If I hadn't just finished a grand tour of the coasts I would think about heading to AP for KNS's race and stay for Aldeb's. That would be a nice long weekend. As it is I am having a tough time justifying the trip to AP for the
23rd. Best of luck to all that are able to make it there.

Hope she doesn't get claim!

I hope the Catman is heard scolding Brandon Meier for messing up when the race is over. :)

Nice post. Last 3 Dee Tee wins have been from post 4 for whatever that's worth.

Me too! I am actually kind of nervous about going.

I guess the Catalano horse would be claimed first, but it doesn't help that ours is cheaper!


good luck Kickin!

If you lose her, you'll know where to find her.

The way she acts in her stall someone could paint her white and you'd still be able to find her.

So if they took her it would be a classic case of the Ransom of Red Chief - hope they (whoever "they" are) keep that in mind, because imagine her disposition is no secret around the backstretch ???

And they canned a bunch of people at my job on Monday (oh no, not Friday payday, a@#$hole corporate bosses made em sweat it out all weekend ) so odds of calling in sick are highly unlikely and the chance of getting to sneak a peak at the race real-time online is even more highly unlikelier if there is such a thing - so thought had better type this out now -

Good luck to our girl KNS :{>: and come home safe and sound

If anyone can post updates before/after the race, will truly be appreciated :o

Go get em girl !

Gimme more money to waste at the Spa???
 

Good luck KNS :)
.....your the reason I've even been able to play this dreaded Spa meet! :mad:

Hey Triple H.... Tell us how YOU really feel about the 2009 Spa meet ! :D

Good luck to our girl & go Team Simon !

My meet so far is like how the Raiders play! :D

good luck and safe trip KNS and good luck to team simon

Good luck to KNS owners and Dee Tee (and safe travels to Rampillion and her connections today, too!)

KNS
 

Good Luck my Beauty Queen, I'll be watching you as usual. Make sure someone takes plenty of pics since I can't be there, I really enjoy looking at her pics. Hopefully she'll be a good girl and they better not claim her or I'll be upset. TC also says Good Luck to Dee Tee Stables.

run like Usain Bolt! GO Kickin!

She looks good, pretty relaxed so far.

4th, hopefully no claim.

7-6-1-4 was the order of finish.

Paul

she just got nipped for 3rd. Looked like there was no pace to close into. She was also stuck behind the wall of horse, no hole opened up, the 1 did not come off the rail. she had to go 4 wide to get around and get up there.

No claim. :)

Frankly, I don't think she got the greatest ride today and she never had a chance to win. I don't understand the middle move up the rail and then falling back to second to last only to restart again. He should have gotten out and at least given her a chance to run at the 6 and 7.

It does not look like she got claimed.

was just able to sneak a peek at the chart - really really good news to find out KNS :{>: still ours and sure hope she comes out of it okay, am reading the #5 Superfinetime was pulled up and vanned off :( - will watch the replay tonite and check back later for any news from the barn - best to all...

Good job everyone! Hope she comes back OK.

Superfine Time was fine.....

well that's good news and thank you - it's always an unfortunate thing to have to read in a chart but the point really gets hit home hard when you have one in the same race, all of a sudden it's up close and kinda personal lol...

am sorry the race didn't set up for KNS better, but hey that's racing - guess we'll wait to hear from Chuck on our next options for her...

Totally agree...This horse consistently runs her best efforts making one big late run from the outside. TT should know this by now. I pretty much knew when she was rushed up the rail going down the backside it was "good nite Irene". Even if a hole opens up on the rail...I'm not sure she is the type of horse to run up through it. She seems to be most comfortable, with no horses to her outside. Can't say she's better than the 7...but no way she should have finished worse than 2nd against this field. Hopefully she came back fine and we live to fight another day.

It was a kind of weird ride and she wasn't given the best chance, but she also looked like she just didn't have it today.

But hey, she got it done last time so it's ok! And she was nice and calm in the paddock - very nice.


I did get a few pics but I can't seem to upload them because it exceeds the limit. If someone wants to PM me their email I can send the photos and maybe they can get them up.

She was nice and calm because Cherie went through every precaution with her, including ponying all the way from the barn to the paddock(!), she is such a handful, you could have three people walking her and she would figure out a way to cause problems.

Not to defend TT, because the ride was a bit questionable, but watch the head on and see what he was trying to do there, if he didn't make that middle move with her, he would have been trapped in 6th instead of 3rd because the horse right outside of him(#3) would have drifted over when going into the turf, exactly what the 1 did into him.

Cherie or KNS?

I know your playing, but to protect myself, KnS :)

How did our gal come out ?

good but tired
