What!!!??? I thought you liked Ace and wanted him to win. You put me on his back and I guarantee he'd be all out of gas before the end of the warm-up and he will forever have lost interest in racing.

Let's just say I'd have a wee bit of trouble making the weight.

Me too... I would need to drop 30 lbs to get down to 100lbs.

I love Ace..... my favorite horse now that Rakti and Powerscourt are off doing the baaaad thing.

His chances went from being 100 percent with Fallon to, well..... 99 percent so was thinking you could ride him and after the race? Come pick me up and together we'd ride him off into the sunset.

Works for me.

From Arlington barn notes...

Oo la la, now you're talking, no way do I pass up that offer.

I'll let Gomez handle the racing part of it, after the victory photo, I'll take it from there.

Btw, I think the selection of Gomez is a good one. I'm thinking he has a big chance to take it.

I just saw your post on the bragging rights thread and since everyone is behaving and just making picks, I'll say it here...

I LOVE YOU!

Ooops! i mean oh look! You picked Ace too. How nice.

I knew that would score points with you!! lol

Actually it was a real tough call and for me, the toughest race to select. It came down to him and gpk's English Channel. I just think the post will cost that one too much in the end. Ace's two races in the US last year were both very good. little known fact: I bet Ace both times at Belmont last fall.

maybe this year he will make ammends.
