8/25/08 Thoroughbreds Across America with Dr. SwineSmeller
Saratoga Races 2, 3, and 7. Post 1:33 Eastern time. Race 2: Tune up the tuba, La Concerta is about to start. When the Saratoga curtain opens in today's second race, #4 La Concerta will attempt to transform her untested instrumental breeding into a Saratoga winner's circle standing ovation. La Concerta is a $110,000 Ocala Breeder's Sale purchase and a great granddaughter of top tuba Seattle Slew. Also in La Concerta's horn lineup are a 3x5 Northern Dancer, a 4x5 Secretariat, and a 4x5 Buckpasser section. Race 2 is an outdoor 5 1/2 furlong blowout maiden special weight concert for two year old fillies, all vying for the winner's share of $56,000 worth of trombones. Trumpeter S X Bridgmohan will blow hard for Saratoga symphony conductor Steve Asmussen. Oddsmakers say that there is a 6/1 chance that La Concerta will be rained out. I'll buy a ticket to La Concerta for $44 to WIN. Go Baby Go!! ************************************************** ********** Race 3: If sire Vindication is an indication, his two year old prodical son, Royal Vindication, may well be credited his fair due today at Saratoga. #4 Royal Vindication's sire is a Breeder's Cup Juvenile champion who only went to post four times in his short career, winning all four starts before being retired to stud. Race 3 is a maiden special weight event going 7 furlongs for a $62,000 attorney fee. Owner E Paul Robsham Stables LLC dished out a stiff $190,000 for Royal Vindication at the 2007 Keenland September Sale, and in his first and only start, Royal Vindication finished a game third in a not so trouble free New York strip trip. If jockey JJ Castellano can get 4/1 Royal Vindication spotted well early on, a positive verdict will be in clear sight when the field turns for home. I'm banking Royal Vindication gets his due when the gavel slams today at Saratoga. I'll play Royal Vindication for $44 WIN. Go Baby Go!! ************************************************** ******* Race 7: Overbrook Farm in Kentucky houses some of the USA's top breeding mares, and Bounissimo is a black beauty of a son of one of those mares, named Floral Beauty. Bounissimo is sired by like black beauty, Cherokee Run, who posted a record of 13-5-5 in 28 lifetime starts. At a Keenland September Sale pricetag of $270,000, unraced two year old Bounissimo surely possesses potential. But oddsmakers have #7 Bounissimo slated in early at a gaudy 15/1. This probably due in part to an unimpressive 5th place finish in his only lifetime out. Race 7 will go for a mile and a sixteenth on the Toga turf for a purse of $63,000. Second leading USA jockey Robbie Albarado gets the trip for trainer Kenneth McPeek, and given the yearling price tag, Bounissimo should be coded as one of McPeek's top two year olds in his shed. I'll play Overbrook Farm's black beauty, Bounissimo, for $44 WIN. I'll also play a $4 exacta box coupling #7 Bounissimo with the 1, 1A entry of Hype and Swinging Bernie (5/1). Go Baby Go!! ********************* Dr. SwineSmeller |

Maybe I'm missing something? Where's the picks that go with the dollar figures? Dr. SwineSmeller |

Opening day I take it? I am expecting the same performance again, no need to improve. Problem is you got yourself a reputation, and now have cut your price down about 20% because of your legion of followers |

Upon my objective assessment of your case 3Kings, my initial diagnosis states, "It is painfully obvious that you are blind in one eye and you can't see out of the other one". In lieu of your sypmtoms regarding the malfunctioning of your visual acuity, I've made you an appointment in referral with my brother the opthamologist, Dr. SwineSmeller. Unfortunately though, as your doctor, I must regretfully inform you that your rare idiocratic eyeball condition has proved fatal in 99.999% of all previously documented cases. Dr. SwineSmeller |
