Especially when it looks like a race is going to come up really light in numbers.

Hate to tell you all this but MP is hanging on by a thread. The hope is they get a hotel on the property now that the town is fighting. A friggin hotel isn't going to do much, and I would assume Drazen views it as a band-aid as well, but that is how dire things are. They owe HISA 1.X million and don't have the dough to pay them to boot. You have a busted Laurel with its 13th blue ribbon committee investigating its future. Losing MP and Laurel in the near future is real, not necessarily likely, but certainly real. Stop worrying about 14-dollar burgers and 4-horse Jim Dandy's at one of three or four places where the game is on solid footing. I get it 25 bucks for a basket of chicken sucks but there is a line for it of 30 people. The one-ounce shots are the biggest problem.


Dahoss, why would you take a shot with a colt if you know the likelihood of him being a stallion is unrealistic, even with a good showing? They will have a 140k allowance he could win coming up. the purses are so great IF you have a 90 BSF colt; you need not take a shot. Everyone at SPA is running horses below what they are capable of competing at not taking shots. Where is Blazing Sevens? I guess Chad is going to cut him back?

Blazing Sevens ran in the Curlin last week.

So transfer him to Ms. Rice, and let's get cooking. I forgot he was unimpressive. Maybe we don't need the Curlin a few weeks before with this horse population?

Glad we are back to 1990 Nascar rules on the racetrack. Rubbin is Racing is so exciting. Maybe the jocks should carry knives and blunt instruments and fight with each other during the race? Peta won't care as long as the horses don't get hurt, and it would add another layer of handicapping. We can change the name of Aqueduct to the Coliseum. At least once Irad stabs Jose, HRT will give up on they are fixing races together.
