You are right about that. I will prob have to sit out Hoolywood this year. But I love that friday night racing.

But The Big A has plenty of opportunity for money.

always.

people want to hate on Aqueduct,
but its there from the time the Breeders Cup momentum ends to the time of the Kerby Derby trail ends.
the months and dates are not glamarous, but they are important.

i'll take Aqueduct(inner or outer) over just about any track in the country.

been good spending Sunday evening talking with you guys.
thanks for the clarification on Santa Anita Blackthroat.
I was thinking it started before Christmas, but I guess that would not make sense.

talk to you guys later.

YES, YES, YES!!!

I <3 you 'pent..

I hate Belmont. Hate it. Don't get me wrong, it's beautiful and scenic and all that, but it feels more like a museum than a racetrack, and it's impossible to get to. Plus I almost always get my ass kicked on their races.

Aqueduct though.. Aqueduct is my home away from home, and although it may not be as aesthetically pleasing as Belmont, it's got a much more welcoming feel on the inside and it actually feels like a racetrack!

I can't stand the inner track meet, and almost never play it, but I'd rather spend a day at AQU than at BEL almost anytime.

interesting you say that.
I know Gander always prefers Aqueduct also, but I think he actually likes Inner track more.

Ive never been to any New York area tracks, so I can not comment on the visual appeal of either.
but I know this, I will take an nyra track over anything else anytime of the year.

Umm guys?

Does it make you really wanna quit betting once all the Grade 1's go away for the year? Have fun betting your 6-horse fields all year. What I mean is... I do so much better betting 5k **** claimers at Mountaineer, and there's an endless supply of those races. So why do you guys pack it in for the year?

For betting purposes there's still plenty o' action. Sorry it doesn't involve Bernardini.

But Dellinger- If you're taking the winter off after the BC, have a good winter and pop your head into the board to say "hi" from time-to-time. Lata
