If they read your prior post first, or even see you in that impending fedora, nobody is going to **** you.

Nope

Maybe wishful thinking on her going up tomorrow

My thought process is this, if she goes to the Oaks, and Stardom Bound is in the race, she is 2/1, if Stardom Bound isn't in the race, she is even money or 4/5. Either way and 6/1 looks good to me

Well I just got back from the track and while the racing was good, the freaking weather ......sucked!!!!! :mad: Got totally soaked getting some shots of Rachel but it was worth it, not the the day was great of getting good pics. She was a beast! She did not turn a hair in the paddock or in the post parade.....wait she didnt turn a hair in the race either. :D Man, she was never asked at all, sitting there just chillin, and when they turned for home she just skipped over the slop and couldnt have blown out a match after the race!! That is one bad b**ch!!!!:{>: Off to bed, but will try to give a better report tomm. But I will say this, JohnnyV just killed me on the ride on My Pal Charlie, and I gave him a standing O as he walked back to the jocks room too! :zz:

I am going to Byk's friend's hat store tomorrow to buy a fedora and will probably go to the OTB at 4:45 and keep an eye on the pool, 6/1 and I will push it through.

I consider her even money to win the Oaks right now which is why I am considering this.

Phil, you going to the Derby?

I'm moving to Kentucky in a couple weeks. Depends on the cashflow when that rolls around. Will certainly be at the Oaks, however. We may just have a Derby bash instead this year.

Rachel is from the prominent 1-o family .

King Glorious 03-15-2009 01:55 PM

He absolutely has to consider the Arkansas Derby with her. If you have a horse that has to be considered in the top two choices for a $1 million purse, you'd be a fool to not go for it. Even a second place finish versus males would look better on her resume than winning the fantasy. And it's more money. He'd be a fool not to go there and a bigger one not to even consider it.

"Maybe" wishful thinking?!

There is one way you could maybe get 6/1. Wait until the last minute (6:29pm) and bet $50,000 on "All others". Then jump on the 6/1 you'll see on Rachel A. and hope nobody else is paying attention.

Dang, while I was composing, the odds on Rachel A. dropped from 7/2 to 5/2. You may have to bet more than $50K on #24! ;>)

She seems like quite a filly, very impressive.

But I'll find her hard to cheer for with Calvin acting like such a showboat before the race is over. Get a clue dude, act like you've been there before.

Well, there's celebration and there's showing someone up. It seems Karma is usually watching when you get a bit big for your britches ... then it likes to bite you on the ass.

The way he was acting, my first response was to keep watching the replay and head-on to see if someone had bumped him or tried to block him or anything confrontational...
Actually she was so tactical and Borel had such a perfect grasp of the timing, that she accelerated out of every opposing bid before they developed.
Then Borel and P.Val gave high fives following the race, so he didn't appear angry.

Borel is one of my favorites, I do think he overplayed his actions in this one though.

PPerfectfan 03-16-2009 12:59 AM

Calvin doesnt have a mean in his body, what he was doing was just for the joy of being on a great filly! It was nothing agianst the other horses or to put them down, just celebrating what he was on. When talking about karma....after the crap he has been through in his life he will get Street Sense ten fold. Please dont think he was trying to be disrespectful because that would never be his intention. Kent D...yeah, but Calvin...no way!

Exactly.

Didn't Mike Smith start losing his hair right after he did that throat slash celebration after Sky Beauty won a race?

Didn't Randy Moss get traded to the Raiders right after he pretended to pull his pants down?

What he did would have got flagged with a 15 yard personal foul had he been playing NCAA Football.

The only thing I can think of less appropriate and less cool then celebrating so excessively like that ... would be to post a link of Scav interviewing a porn star.

The Indomitable DrugS 03-16-2009 08:25 AM
