Why Super Frolic matters

[The Indomitable DrugS]

After Super Frolic broke down - I went back to the Asmussen barn to have a look at him - he was in very bad shape in my opinion.

When I asked The trainer who's deputizing for Steve Asmussen and Darrin Flemming about his status - he told me that there was suspensory damage. I asked if he'd make it....and he said he'd know more in a few hours.

I was the only member of the press that day who went back there - I was going to go back again after the last race - however, my biggest bet of the night was in the final race, it won and paid $26.00 - and in the excitement of that..I forgot all about making my second visit back.

Scott Lake's Cantrel broke down as the post time favorite in a stake race on opening day. The post time favorite has now died from the result of an injury suffered during the race in two of the meets five stake races.

...and we're all lucky you chased that ambulance cuz when there's a veterinary emergency at the track one of the crucial elements necessary to assess and stablize the patient is a pen-and-notepad toting megalomaniac trying to get a scoop...

Congrats.

Ding, ding, ding...I am safe now. No way I can win the "Dumbest Post of the Day Award" after this gem.

I watched from afar until he was taken care of and spoke with the trainer as he walked to the track....in the process of him watching yet another loser run under Steve Asmussen's name.

Yep! I believe Asmussen is currently 1-for-26 with favorites so far.

With a few last place finishes and now one dead horse.

He should consider sending his string to Arthur Wendel next year.

Indeed.

Todd Beattie isn't doing much better. Besides a winning first time starters - he's been blanked.

But that seems a bit over the top. Slam him for the redboard, not trying to find out if the horse is okay.

I hope DrugS doesn't find out I referred to the PID as an irrelevant outpost of racing.

Should have let me know you DID have an agenda with that one, PID I will loving always refer to it as the irrevelant outpost. I felt the need to edit my post regarding dinner, but hey I'm in Louisiana we'll eat anything down here.

His post read as though he thought he was the only one at the track that day that gave a **** about the horse. That's what I was commenting on.

I'm sure I misread it, though. Must have been all the "I"s.

The real reporters there that night had two more stake races to cover after Super Frolic went bad.

I was the lucky one who got to make the half mile walk in 45 degree weather with no coat.

I want to thank Miss Storm Cat for starting what turned into a most entertaining thread. Super Frolic was an extremely admirable horse who surely deserved a better end, and the same could be said for many horses and people in this game, and at least this thread offered us all some humor to help make it through this brutal game. Speaking of brutal games, CJ, I just got home from the Os game. Did I really need to watch that for four hours?

It also allowed DrugS yet another opportunity to redboard. But, then again, what thread doesn't.

The previous day, my top pick and day's best won - but only paid $23.00

I don't even know the score. I think there is a rule that all Yanks/O's games last four hours. If only the season were that long.

At least he didn't mention Street Sense or Discreet Cat, so we've got that to be thankful for this fine morning.

The Yanks were up 8-4 with two outs in the 9th and two Os on....and the Yanks brought in Mariano. Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't the worst pitcher in the league, Os relievers not included, be over 99% to hold that lead?

Well, he was 20/1 on the morning line - and not only did I pick him on top - but he was also my best bet in the newspaper.

Where can we find this paper?

For the proper way to give out a winner, see Harry's PID thread...you know where to find it.

FTFY is fixed that for you.
