Anything in the sheets/racing form? First for new trainer, but the new trainer is only a 14% winner with first time starters. Always hoping to learn a little bit
Me too... someone explain to me what happened. Damn, that was as close as it gets for Drifty.

Dead last at the eighth pole.. THE EIGHTH POLE...

Best part of that win is Calvin Borel... The camera on him before it bacame official was priceless... Totally underappreciated guy that grinds it out. I think Randy Moss said it was his first Gr. I win which amazes me...

Wild.. wild.. wild..

Carryober at CD and BEL tomorrow...

Holy ****! A Continental.. and a denizen of Wertimer Hall..

Spent many a night at Alteri's 1978-82 where we'd go to watch hockey "pre-cable"... Was "voice" of Red Raider Hockey for 4 years.. Called 2 games from Sage Rink as I recall.. The oldest rink.. AND OLDEST ZAMBONI in existence. At that time, Greg Batt was the HC coach.. He was a Colgate Hockey legend. Must have been 75 then and still coaching. Was at Hamilton maybe 40 years.

Pretty funny.. From Rochchacha? I get there regularly. Doing business with Wegs.. Had tons of friends that were at 'gate from Roch. Brighton especially..

There's no real surprise here ...

... the older horses this year are simply dreadful ... the G1 fields have been no better than allowance quality. Someone has to win these races ... and today "someone" did ... a Zito castoff no less.

Lava Man is the only horse who has really shown any talent and consistency. Maybe someone will come off the bench and do something nice ... but until then ... we'll just have to wait for Mayan King to reach his best form in order to have something worthwhile to cheer about.

I had a steady diet of Alteri's and the VT(Village Tavern) during my 4 years.
They opened the "New" Sage Rink while I was there. I made it down to a few Colgate games myself. Never had a chance to golf at Colgate though, I've always heard it was a great course!!
I'm guessing this means you know where Vernon Downs is?!?!? Thursday nights were great for college kids......a beer and a dog for $1.....
Weggy's is a great company, I think they are now the No. 2 employer in Roch.
