Generally speaking, if I'm posting here I *am* having another drink. But I guess I can have ONE MORE.

Thanks Danzig!!!
I'm having wine as well. The new farm is coming along nicely. I just made a 150 mile trek today to pick up 6 gates, some stock tanks and a couple more rolls of Centaur fence. I shamed the poor guy out of a feed scoop, a big-@$$ pumpkin and a bunch of pens with the business name.

And I see that you are a Redskins fan??¿¿ Me too, born and raised in D.C./suburban Md.

I get e-mail alerts for every horse that dies in the world.

This is how I feel everyday...

Do you type your name in case you forget it and need to go back to previous posts for reference?

Absolutely! Very good. That, and I'm hoping to start a new trend here on DerbyTrail.

Yes, Cardus!! Very well done. That is my intention. I've been known to mesmerize the unsuspecting into a *coma* with my use of the asterick mark. But, notice, I don't always use it. I like to switch it up with quotation marks and caps.

I roll like that.

Cajun said...I think it was blackthroatedwind who told me that I wasn't a real bettor, and he's right.

That's pretty hardcore. So if you care about the horses you bet on your not real?

Guess I'm not a real bettor either, although there would be others to tell you differently.

Seems like we're all *drinking* now. I'm copying *Suzanne*.

Nah, that's not what he meant by that at all. I just don't take the gambling aspect of it as serious as most do on here. I enjoy putting a few bucks on the horses when I feel strongly about one, but that's about it. Shoot, it's embarrassing, but the only times of the year I spend more than $100 on a race day is during the Triple Crown and Breeders Cup.

And there the two collide, which is what happens on these boards.
But OK, that's a clearer synopsis, I get what you're saying now, well sort of not saying for him.
While I don't make a living at this I do fit in both worlds. So am I real bettor?

ByTheWay, Love the new avatar......although I did like the predator series.

After Super Frolic broke down - I went back to the Asmussen barn to have a look at him - he was in very bad shape in my opinion.

When I asked The trainer who's deputizing for Steve Asmussen and Darrin Flemming about his status - he told me that there was suspensory damage. I asked if he'd make it....and he said he'd know more in a few hours.

I was the only member of the press that day who went back there - I was going to go back again after the last race - however, my biggest bet of the night was in the final race, it won and paid $26.00 - and in the excitement of that..I forgot all about making my second visit back.

Scott Lake's Cantrel broke down as the post time favorite in a stake race on opening day. The post time favorite has now died from the result of an injury suffered during the race in two of the meets five stake races.

...and we're all lucky you chased that ambulance cuz when there's a veterinary emergency at the track one of the crucial elements necessary to assess and stablize the patient is a pen-and-notepad toting megalomaniac trying to get a scoop...

Congrats.

Ding, ding, ding...I am safe now. No way I can win the "Dumbest Post of the Day Award" after this gem.

I watched from afar until he was taken care of and spoke with the trainer as he walked to the track....in the process of him watching yet another loser run under Steve Asmussen's name.
