I heard they have problems keeping help.

To bad, they get some very nicely bred horses, but they never seem to race. I just don't get it.

Hey Out of the Box, I see that Interior Designer is in against Rogue Agent on Friday. Please give us your take on the race. Dont worry, my paltry $50 win bet wont shake up the payoffs all that much

What we really want to know is what exactly happened in Interior Designer's last race that prevented Arroyo from riding him in the stretch ( and probably winning ). Arroyo kept looking down to his left, and even said something to Santos as he went by, but the head-on was inconclusive though it seems possible he either lost or broke his left iron.

Thats very interesting. I noticed the same thing but I think I refrained from posting about it. I actually liked Interior Designer in that spot, but didnt make a wager for some reason. While watching the race, I cursed myself for not betting it, because Interior Designer looked home free.

Arroyo's stirrrup leather was slipping out of its safely buckle. So he was looking down and reaching to put it back in its place. Same time as that he dropped his reins . He came back holding the left iron with help from the outrider. Just another way to lose another race....

Forgot to mention that the 3 blind mice upstairs called right away on the phone and demanded an explanation from Arroyo...They were satisfied with his explanation. Even held his irons up in the air for them to see...

Thanks a lot...I really appreciate the explanation.

Makes perfect sense. I had the double with him to the second winner who paid 20-1.
