7/26 (CT): Rampillion runs 3rd, is claimed..
 

I spoke with Linda this morning and she's still targetting Rampillion's next race to be at Charles Town. The race she has in mind is in the book for next Sunday afternoon, July 26, and is a $C10k nw2 going 6.5f, which at CT is a two turn race. Purse is $21k.

Entries will be taken this Thursday July 23 for the race on the 26th. Since the race is listed as a "substitute" in the book, there's always the chance it won't get used, or it may overfill and Rampy might not get in. CT's entries typically come up on Equibase pretty early in the afternoon on entry day.

Keep in mind, none of this is cast in stone so if an extra race comes up on an overnight that Linda feels would be a better spot, a switch may occur.

The list of tracks for Rampillion to run at expands on Sat Aug 1 when Laurel Park re-opens for an 11 day summer meet.

Thanks for the update.

Not able to make this race. I really need to get to one of her races.

Just looked up where Charlestown was on a map, it's not easy to get to.

not even for me.:o
actually not as bad as it looks.

Road Warrior Weekend
 

I'm in. I'll miss the girls run Saturday I'll be in NC celebrating 18 yrs of wedded bliss,but I'm hoofing it in early from NC and should arrive in Charlestown by 2pm. Darren have me a beer waiting.:D

Happy Anniversay - maybe you'll get a winner's photo for a gift. If I recall correctly Mrs. DD got a winner's photo last year at AP with KNS for her birthday :)

of course...... the one weekend there's a race in my backyard and im off to greensboro for a wedding, unbelievable timing

hope everyone has a great time at the bullpen

-bt-

If you guys are looking to fly in for the race, Washington-Dulles is about an hour drive from the track and BWI is about an hour and 15 minutes. The track isn't as hard to get to as it may look. If your looking for a hotel the Casino hotel and Holiday Inn Express are the two best in Charles Town. You can also find a hotel in Frederick, MD cheap and its about a 25 minute drive to the track.

yes she did and it was preakness day.

Thanks for the wishes I hope you are correct.

it's been pouring here for a couple hours, with more down pours on the way.:(

sun's out and wind blowing......... for now.:rolleyes:

just wanted to say good luck to the Pills and her DeeTee Partners, will hafta catch the replay this evening - go get em girl, and safe trip !!

anybody have a update on whats going on ? almost post time right? not on hrtv today.

6th hasn't gone off yet.

k i seen the 324 post eastern i assume and thought it was ready to load. thanx

Any place to get live video feed for the CT 7th?

Twinspires.

She is 6/5 right now....no Steph Beattie so that is a good thing. Good luck!

espn.com has it

Seven minutes to post, jocks up now, good luck everyone!

Won the photo for third. She was claimed.

used very hard to get the lead from the 10 post going round the 1st turn wide...went as hard as she could for as long as she could...hit the wall at the top of the turn into the stretch..hung on for 3rd......

was claimed

I, for one, am sorry to lose this one. If the speed can be controlled she can be a nice claim. Unfortunately, that is the business.

I know it is the game but I am really sorry to see her go. I never got to see any of her races live. Does anyone know anything about the outfit that claimed her? Not sure she could have any more love or admiration than while with DT. I wish the best for her and her new connections.

Yeah when I met Ramp last year at CD Training I fell in love instanly. Best of luck to new connections.

I am sincerely sad to see Pills go. She was always a pleasure to work around and put a smile on my face every morning with her little rockstar hair do. She tried her heart out everytime she ran for Dee Tee. I hope her new connections treat her with love and respect and like the princess she is :)

i'm not surprised at all to see rampillion get claimed, she's a good claim for whoever picked her up. still too bad tho, but it's the nature of the beast...

While Rampillion certainly did her job well for us she is limited talentwise and isnt not without her own physical limitations/issues. The claim was not totally expected however it is always a possibility for an in-form horse with conditions at the lower levels. I don't follow CT very much and have no idea who the people who claimed her are including the trainer.

losing Pills is tough for me. she'd gotten to be my favorite in the stable. she ran her heart out every race. i got to see her first race for Dee Tee, the win and today's claim. good luck to Pills with her new connections.

Thanks to linda a. for her work for Dee Tee.

another good day with partners dave b. and his dad, randy s. and his wife and tom b.

Another fun DT outing. Thanks to everyone involved today. I think Dave said it best. In one weekend DT has seen a full range of the swings this game brings. From a disappointment of last place finish to the excitement of a win to the dismay of an unexpected claim. Good luck Pills

claim her back.

Just feel kinda empty this evening. I became a big fan of Ramps from our first visit last fall. She may not be the biggest or most talented filly out there, but I always appreciated how she gave us an honest, hard running effort each start. Her win at Delaware was one of those special days I will never forget. And being able to visit her at Bowie was a great treat as well.

Though I will miss her running under the Lime Green and Blue Dots, I wish Ramps and her new connections much luck and continued success.

Overall, still a fun day at Charles Town as its always enjoyable to spend a day at the track with fellow partners, family and friends.

Just wanted to thank everyone in Dee Tee Stables for the opportunity to train Rampillion. She was a nice filly and was in great shape when she arrived from Chuck's barn. It was great meeting all of you who came out to her three start here in the east. I hope to see you all around sometime.

Heartfelt thanks to Linda Albert for her willingness to get involved in the 'Dee Tee experience' and for the terrific performance of Rampillion in her care. Everyone who made the trips to Delaware, Bowie and Charles Town had memorable times, and the Mid-Atlantic expirement can only be termed a complete success. Thanks have to be added prominantly to Tom Baldwin (phystech) for initiating the program, and we hope to turn around and find a new runner for Linda quickly.

I guess I'll ask the question. My understanding was that the Aldeb/Rampy partnership was a "close ended" deal versus the previous. Is this true and how are purse funds and the claim money being distributed, if at all?

Hi LInda - thanks for taking such good care of our girl. She looked good in all of her starts with you.I am sorry that I never got down to one of her races. Looking forward to the next horse.

Please keep us posted with any news of Rampillion in that circuit.

Thanks again.
