I believe that Pletcher is going to have a string there this year because he dropped a string on the east coast, but I could be wrong

While I am pissed about losing everything I know about Arlington since I was 12 (16 years of Arlington) I think this is a great thing for us Arlington players and think it could put Arlington back into the major player scene, like it was way back in the day. All we need is the horses because we have the greatest facility built in the US, arguably the greatest turf course, and the atmosphere to explode.

He is off his rocker, it is nice, and I love how they card all turf races, but he is smoking too much wacky to think it is better then the Duchessois approved lawn

The class of racing is obviously lacking at AP, but the facility and the turf course are pretty much unmatched by any facility in the country.

What do you mean drop? He has enough horses to have a string at every track.

My guess is that DeCarlo would come here and ride for him????

Maybe if Mena came here he would use him as he used him at Turfway

I doubt he would use anyone from the Illinois colony unless it was Guidry and he will be real selective with his rides this meet I am guessing

90% sure DeCarlo will be at Monmouth, where he's been for quite a while. He rides for Pletcher there on a regular basis...
(the purses in Jersey are really good on a regular day, as well)

I was on the backstrecth the other day and asked a trainer I knew he said he didn't think he was going have a division, but last year he showed up a couple weeks late. I guess we will wait and see

This from a press release I got

Scace and Pearson will be joining the tough cast of Delaware Park regulars which include Scott Lake, Steve Klesaris, Tim Ritchey, Michael Gorham, Anthony Dutrow, J. Larry Jones, Michael Pino, Howard Wolfendale, Jonathan Sheppard, Michael Matz, and H. Graham Motion, and Mike Zwiesler.

Default Arlington's Jockey Colony

Rene Douglas
Albarado - huh? why coming here??
Jesse Campbell - represented by Dennis Cooper, who represents Douglas
Joel Campbell - brother exactas running rampart
LAVIOLETTE - Mark Guidry is his agent, I CAN'T wait to talk **** to the Guid now, because I really like him as a jockey, but representing this bum is his worst decision of all time. Guidry must not like making money
Emigh - nuff said
Betancourt - randy romero is his agent

Douglas wins this jockey title by Arlington Million Day......

I don't understand why the tracks just can't add more cushion for the dirt courses. I picked up some poly at Keeneland and it had what looked like colored sprinkles that kids put on their ice cream. It just seems like a big con deal to me. I believe one of the main reasons why breakdowns were so high is because the majority of horses were doped up on drugs that made them feel no pain.

But hey, wtf do I know? It's obvious the powers that be have the right answers.
