Oh, and by the way, don't let anyone stop you from the head bashing.

I remember being involved in this race and thinking before hand what a bad maiden race it was. None of the firsters were live and i watched the winners replay of her first race and thought she had a chance. BTW hit it right when she rode the bias and won. She's not that impressive in the flesh also. But one thing Contessa does well is sell. He sold that bum of a late running sprinter last winter to those California connections. Cant think of his name now but he ran against Achilles last winter and sold him for a good six figures after winning for 75k....

That Contessa horse actually showed up in the entries the other day for his first race in about eight months. He was a bum. He actually ran in the Gotham, Mig rode him, and he was ninth by a million. I can't remember his name either.

Hey Oracle. to the best of your knowledge does Contessa sell the horses himself or does he deal with agents. I know he's constantly trying to peddle of his cheaper horses himself, just wasn't sure about the more pricey ones.

Mr Tater, LOL! I thought for sure Ziplocked would run good and I would have bet him had he not dippd down to 3/1 with 2MTP.

Kevin gave me this rat Lucky Straight who was also in that same race and I believe he finished on strongly for 5th!

Nice one Kevin.

Mike, no head bashing please. You'll get a headache and be of no good to us tomorrow when handicapping Philadelphia Park.
