VOL JACK · #2 08-28-2007, 02:31 PM

he'll go to turfway park. 9-29-07

SentToStud · #3 08-28-2007, 02:31 PM

I'll probably be there either way.

I saw Funny Cide lose at the Mass Cap and would probably go see Street Sense win. Besides, Boston rocks!

I was planning on going anyway, so I would love it if he ran there!

Sox game after as well. What a day that would be!

Just close your eyes until you get back to Boston.

Hell yeah, I've been looking for an excuse to get out there anyways.

holy cow, i wasnt expecting such enthusiasm from the out of towners.

what do people like best about boston anyways? getting lost while driving and wondering where the toll road exit you used yesterday went?

the architecture is pretty cool there, but man, driving through there is a bewildering experience.

I went to college in Boston, there is so much to love....but of course, I never had to drive.

Got a kid outside Hartford and usually spend some time in Cape Cod in September. The Commons, Old North neighborhood, Fenway, the Cape. What's not to like?

I leave the car at the Hotel, and take the T

yeah, boston is pretty cool, but driving there is usually a terrible experience.

i did figure out finally a surefire way to get to the colonial theater, but they haven't had anything real interesting there lately anyways.

i will head down for the mass cap though, street sense or no street sense.

After taking a look at Revere, you'll want to get back to Storrow Drive as soon as possible!

I was born and brought up in Boston so needless to say I have a bit of a bias here. Learning to drive as a kid in Boston was survival of the fittest on Rte 128 and there you learned two rules.

1) Never impede anybody's progress

2) He with the biggest and oldest car gets the most road

So the the "78" cadi going 85 in the far right hand lane on Rte 128 is doing just fine by me.

(refuse to call it Rte 95 nor will I put up with the reversal of the numbers on the exit signs they changed in the 80's. Honestly how do you go from being Exit 50 going to Salem one day to Exit 26 the next. .... )

I love SS going to the Mass Cap. It's like a rock and roll tour to help out a struggling track that didn't even have the race funded last year. Now if we could just get RTR or Curlin to show up we would have something......Hard Spun will never race again IMO.....off to stud we go hi ho ho!!

The tracks put out these rumors based on nothing. I heard the same thing about the Super Derby. If he is going to ship anywhere out of the midwest it is going to be LA where they have offered him a $1,000,000 purse and it would be against 3yr olds and 9f.

Right now you have to think it is between LA and Hawthorne.

When did you graduate from college and leave Boston? Since then Revere Beach has become a place to live, all new condos.

The Governor is going to announce his support for casino gambling in September and sadly if Suffolk doesn’t get slots it will be the next condo development in Revere.

i hate when people stoop to using facts and logic in their arguments.

I spent 3 to 4 weeks every summer growing up there. I love that city, it is like my second home. If you can drive in Boston, you can drive anywhere...

i wonder if it'll be the mass, as the ky cup is at turfway, and it's poly--a surface that street sense hasn't run his best on...and of course, hard spun may go to the ky cup, since he has a win there. you'd think darley wouldn't want the two to square off til the bcc.
