I love the horses. I can't imagine a more enjoyable day than being at the racetrack with friends.It's tough when there are this many horses, but I am betting on Medaglia d'Oro. Good luck everybody! ![[Cool]](images/icons/cool.gif){kind=icon}
Be careful beach king...word is that he is sick...has a cough...
I love going to the track...what tracks are close to you?
I spend a lot of time at Keeneland in Lexington, Ky. I was there last week.
i am trying to get a hold of a guy who picks the derby every year. he has kicked ass every year that i have been following him. i will post his plays tomorrow
PRIVATE EMBLEM, CASTLE GANDOLFO,SAARLAND AND PROUD CITIZEN- 4 HORSE TRI. BOX....ANY OF YOU GUYS GET UP TO SARATOGA IN AUGUST...20 MINUTES AWAY
I have a relative who lives real close to Saratoga. I've never been, but was talking about making a trip this summer.
Man...talk about different opinions on the Derby. You and I couldn't be further apart.
Good luck with the exacta.
I JUST THINK WHEN YOU CAN GET JERRY BAILEY AT THAT KINDA PRICE AND A LUKAS HORSE AT THAT PRICE YA GOTTA TAKE A SHOT...IF YA GET A CHANCE MAKE THE TRIP CAPPER, YOU`LL WANNA GO BACK EVERY YEAR
I AGRRE WITH YA ON FRANKELS HORSE ..LOOKIN FOR IT TO BOUNCE OFF OF HIS LAST EFFORT
I'm about 90 miles away from Saratoga. Just got back from the local track (Vernon Downs) What a bunch of nags! LOL Nothing better than harness racing ( at least until tomorrow LOL)
i never bet on horses.i'm curious how you can predict a animal.how do you know if he is gonna be ok to do good or not.just wondering guys???
I used to live at Brandywine Racetrack in Delaware. They had the same crappy harness horses, but I won. I was depressed when they closed.
Bailey didn't come through for me today with YOU. I really liked her today, but that's life!
boxer...you have to simply go up to the horse and ask him how he is feeling. <img border="0" title="" alt="" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />
Seriously, I bet the horses every now and then, but it is for fun. If I go to the OTB and break even I consider it a good day. It's relaxing for me...much more so than sports betting.

At least none of my horses died on me tonight. I had 2 keel over on me last year. One was winning by about 8 lenghts coming down the stretch and just stopped, dropped and died. And it was about a 20-1 longshot!
i see.maybe i'll go to the meadowlands racetrack and bet some horses.the track is only 2 miles from me. <img border="0" title="" alt="" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />
oopie...i had a horse at 11-1...jump the fence turning for home...jumped into the lake and needed about 20 people to get him out...not my night...
boxer...they like carrots and sugar cubes...during the post parade bribe your horse with these goodies... ![[Wink]](images/icons/wink.gif){kind=icon}
