Just before the 5th race on Thursday, water pour down from the third floor near one of the concession stands. The security just put a couple of trash cans there to catch the water. I left after that for the long ride back upstate. Well, I've
been to all three NYRA tracks, won't likely be going there soon again.

The third floor is really where to go. I should have told you that. Either hang around or get a table in Equestris. It's the best place there by far.

There's a pair of 40-somethings I can think of that might be good together on that show...

Angliana will be 3rd choice. If you really like this horse this much, giddy up Andy. I still think CC will be in front a very long way on the artist otherwise known as Iron Gavel.

Now can D Money get it done in the 7th? Or will Hes a Lumberjack cut them all down?

I hope I'm wrong.

But I understand, a " fan " like you knows the game, and was really just kidding around.

Those were definitely the days.... I have to add others to that list like... Boom Towner, Fabersham, Senor Cielo, Golden Tent, Electrojet, Unreal Cupcake, Take A Powder, Miss Pocket Court, Unreal Mot, Via Dei Portici, Strategic Reward, Skip One, Farmonthefreeway... and about 100 others.. it was a fun time to be a racing fan.... even in the winters at Aqueduct.

I bet Farmonthefreeway when he broke his maiden....think he paid around 7-2. It was at Saratoga......Richie O'Connell trained and, believe it or not, Diane Nelson rode.

When she won the Prioress a couple years ago the race should have immediately lost it's Grade 1 status...

I remember Lukas getting Farm's half brother, Sudden Impact, the owners paid somewhere near a million for him.... If they ran $5 claimers he would have been in over his head.
