Is Terlingua making a comeback?

She was such an exciting runner! I hope she comes back sound.

Yeah -- Coastal Dreams just romped by 4 lengths at odds of 1-to-2 after the early scratches of the two favorites.

Most of the fines and rulings against Brooks have to do with his behavior and conduct on the grounds.

Kind of surprised about that -- he's a big guy who dresses in $2 t-shirts and $3 gym shorts and likes to gamble. Always friendly and joking with me when I talk to him.

Good thing Dutrow doesn't stable horses there. He might actually be suspended.


9.60 was a sweet cold double there to close it out.
/not redboarding

just saying 9/5 over 1/2 was an nice surprise....was expecting closer to 6.80

Looks like Brooks has three in tomorrow at PID--any thoughts on these? 12-1 in the 1st and a 2-1 entry in the 7th.

I picked the 1st time Tom Cooper horse on top in the 7th race -- even though it is 20-to-1 on the morning line and looks 200-to-1 on paper off of its last three "efforts"

Does Cooper have access to a private training track? Two workouts off a 7 month layoff, both around 1:03? What am I missing?
