Here's something Freddy - one seat at the bar at Laurel. RC walks in with his girlfriend and proceeds to take the seat, leaving his girlfriend to stand.

Now if that doesn't get you fired up.....

I thought this line was interesting...

If NYRA could somehow lure Rapid Redux away from the mid-Atlantic tracks to race at Aqueduct, it would sure spice up the winter.

NYRA doesn't write 5K starter alw races.

And if they did, the only way it would fill is if all shippers enter.

I suppose if they wanted to try -- they could write a $7,500 non-time restricted starter alw race -- and offer weight breaks down to horses who've started for less before.

Make the purse 50K. Get horses who've started for 5K a good weight break via the conditions. Ask the connections which distance they want the race at (probably 8fs) and you'd possibly have him there for it...even though it's doubtful he'd be able to win such a race.

I suppose it could spice up a weekday card and make for a fun betting race... but I don't exactly think getting RR to race in NY is high on the priority list yet.

Some coincidence. Or is it?

It's not.

And in other news, Rapid Redux is being laid up for the winter.
