It's a really good race. The biggest reason, of course, is that they aren't running the DeFrancis Dash this year.

Has someone else taken over duties for Idiot Proof?

Ah yes... good point.

3rd race Thursday is as good as the Fall Highweight, most years. The Churchill card is also excellent, might be skipping the turkey time this year :o

Bruce Levine.

Stormin Normandy a scratch?

Dutrow... who knows?

Jamie Theriot and Robbie Albarado should get a mount in that race.
They might be able weigh in at the scheduled weight.

Is there a ml yet ? plz tL me 2 big underlays?
 

this may be the last chance to get a big juicy underlay on Fabulous Strike before they retire his beloved *$$.

If Songster gets big money as well, ... why I'll eat a turkey!

:rolleyes:

Idiot Proof's non-synthetic record is pretty stellar.

Don't know what to make off that effort on Sunday :zz:

Without lookings at the PPs, it seems like it sets up for a closer

I wonder who pg1985 likes.

PP's
 

What possible reason would they retire him for?

my psychic says he is on the downswing and decisions will have to be made next season. ~~Class Relief or Retire after the layoff and a light stakes or two.~~

I'm hoping he takes a lot of dumb money on thanksgiving, but the markets and economy have been stingy lately. The highweight isn't exactly a huge draw of extra fan money. If he is as low as 3 or 4-1 you get a fat underlay but not the 2-1 you really want to see. You kind of have to call Songster a punk and hope he isn't right for this as well. I was hoping the ml would set Strike real low - haven't seen it yet.

My understanding is that they might get one more race for him and then stand him along side his sire at Lane's End.

I told my friend Teddy that Fabulous Strike might be retiring soon and a great chess player fan thinks he will. He offered to sell me lifelong breeding rights to fabulous strike for just $20!! Holy Guakamole what a deal!!! :$: :$: where can I find a nice cheap broodmare or two to breed to him?

wait a second ... Fabulous Strike is a gelding ??
