$900k son of Unbridled's Song out of My Miss Storm Cat!!!

Oh my God Steve :{>: thank you and I love you and I might not have seen this cause I was only gonna play Flemington but then I thought well wait no cause Monday is a holiday and I figured maybe I just should NOT look at PP's since I did so horribly with Dubai on Thursday so I decided fuhgettaboutit and OH! :D

I am SO SO happy you noticed this cause (okay now I feel) all things aside I am the biggest (like I'm having) pedigree moron and my eyes might have glazed (a panic attack) right over and (must.... breathe....) and, and...

Thanks Steve.

If he has a fraction of his moms speed..... :tro:

Note to self -

Breathe in...

breathe out...

breathe in...

Yea!!!

For anyone who doesn't remember her...

Really? :eek:

Hey where did you get the "let" part of horselet (TM :D ) anyway?

Your enthusiasm is contagious !!!

Much like the the rash I have on my..oh never mind

you are :cool::{>:

I'll have at least $20 to win and $50 to place on (Anna Maria) Albergatti.

Can't pass a hunch like that from this board.

Her PP's

Okay but please be advised I'm not responsible just incase (Catholic guilt and all). :D

Thanks for the pp's, RobFla! Short and sweet. :tro:

(This heading really is funny cause on any other forum I've ever been on my name has always been sunday). :eek:

Well here's hoping this one has a long and stellar career. We shall see! :)

Hey, I was baptized Catholic, AND I'm Irish. I understand your guilt, and feel your pain.

That's why I have to have that guaranteed bet down tomorrow.

(I did win a little at Golden Gate Fields today, so the wager is play $$)

Are you expecting a really "big one" for him or you think he won't fire?

Good luck today, MMSC et al. IF I get over to OTB, I'll probably throw down a $20/win wager. Wonder who's betting against because of the JJ/SA connections?!~

Good luck to all of us today and yeah Westcoastinvader I hear you... I'm Italian so just toss a few helpings of drama in with all that guilt, and... :D

Who do ya think, Princess? :D

I did get over to OTB and did put down a $20 win wager on him.... on a hunch.;)

Good luck. Would this be equivalent to watching your son's first soccer game ?

My son plays golf so at least I didn't lapse into a coma this time. (KIdding)!

Well. If it makes anyone feel any better I never change my plays BUT thought nah I don't wanna play across the board at those odds and any other horse I wouldn't play anyway so changed it and put it all to win. :wf

He briefly had the lead in stretch, but the #1 horse came back on.


When he was bet down to 4/5 for a couple ticks I almost started re-thinking the wager. But I did end up a $5 winner....which was my admission to the OTB.

Nice race though.

I just checked Equibase for the results of the race since I couldn't watch it live. He made it close. His mama would be proud. :)

Looks like a 2 turn colt to me.

He probably is a two turn colt, but not on that trach, it's a ridiculous speed
bias, these races aren't even worth watching, it's like the old Keeneland, as long as your in front turning for home you win, no matter how good
or bad you are, it's ridiculous.

Why not on that track?
You are arguing against yourself here...He was on the lead going short.
Where do you think he will be if he goes long next time?

I would like to see these horses relax and make a run, especially if they have Derby plans, everyone knows though you can't close so these horses are being ridden accordingly, they seem to flatten out from being rushed into the race.

The first quarter was 21.67.

Abergatti had to work hard from the #7 post to get to the lead battle with the eventual winner on the rail.


He was outside the whole route.

Just a January allowance race, but it rang of Alydar and Affirmed.

:D
