No, I'm home in Stamford recuperating from oral surgery, man! That is something I wouldn't wish on anybody!
Thanks for the nice wishes.
I hope he hits the board. I keep saying that 5.5 furlongs is too short for him.
We'll see. My partner, Sharon, should be there for the pic in the winner's circle. I'l be there for his next race.

Congrats for placing third.
Looks like might have been able to get 2nd if the jock hadn't swung him too wide. Anyway, looked good the last 1/8 mile... and picked up a check..

Thanks everyone!
Big sigh of relief...

Big Daddy Ray is a nice horse. I hope he runs longer next out.
I've liked him since I bought him as a yearling and helped with his training at the farm. He ran hurt during his 3yo races.
I think he'll be fine.

Thanks Paul,
I'm pretty thrilled. Ray can run all day. Must be the Deputy Minister in him.
btw, Shot o' Bourbon (the yearling filly) is his full sister.

Yes, he's still a maiden. This was his first race this year. I like the way he closed after being taken out to the 5 path.
I'm hoping to see him in @ a mile and 70yd.
I'd love to see what he does on the turf but Finger Lakes doesn't have a
turf course.
If he breaks his maiden next out, we might bring him to Toga...
Stay tuned.
Wayne

So, now the secret's out....
This must be why Oracle likes Finger Lakes....
Big Daddy Ray paid $13.40 for show.
The 1-8-7 tri paid $3,124.00
and the $1 super, 1-8-7-10 paid $8,623.00.

Now please tell me you had it.
