I remember Lady of Venice and Panty Raid. Both stakes winners at Hollywood Park.

6 year redboard, but I made a nice score on this horse early in the Saratoga meet. Might even have been opening day. Flew home inside late after a crazy pace in front of him with Castellano up.

I caught Baymont for a $20 win and a very nice triple that summer in a 3 horse blanket finish. Tri was $300. Moorebella was one of the other horses. Schettino trained Baymont.

I remember Sinkwitch quite well.

He must have been a 2yo in '06 b/c he ran up until a year ago or so..

From memory, a Frank Alexander turf sprinter. Now I will look it up and see how wrong I am:o

Turns out I was right about everything except the spelling of the horse's name, Sinkwich.

Debuted in 2005, this son of Trippi broke his maiden at Belmont in 2006 on the dirt, switched to turf sprinting later in his career. Finished up at Mountaineer in 2010.

It's always nice to look back. I'm with Vic, I remember Lady of Venice (Friday Night at Hollywood's Stakes win) flying late as usually. She reminded me of her better known stablemate Gorella -Biancone trained both.

Panty Raid helped me finish a nice PK4 on Blackeyed Susan Day while on the air (ATR with SB).

It was opening day. I was kicking myself for not loading up on him.

baymont was the lobster trifecta.i had it 8x..then went to the store and the roundtable ate like kings..

also steve..d money was del caroll..in the last race of the day !!

Jelly Roll Rumble...I chased that hanging rat more times than I care to admit.:wf

I was there that year that D Money won the last race of the day. Was hanging out with Gander and he made a nice score on him.

:tro:

I need to get back up there sometime. Went 3 straight years in 05, 06 and 07. Haven't been back since.

dont think ill make it.unless last week.. will be in austrailia mate.

One of the bad things moving to Roanoke was losing the Southwest Airlines flight to Albany out of Norfolk. Used to score cheap tickets. I just checked prices for flying out of Roanoke for opening weekend and the cheapest is $450. F that.

*Note to BT and Heels...if you are reading this, it does NOT mean I am remotely interested in a day trip. Not a chance in hell.

I remember Rondo around the Kentucky circuit. Once he went to the turf, he was short odds, run off on the lead and fade in the stretch. I think he finally won a couple of races at Indiana Downs. Some of my friends would always "throw him in my exacta and tri" since they are UK fans......don't think it ever went well.

went to the works most of 06 at toga that summer.befriended guy from t.a.p he said panty raid was very good.. he rolled first out. also discreet cat worked and the drf clockers were acting like he wasnt there.. they also changed to work by 2 seconds..lol

also remember julian stiffing lady of venice 3 wide around the whole track in the diana.. left of my fave horse of the meet.. court folly..195,800 pick 4 was hit that day.. we know someone who really had some good info on the 6 that started the play . he didnt tell us about it..and we happened to know songster was tired..he lost..as he singled that one.

I recall Oedipus Oneil - I believe Gary Contessa trained him as was ok for a while... Nordberg was a NY bred filly who I don't remember doing anything spectacular but remember hearing she broke down at the Spa and was euthanized
