Worrying about track records or final times, is silly IMO.

None of my competitors scare me.... I am more scared of driving in the snow/ice.

yikes being in Cali I thought you wouldnt have to deal with that weather hassle. So how did you make out today with the horsies

I'm in Wichita KS(no OTB or tracks near here) and I will be on the road for the next 7 weeks for "work".

well, i hope he gets to keep midnight lute in training...because i don't know what will happen with midshipman because of his new owners.
and then i read this from drf:


Where and how Midshipman prepares for next year's Kentucky Derby is uncertain. John Ferguson, a racing adviser for Sheikh Mohammed said "there's every possibility" the horse could winter in Dubai and be transferred to trainer Saeed bin Suroor, but "nothing's definite".


at least he has vineyard haven.

He is by Unbridleds Song and out of an Avenue of Flags mare.
He'll be lucky if he can still walk by next May.

worrying about and not recognizing arent really the same thing. If the times are so unimportant then why do we bother keeping them?

At least the times and splits were correct, and not triggered by outriders.
