He seems to have good gate speed and he is 4 out of 5 this year.
Wave Carver good make his big brother Ocean Runaway happy if he wins
the CoC like his big brother did.

Did you watch the LosAl 2 Mill futurity last night, Blues Girl Too she was
ultra game last night holding off No Secrets Here by a neck/head. She
wouldn't be denied last night.

yeah, that was really impressive.
actually it was FDD Dynasty that ran 2nd, but No Secrets was right behind them.

Country Chicks Man ran that huge race at Lone Star earlier and that shocked me.
if he runs that race, yeah he can and probably will win.

but I always hesitate to pick a horse like him that has not been running in top class stakes race at LOS AL.
sometimes its just a whole different ballgame when they get to Los Al, no matter what the level is that they have been facing elsewhere.
he is really the only true invader.
really all the rest of the runners besides Strawkins have been running almost exclusively at Los Al.
and he is trained by the king of Los Al, Paul Jones, and ran his last 2 at Los Al.

I probably really dont know what I am talking about.
Im learning the Quarters as I go.
really only been following quarter horse racing this year and the only track I ever play is Los Al.
Ive been playing and watching thoroughbreds for years, but this is new for me.
but tonight is going to be a lot of fun.
best of luck to whatever you play.
im going with Wave Carver.

Same here, but your knowledge of QH racing is ten times better than mine.
Just started following them in the summer. I know a lot more about Arabian Racing than QH. I enjoy the arabians because I seem them a lot at Delaware Park were some of the best Arabians.

Also who is the guy in your avatar pix.

personal hero of mine,
Eric Heiden.

won 5 individual gold medals(speed skating) in the 1980 winter Olympics at Lake Placid, NY.

I never got to see him compete(except of course on tape), but I grew up with stories about his greatness.
parents named me after him b/c as a baby, they said I looked like him(I dont know how they could have known, just wishful thinking) but Ive grown up to look very similar to he did in his early 20s.


I am of course biased, but I personally believe he is the greatest indvidual athlete in the history of our great country.

Remember seeing Eric Heiden on the Sports Century on ESPN, he was hell
of a speedskater. If I remember didn't he become a doctor.

Tough to watch the obvious best horse get beat in that spot. Be A Bono broke a little slow and was flying late. Really wish he would have gotten there, lost by the smallest of margins. Congrats to Wave Carver

Be a Bono is always slow to start but with that long stride he makes up alot of ground late.
