They are actually showing this on NBC today!

quite the tough 5 horse field! i'm kinda hoping for it's tricky because she appears to be a crazy bitch, but it would be nice to see plum pretty on top again.

i WOULD have been on Joyful Victory's side because I used to really like Larry Jones. His temper tantrum after Blind Luck beat Havre de Grace has kind of turned me off him.

thoughts?

Plum Pretty by 1 1/2 over Royal Delta then Joyful Victory

Baffert, Mott, Jones. Sounds about right.

i'm just glad nbc is showing it. did you read about larry's fit he threw?


who you got in the read at del mar? they scratched the mare who was supposed to go fast up front.

i love caracortado and have his whole career, but i'd like to see smart bid get it.

Yeah its always nice when they show racing on network tv. I didn't read about Larry. What happened?

Im kinda slow to get going today. Rough night.

I love the Saratoga and Del Mar meets

Eddie Read = Caracortado/Smart Bid/Goldwaki

I really liked Kid Edward but he scratched too along with the filly. Kid loved the turf at Del Mar and the distance was perfect for him. fricking SCR. He was 15/1 ML

he keeps whining about the 2 lbs that Havre de Grace carried over Blind Luck. Apparently he was crying about it before the race and he and Porter went straight to the media after saying that was the only reason she lost. Not really the kind of publicity racing needs right now, and it really showed them to be poor losers.

If these two keep meeting they will probably keep trading wins. he needs to get over it.

He also will only rematch in the personal ensign if they double the purse



i would love to go to saratoga one day...



and sorry about your rough night

kieran just said they had trouble getting it's tricky's halter on. apparently that's a good sign for her

Wow he's acting like a little bitch. Hope his bullshite doesn't keep those two from locking it up agan down the stretch. They always battle it out.

Diana next week is shaping up to be a solid race. Two Motion fillies going,

Royal delta looked a bit washy before the race. Not bad, but a little covered.

Like I said... Gotta love the crazy bitches!!

Alabama will be better than the travers.
