2 Courthouse Houghton T D 110 L
3 Le Jester Thornton T 112 L

4 horses?!

Same exact thing that just went through my head. :eek:

Yes! Now there are two threads on page one that involve two of my three current favorite horses at the same time.

What a sad sad day for Hawthorne. Not up to speed on what Le Jester is doing, but Courthouse has yet to clear his NW3X...the same condition he had not cleared when entered in this race last year....and the same condition he had not yet cleared when racing in August 2005. Not saying that to be mean, because I like him a whole lot -- but seriously, it's insane.

Then again, he's gauranteed a check just for showing up.

Does this race ever have more than five horses?

I look for Master Command to win this. I think the horse has really developed into a nice older horse.

Is this the first time a Graded Stake race at Hawthorne was ever carded as Race #4?

At least the Sixty Sails managed to attract a field of five.....with a 115lbs highweight.

What would "graded stakes placed versus males" do for the value of a female? If I had a decent one, I'd take a shot in here.

Weren't there six last year? Three Hour Nap, Summer Book, Courthouse, ________, Evening Attire, and Colita?

I can't think of who the other horse is though...maybe I'm just making that sixth horse up.

Can I enter the race to take the 5th place $$?? It may take me 10 minutes to get around the track, but it'll be worth it. :)

What do they do with that money?

Well, like I say during football season (minus the s)...

Geaux Saint!!!

Nkosi Reigns, I needed him 3rd for a nice trifecta for $5, as usually
he ran fourth

Yep, that's it. And I needed Courthouse to run second to hit a BIG tri.

I keyed him in second with ALL on both sides of him. Then stupid Summer Book edged him out late for the place.

Summer Book... oh, the memories.

Such a joke, I was going to unload on a DD but I can't even do that because they can't put them next to each other. Can't wait until Arlington just buys them and takes Illinois completely over. Would be so much better.

Yep, you got me there -- Florida was definitely NOT the first time that horse screwed me. Though at least in Florida I had intentionally put some money on him -- the wrong money, but money still :)

My mistake. Six horses. I wonder how they found a starting gate big enough to fit that many runners.

I didn't intend it to be a smartass comment, but ho-hum anyway.
