I tried playing Beulah again yesterday. What is the worst part about Beulah racing...the horses, the jocks, or the track?

part of what sucks is this horse went off at 1/5 and ran 3rd, which means you cant tell which horses are feeling ok enough to run that day and which ones just want to lay down and die.

Beulah is the "Graveyard of Favorites".

Literally.

Exactly.

Imagine you owned a Storm Cat/Mr. Prospector filly that's a half to a multiple Group 1 winner ... nice residual value there ... how bad would that horse have to be training for you to even consider shipping to Beulah and running for a less than 6k purse?

The stunning thing was that the horse wasn't scratched.

The lack of hotties in this thread was a let down.

I'd imagine it was all about trying to say she is a "winner" for catalog and produce purposes. I can't imagine that there could have been softer spot to accomplish that goal.

Most horses feel fine until they read "Beulah Park" on top of the gate, then they get nervous. The ones shipping from MTR know whats up.
