfect Drift"Syndrome.Remember how Drifty would perk his ears up and slow down as soon as he got to the front?It seems this has been happening with SS,except he has been winning some of 'em.Check out SS as soon as he gets the lead.The ears come up and he slows down and goofs around.

I was born and brought up in Boston so needless to say I have a bit of a bias here. Learning to drive as a kid in Boston was survival of the fittest on Rte 128 and there you learned two rules.

1) Never impede anybody's progress

2) He with the biggest and oldest car gets the most road

So the the "78" cadi going 85 in the far right hand lane on Rte 128 is doing just fine by me.

(refuse to call it Rte 95 nor will I put up with the reversal of the numbers on the exit signs they changed in the 80's. Honestly how do you go from being Exit 50 going to Salem one day to Exit 26 the next. .... )

I love SS going to the Mass Cap. It's like a rock and roll tour to help out a struggling track that didn't even have the race funded last year. Now if we could just get RTR or Curlin to show up we would have something......Hard Spun will never race again IMO.....off to stud we go hi ho ho!!

The tracks put out these rumors based on nothing. I heard the same thing about the Super Derby. If he is going to ship anywhere out of the midwest it is going to be LA where they have offered him a $1,000,000 purse and it would be against 3yr olds and 9f.

Right now you have to think it is between LA and Hawthorne.
