IF Pharaoh doesn't win this race, the horse is nothing special.

No speed, and the only other horse who could show speed is owned by the same guy as AP, so he isn't going to press the pace.

Mediocre field, should be a walk for AP.

I'm sort of interested to serif they put him behind a horse in this race.

At work again so I'm sure I'll miss most of the races, but I'm excited that promise me silver runs today. Hoping for a win! If so I think she'll go for the eight belles. Hubby will already be in Indiana, though :(

yall dont have anything going on at evangeline this year?

they pissed me off. got rid of the odds board above the paddock, for some reason they didnt have numbers on the horses when they came out of the stables, so you didnt know what horse was what until they got in the paddock, and then they changed the announcer, and the new one sucks.

I'm sure we do, just not sure what.

He works for someone different now.

Was hoping to have my baby ready to run at evd in June or July, but we got his knees xrayed yesterday and they haven't closed yet. Apparently he's huge too. Mom was about 16h and dad was between 15.3-16h (I think). Not sure where this size is coming from

He was already over 15.2 last august as a yearling.

I'm sorry the new announcer sucks. Haven't even watched any run from my phone.ay try to go out there for the evd turf sprint card, if I'm off work.

They just hired him about 3 weeks ago. What happened to the other guy? Did he leave suddenly?

There's really a void in track announcers. Larry Collmus being the top announcer is a joke. The guy from La D who was boring and mediocre, now has the Churchill gig.
FG has a good one, thank goodness.

I noticed in the 2 year races at FG, the lack of a Zuppardos line. Horse retire? Die? Or have they moved on from the line.

not sure. all I know is that I thought the other guy was good and unique and this dude sounds boring.

I agree on fg. Love john Dooley.

Zuppardo's prince died a few years ago. I had a friend ask if I knew anything by him standing and I couldn't find anything online. Guess I'm going to have to sit down with the stallion register and look. We've got some exciting new stallions, though. Too bad I lost my mare :(

Looks like the old announcers name was john mcgary. I found and article that says he was going to be doing some announcing for the california state fair races. not sure what that is. He will be missed.

new announcer, sounds so weird and they are off..

This is the first time they haven't used Ils Sont Partis since the track opened.
New guy does have a better "racing voice".
