Racing on Easter?
 
What tracks are running today?

All the ones with a 23 near the beginning of the row.

Biggest ones of consequence are:

Fair Grounds (closing day)
Gulfstream
Santa Anita

Buyer Beware... Gulfstream off the turf, ton of scratches and expecting more rain...

Thanks, I realized how stupid that question was about 5 seconds after I posted it... Shocking that the Magna tracks are running on Easter.

Just joking with you...I know that doesn't come across on the internet many times.

smuthg 03-23-2008 10:28 AM

definitely took it as a joke... it was a pretty stupid question though.

UIt's too bad Gulfstream is "off" today, because it looked like almost every other race was a turfer today...

We got one in the 6th and 7th races today at WRD.

Good luck...I see purses are very nice these days.

From this end of the turnpike it looks like the Cherokee's are doing a good job up there. Do you agree?

Purses are way up and you can actually have a chance to make some money. You can get beer on Sunday at the track but can't get a mixed drink. They have torn the track up at the end each meet because it was in horrible shape. I think they finally got it right. As for our horses, in the 6 th race on of the other first time starters flipped in the paddock and our horse decided to do the same. After that his mind wasn't on races and didn't break well and he got clocked. The next race, our horse started to make a move on the turn and the hole closed requiring her to be checked. She tried to make a second move on the stretch and was checked again. At least, no major injuries occured.

I haven't been to the races there, but stopped by last year to play the Belmont Stakes. I was impressed with the staff and the whole atmosphere of the place. It looks like you're at the County Fair with thoroughbreds and quarter horses. By the way, I had Rags to Riches on top. Then I went on to Tulsa and had a $1000 slot hit at Cherokee. Might try to catch a weekend before the season's up.
