Loch Katrine Early DD 2,6,7/1 $30.40 for $2 Horrible luck coming home...nowhere to go for a long time. May be a good bet back next week in the Breeders Crown with a better post. Last edited by GPK : 11-17-2007 at 06:58 PM.

Yeah...that horse showed none of the kick he normally does. Sears moved a bit too soon on that 4 for my liking.

Defeated by Arch Madness. D.H. was hurt being 1st over for the first 1/4 mile. Made all the difference in the world.

Just saw Donato Hanover get beat...! Hadn't seen him run, and I catch the race and he loses for the first time in how many races? 14?

Arch Madness is no slouch. He was 1st or 2nd in his last 7.(all stakes series type races) DH was game in the stretch, especially after being parked out for a half mile. Despite the loss I still think that he is a freak.

I think if I get a second chance at life...I want to come back with a name like Trond Smedshammer. Coolest name alive...  Arch Madness is no slouch, but he was razor sharp and Sears took advantage.

You think he is better on 1 mile tracks vs 1/2 mile?

There was a few years where I rarely missed a night they were running. Got to learn alot of patterns, driver tendencies, etc.. I sucked bad at the T-Breds then (I still do for the most part), but I would manage to get back the money I lost once the Big B started running.

I like the mile tracks better. Usually 10 horses a races and good payouts. It's all about the trip on the mile tracks and most of the time the best horse doesn't win. They are either parked out (like Donato was on Sat) or they are victim of a bad shuffle (first one minute, and then all of a sudden you are 5th with no where to go). Also no passing lane to bail people out. As far as drivers go, Sears and Pierce are the best 2 at the Big M. Dave Miller gets hot from time to time. And Andy Miller and Gingras (my favorite) seem to hit the board on prices all the time. And whenever Tetrick drives up there, it seems like live.
At the smaller tracks, it seems like there is always one dominate guy, (Bouchard at Yonkers, Manzi at Freehold etc.) They have what I like to call Jerry Bailey syndrome, that's where they could be driving a zebra and still be bet down to 5/2. You would be lucky to get 5/2 with those guys. Manzi always seems to be 3/5 when he is at Freehold, and people are high fiving all over the place when he wins. Drives me crazy! I know it's not fair to say, but sometimes I just get the feel that some of those small track races are rigged. I don't get that feeling at the big tracks.
