Anyone else feel nostalgic for that great running of the '02 WEBN Frog - which featured a battle between future millionaires Request For Parole and Perfect Drift?

Probably not.

There should be a law against posting the entires of a $50K stake race run over a synthetic.... valuable bandwith is being wasted.

I ask you sir, is this not the greatest prep for the Battaglia Memorial Stakes?

does Socks know about this?

Sadly, Frog was dropped from this race's moniker a year or two ago.

It sure is one of the great stepping stones on the road to the Jim Beam Stakes/GalleryFurniture.com Stakes/Sprial Stakes/Lane's End Stakes/Whatever they are calling it now Stakes

I keep waiting for a jockey's decapitation due to the kickback at TP. It's ridiculous.

Still the WEBN Frog in the hearts and minds of those of us who have ever attended Riverfest or Oktoberfest... drank in the Courtyard at Arnold's... danced to the Warsaw Falcons at Corey's or Dollar Bills... had ice cream at Aglamesis...

Or if watched the race go as you're sitting on the runway at Cincy airport waiting for your plane to take off lol.

I'll root for the 1 and hope Billy Troilo wins.

My friends and I joke about that race all the time. I said it's "The Greatest 50k Stakes Ever Run". Not sure if that's true or not, but three future graded stakes winners came out of it and each of the three ran in seperate Breeder's Cup races as well. Perfect Drift in the Classic, Request For Parole in the Turf and Private Horde in the Sprint.

Felix is the worst jockey on the planet, bar none.

They should advertise it as " Coming soon, to a track near you, a bunch of $50K claimers. "


Except, of course, Barrier Reef.

I don't know how sarcastic you're being but I don't see Cave's Valley or Roman Emperor as 50k claimers. The opportunistic Spanky Fischbein who will most likely be exposed on Saturday could be headed for a tag.

I really liked Barrier Reef in the Count Fleet and while he gave up a bunch of ground to the place and show runners I'm skeptical of just how good he really is.

He needs to settle in the back and make one run. I may have been wrong about him, and he may be mediocre, but I would like to take one more chance.

There seems to be ample pace in here and hopefully the track will be reasonably fair.

Spanky Fishburn is a NY Bred, which may spare him from claiming races, but I will withhold judgement on the others.

$50k may be kind for the 4,5, and 6 post.
