Didn't Deputy Glitters win this race last year?
Whatever happened to him after that?

see MNR Memorial Day H. thread.

I am leaning towards Sedgefield and Moyer's Pond in this one. Will wait for pp's to make concrete decision. Moyer's Pond looks to be on the improve, loved his rail surge(I think) in his last.

Now we're talkin'.


Let's get ready for the Run For The Thistleys.

Not a horrible field considering the inexplicable decision to move it to the first weekend in June when they had a nice spot in mid-July last year. Happened to be in Cleveland for the weekend and saw a nice race between Glitters, High Cotton, and Flashy Bull.

Without the PP's, Moyer's Pond ran awfully well to be 2nd at LS last out...

Yeah, that doesn't make much sense to me either.

maybe declans moon will be entered

That is pretty weird. I haven't thought about this horse in 10 months, then I ask about him in this thread only to discover that there is a thread about him right now on page one!
How strange and uninteresting.

Horrible decision to move this race the week before the Belmont.

Sedgefield is an obvious contender and should be short odds.

I guess that doesn't make sense to him either.

Unlike most other sports in Cleveland, we know there will be at least one winner.

sedgefield a possibility for the third jewel...but if he runs here, he's my choice.

Now I understand your admiration of the Belgium Onion.




BLECH.

Indians will win the World Series

Cavs will go to the NBA finals

Browns will finish 9 and 7 and get the wild card

Thistledown will have a great Ohio Derby.

The state of Cleveland sports is good right now.

I'm not so sure Thistle will have a great Ohio Derby.

OOOOOOOOOO

OOOOOOOOOO

Well you never have so why should they?

Morty doesn't look quite as cute as that guy in person.....or so I've heard.

I've had many a good Ohio Derby....

Not sure if I ever have had a great one.

Except for last year---I always tried to catch the Ohio Derby and Fort Erie's Prince of Wales Stakes in person.

does anyone outside the state of cleveland really care about the ohio derby?

Since when is Cleveland a state?

ummmmmmmmmmmmm

thanks man. i was just curious if anyone would be stupid enough to correct me on the obvious.

in all honesty though, you have to know that cleveland pretty much is ohio, and i doubt that you can count cincy, since it's home of both springer and the dillmanator!

I've never really spent much time in Cincy....but from what I hear---there are statues of the Dillmanator everywhere throughout the city.

Well this thread does exist ....does it not?



The incongruity would be The Human Vomit Joke.

A reality skewer if there ever was one.




How 'bout that Michigan Derby!

------------------

I didn't know you were allowed in person.




Aren't you on permanent surrogate DrugS appearances only?

Yes.

Well at least toss out some guidance here.


I like Xchanger.

What does Emily in the Thebby suit say about that?

Emily would say:

What the hell is this guy talking about?!

Through the powers of IM....I asked her if Xchanger would win the Ohio Derby, or if she thinks he's toast after getting burned up in a hot pace battle in the Preakness?

She said I'd know "ALOT" better than she would.....

She also said.....

"found a letter you wrote me a while back. I still have your arrow head from your favorite necklace... you said you were giving it to me because it was cool and colorful like me:) lol so sweet!!!!"

Dear God.....of all the pathetically lame things I've done and said.


Needless to say....I just asked for my arrowhead back....and assured her that it was a lot more cooler and colorful than she.

She thinks I'm joking.......

I'll keep you updated on this developing story Mortimer.

And now back to the Ohio Derby...............................:rolleyes:

I think I'm ready to throw the hammer down on Officer Rocket. Word has it he's been training well. If he looks good on the track, 200.00 accross the board. How long is this race? I hope Xchanger sets a hot pace and OR runs em all down late.

Oh boy.

Ok so it's 1 1/8th -Perfect
