I think so too.

It's odd though, usually by this time I'm head over heels in love with a two year old by now but it seems like all the best babies raced during the week when I was still at work. :D

I think the Stakes races were much more enjoyable this year than last. While Bernardini was a treat, his races didn't offer much 'thrill' to me since I like a good battle. The Whitney always delivers though.

All in all a good (and at times very interesting) season. Beautiful weather forcasted for the weekend and if the cards are this good on Sunday & Monday the meet will go out on a very high note.

watch the monster debuting in the 6th in about 45 minutes from now.

did ya see that?

that's my favorite horse's 2nd spectacular 2yo debuter within the last week too!

indyanne was awesome last week.

No I had to miss another due to being at work. :mad:

you're a mess!

first you miss the one good week at toga, then you cant sleep because of some important meeting, and now you missed the awesome indian charlie debuter because of work??

priorities!

Chatain is out.....

edit - Maybe! (Hope he runs, hockey)

I for one can't wait for the forego...praying for an 8-6 exacta....it would make my day:)

unblieveable run from the inside. unreal filly.

Well my weekend's officially ruined. . .

still hope-

Late Thursday morning, Penna said that a blacksmith was designing a special shoe for Chatain to wear in the $250,000 Forego so that he doesn't pound his heel. If Chatain were to gallop comfortably over the track with the shoe on Friday morning, then he would run in the Forego.

The Woodward is a very nice and evenly matched race. One has to wonder if Lawyer Ron is able to run like he did in his last race. Who knows which Corinthian shows up. I am excited about this race.

He's out.:mad:

I love the Attila's Storm- Lawyer Ron double if it is offered. After the free $5.80 Street Sense-La Traviata double last weekend I will gladly take another easy chalk double.

I always end up using the "Awesome" horses (Awesome Twist & Awesome Gem) on both costs because they always seem to close into the exacta or tri.

Super card...last chance to make some $$$

It's because you're awesome. :cool:
