Andy had a fantastic day today.......credit where it is due. If the NYRA site is accurate I think he had the first 8 winners in his choices. Enfuego lately is putting it mildly...

I should have added if Coa could keep HR straight to timing it right, that call really bothered me, due to the fact it has happened to me before on the N.Y circuit and I didn't get the benefit of a simular call. It's the lack of consistency of these calls that drives a horseplayer to the brink.

Castellano gets away with **** like this all the time; and he does it intentionally. And, lately, the broad has been emulating him out in CALI.

With that said, the call was the correct one. Let's hope that, from this point forward, the NYRA stewards are in agreement that taking a horse's PATH is grounds for DQ.

Anything I say will sound like sour grapes, so I will just abstain myself from any further comments regarding the stewards. It is fustrating from a personal standpoint of believing Harlem Rocker would be an eventual grade 1 winner from very early on in my posts since I joined Derbytrail and getting a chance where he is finally in the right conditions/race/odds and then winning on the track, yet there is nothing to show for it, a very fustrating day indeed.

I waited for Seaspeak since last year, at this time, when Douglas had him ducking in and out during the stretch run due to excessive whipping, till I had a lock exacta with Cowboy Cal at KEE. Believe me, I've felt your pain. Not like we're BTW and get put up TWICE in a week.

The DQ today made me pennies. I used both horses in the 7-8 double, Tale of Ekati for a little more, and boxed Tale of Ekati and Harlem Rocker in the exacta.

We'll jump back on the horse tommorow, pardon the pun. There's always tommorow.

That was a tough one, but it looked to be the right decision. Seaspeak was laying in, I don't think the rider(Kent D) had much choice in the stretch drive, the horse had his own ideas. Tough one but it looked to be the correct decision given the margin at the wire.

That is all I want, just show me some consistency win/lose.
