You posted this at 3:40 AM?
Man.......do you EVER sleep?

4:40 Eastern...but I think Steve is a machine. ;)

Oh yeah, I forgot that is shows it to me in central time, but he is in New York.
So he didn't get this up until 4:40 AM? What a lazy bum!

LOL....was just thinkin' the same thing.

MY TYPHOON IN the Diana

That was pretty easy. The rider rode her just the way u should when there is a pacesetter that u don't have to worry about. She's been a class filly for a while now. Very underrated though.

And 3-1 was a gift on her.She should have been the fav.

Damn, missed it.

Did Abraaj win yet?:cool:

Next race

My Typhoon is a really nice filly, but if she is better then Citronade then we are getting whipped in the BC race at 11 furlongs, she aint going that far.

I bet Saint Addan, Attila's Storm, Benny the Bull and Simon Pure. I have said for a while that Commentator can't win this type of race. He better not.

I think Diabolical has a big shot here!!

Great ride by Mario!!!

There went that.:D

right now Diabolical is the clear best sprinter in the country as he has a very versatile style. He is reminiscent of a sprinter like Cherokee Run who can attend a fast pace yet finish.

She also might be facing Nashoba's Key in that race.....whew what a BC F and M Turf race it will be!

I am boxing Soul Search, Miss Shop and Plaid. Might as well play the three longest shots when u have no confidence in the favorites.

I like Ermine.

Dead Last!!

Brokeback Werner. WTF, cowboy! This isn't Retama!! Git your ass back to the sprint races!

anyone think Sun King has a shot here?I kinda like him.

I don't. I'm going with Papi, Flashy, and Diamond stripes

Just got a sick feeling watching that. It's another dark day for racing.

That was an amazing race! Ron just blew away the competition and broke the track record by a whole second. I am sooo happy! YAY RON!

i'm going to play a p4 of my typhoon/ginger punch and ermine/diabolical/lawyer ron and fairbanks.

Did PG1985 give you that one?:D

So Lawyer Ron is now the fastest horse to ever run 9f at Saratoga.......by far?

I'm glad that Lawyer Ron won though. I was ok with him or Magna Graduate or Brass Hat winning. A race like the Whitney should be won by a legitimate stakes level horse. I'm trilled to death that Flashy Bull and Papi Chullo did nothing. It was funny watching people get all excited about them beating allowance horses and talking about how they had turned some imaginary corners.

Congratulations to those who won money...but that race was about as realistic as professional wrestling.

so your thrilled when horses do nothing?

I found these to be hilarious,

yeah so even though you can't pick them, by all means have a laugh at others
when they fail. you picked 50% of the field in the Vanderbilt and in the Go For Wand and couldn't pick the winner in either. great job!

I'm a horrible handicapper. Everyone knows this already. And yes, I'm very thrilled when overrated horses do nothing. And umm, there is a difference between picking a winner and who u bet. But u already know that. I picked Magna Graduate to win the Whitney but bet Fairbanks and Brass Hat to win. Go figure.

So a horse sets a new track record at Saratoga by two ticks,and all you have to say is smart ass comments.You need to find something else to do with your time because all I ever read from you on here is negativity.

Eat a bowl of dicks.

my first thought when lawyer ron crossed the line was that i sure missed invasor.

oh well, someone had to win it.


but, i sure enjoyed the diana, highlight of telecast.

I kinda felt the same way. It looked like the best horse won it and I'm glad that Lawyer Ron has been a legit horse for a long time so it wasn't a fluke winner or anything like that. But for me, when they showed that final time, it made the race lose a little bit for me. I don't know why but I just was turned off seeing LR not only break the track record but obliterate it.

one question... do you ever have a winning day?

yeah, lawyer ron has had his moments...when he's on, he's pretty good. but i was absolutely stunned that he broke the record--altho after seeing diabolicals time, i guess it's not quite so hard to believe.

i guess i just never in a million years would think lawyer ron would suddenly be the leader of the older horses. guess that shows what kind of older division we have.

only salt in the wound called the retirement of bernardini.

I did today. Do you go a day without reminding someone you aren't white?

I don't want you to starve to death!!!!
