I'm not sure about the gambling part. I wouldn't want to get upset if the horse I like loses!

Well mostly all of my friends are college students but i certainly don't mind helping a fellow track fan in need.

That is a shame your husband doesn't like the track. But really I can help you with the bets it makes it fun, and you won't be too sad about losing. I will teach you to read programs, that is the first thing you need to learn.

Well, he's a golfer so he's busy on Saturday afternoons frequently. I suppose I could try a bet or two on your advice, how much money should I bring? Is $25 enough for 10 races?

lol 25 is plenty. Trust me for 2/race I can get you started on the right foot and you will have lots of fun.


You don't even have to bet every race, often I find I don't have time because I become so enthralled looking at the horses in the paddock that I want to follow them to the track to take pictures. And then I just stand down on the rail.

Well, considering it costs me over $25 to take my kids to the movies I suppose we could use it on a night at the track instead!

What night would be good for you, do you ever go to Churchill Downs? Louisville is a bit of a drive for me down 71 but I might be able to pile up the ol' Dodge Caravan full of the rugrats... let me know!

Please...if you DO show up, kindly leave your kids in the MINIVAN. I'll be concentrating on MY handicapping.

The racetrack is NO PLACE for kids and MOST broads.

Sir, I do NOT appreciate being called a broad. However, I understand your concerns and I promise I won't let them get in the way- they're very behaved (unless they have too much Hawaiian Punch! ) Can't we just get along?

Hey, Tiz ...

... good to see you over here. I notice that you haven't lost the feistiness and irreverence that you showed on the "other" forum.

With you here ... this place could be FUN !!

Howdy there, Bold.

This format here looks very good.

The Belmont beat me good last weekend. Didn't have Jazil on top in anything !

I think that Bernardini could have bounced from his Preakness, run backwards, and given them a head start and still won for fun. SNS would have been in with a good chance, too.

(back into character)

In my 80 years of following the sport(even though I'm only 67), I have NEVER seen SUCH an anticlimactic Belmont.

I could have run fast ENOUGH to hit THE board in that one. What a bunch of MORONS !

Don't worry....they play THE national anthem EVERY day. Live to fight ANOTHER day and MANAGE your MONEY . Those ARE the keys to success. Follow THOSE rules, and you CAN live like me.

Mr Wisecracker

Is it true your ex girl friend wrote this classic hit? (Charlene?)

Hey lady, you lady
cursing at your life
you're a discontented mother
and a regimented wife
I have no doubt
you dream about the things you never do
but I wish someone had talked to me like I wanna talk to you
Oh, I've been to Georgia and California and anywhere I could run
Took the hand of a preacher man
and we made love in the sun
But I ran out of places and friendly faces
Because I had to be free
I've been to paradise but I've never been to me...
Please lady please lady
don't just walk away
Cause I have this need to tell you
why I'm all alone today
I can see so much of me
still living in your eyes
won't you share a part
of a weary heart that has lived a million lives
Oh, I've been to Nice and the isle of Greece
when I sipped champagne on a yacht
I moved like Harlow in Monte Carlo
and showed them what I've got
I've been undressed by kings
and I've seen some things that a woman ain't s'pose to see
I've been to paradise but I've never been to me...
Hey, you know what paradise is?
It's a lie
a fantasy we created about people and places
as we like them to be
but you know what truth is?
it's that little baby you're holding
and it's that man you fought with this morning
the same one you are gonna make love to tonight
that's truth that's love
sometimes I've been to crying for unborn children
that might have made me complete
but I, I took the sweet life
I never knew I'd be bitter from the sweet
I spent my life exploring
the subtle whoring
that costs too much to be free
hey lady I've been to paradise
but I've never been to me...
I've been to paradise but I've never been to me...

LOL well considering I go to U. of Lou-ville then yeah I go there pretty much all the time it is my "home track."

Too bad but there is no "night" racing there. For that you have to watch the cart ponies down at Red Mile in Lexington. That place is good if you like to see mullets.


Anyway I am rambling. Get the kids packed up and I will meet you, you should come on Stephen Foster day Perfect Drift is running and I have to take pics of him.

Wow, that's amazing! MY HUSBAND WENT TO UofL!!!! GOOOOO CARDINALS!!!

What's Stephen Foster Day? Are they honoring the great man who wrote My Old Kentucky Home? I thought he was dead?

Mullets? I'm a HUGE fan of them! How did you know I like the cart racing, although I don't understand it. They're pretty horses too!

He did no way what year. Do you remember his major b/c I started out in engineering but it was kicking my azz pretty hard lol with all the partying and what with raking in hot ladies at my frat parties all the time that was just more important. So anyways I switched to sociology b/c that's what major I noticed the cute girls all gravitate towards.

Stephen Foster is a race named after that guy, yeah. It will be pretty good. DOn't know if you know Brass Hat but he ran real good in Dubi and will be there.

Haha if you enjoy a good mullet parade than Turfway is the place for you. If you would rather see carts then Red Mile gets going soon I think but I will check on that one. Those horses seem more calm and their heads arenet as pretty but of course that never stopped me from taking pictures.
