are you an atheist Zeig?
nothing wrong with that, I just thought we had previosly had religious conversations on ESPN and I thought you were religious.

if there is a heaven, I sure hope they allow gambling on horses.

I KNOW I will.
My five...for personal reasons.
1) Thunder. A shetland that I learned to ride on. He was fatter than my legs and a saddle wouldn't fit with the largest girth, but he taught me a lot, and I tried with him...we came to an "understanding". I was nine years old.
2) Arapahoe. A gorgeous Arabian filly. Loved the hugs, and the carrots.
I sure miss her. I was 20.
3) Majorette...an older hack horse that I put my son on in front of me when he was three. Bomb proof. A real sweetie. I was 28.
4) Silver...a gelding off the track that needed a new career after retraining.
He helped me conquer some fear, as did I for him. I was 43.
5) Big Daddy Ray. Runs on 10/10/06 in the 7th at Finger Lakes. 15-1 ml.
He got me into this. Still handsome. Just like me. I'm ageless.
Their memories will always live in my heart.
See you all in heaven.

Why risk not seeing Big Daddy in heaven... why not catch him at Finger Lakes in the 7th tomorrow instead?

Tim,

I absolutely loved Gander. Gorgeous as it gets, and the Med Cup(I think) one year was one of the best races I've seen in person in my life. 3 horse photo went to Gander and he held them off the length of the stretch. Simply a race I'll never forget.

KZ Bay- won the Lady Canterbury Stakes at 33-1 back in '96. Died in '99. She was a Turf gamer.

Crocrock- One of the best sprinters that Canterubry has even seen. Died breaking a leg after winning a 6f race at Prairie Meadows. He also was a gamer.

Perfect Drift- It'll be the culmination of a great career when he blows the tote board to China on BC day.

St Liam- The only horse to ever even hang with Ghostzapper. That goes far in my book.

Ghoztzapper- Freaknasty. Bernardini could romp in the Classic by 20 lengths, and I'd still think Ghostzapper would beat him. I've only been watching horse racing regularly for 10 years, and he's the best I've seen in that time.

Arromanches.....Gander was that the horse that caused the big brouhaha at the Spa? Wasn't he like 33 wide at the finish? Refresh me.

Oh I WILL!!!
The story is long...I've been with this one since he was two.
And when he retires, he'll come back to the farm to live out his days.
Just wanted to give you a "heads up"...he had a nice 4 f gate work a few days ago...breezed in 48.2.
Look for the blue silks with the big white "V".
Good luck!
