Place a big wager. WONDERFUL odds on him. I hope he wins by 10!

Buffymommy 06-02-2006 01:35 PM

By the way are you at the track right now?

Downthestretch55 06-02-2006 01:46 PM

No, I'm home in Stamford recuperating from oral surgery, man! That is something I wouldn't wish on anybody!
Thanks for the nice wishes.
I hope he hits the board. I keep saying that 5.5 furlongs is too short for him.
We'll see. My partner, Sharon, should be there for the pic in the winner's circle. I'l be there for his next race.

Good luck, DTS. :D Hope you feel better.

Thanks Cajun.

Nice run at the end there! Almost got up for 2nd! Congrats DTS.

PSH 06-02-2006 03:34 PM

Congrats
 
DTS:

Congrats for placing third.
Looks like might have been able to get 2nd if the jock hadn't swung him too wide. Anyway, looked good the last 1/8 mile... and picked up a check..

Thanks everyone!
Big sigh of relief...

Big Daddy Ray is a nice horse. I hope he runs longer next out.
I've liked him since I bought him as a yearling and helped with his training at the farm. He ran hurt during his 3yo races.
I think he'll be fine.

wow, thats great Wayne, this one FINALLY gets up and hits the board. you must be relieved after all this time to see that he can run with the rest of em.

Downthestretch55 06-02-2006 03:54 PM

Thanks Paul,
I'm pretty thrilled. Ray can run all day. Must be the Deputy Minister in him.
btw, Shot o' Bourbon (the yearling filly) is his full sister.

try him at 9f, sounds like he would like the distance,
is he still maiden ?

Downthestretch55 06-02-2006 04:09 PM

Yes, he's still a maiden. This was his first race this year. I like the way he closed after being taken out to the 5 path.
I'm hoping to see him in @ a mile and 70yd.
I'd love to see what he does on the turf but Finger Lakes doesn't have a
turf course.
If he breaks his maiden next out, we might bring him to Toga...
Stay tuned.

LOL!!!
Bring on the carrots!

Downthestretch55 06-02-2006 04:26 PM

So, now the secret's out....
This must be why Oracle likes Finger Lakes....
Big Daddy Ray paid $13.40 for show.
The 1-8-7 tri paid $3,124.00
and the $1 super, 1-8-7-10 paid $8,623.00.

Now please tell me you had it.
