    Fantasy League 1st pick

    I've got the first pick in my Fantasy League. Here is the odds of who I'd take: Priest Holmes 3-5 Portis 5-2 Ricky Williams 10-1 Tomlinson scratch IMO, this is a two horse race. I don't trust Williams enough. He's had injury and weight problems in the past. It looks like the Priest...

    AP Million

    I don't know what kind of betting race it will be, but I am looking forward to seeing Sulamani, who may be the best grass horse in the world. I thought he was the most visually impressive horse in last years Arc when he ran second (the 3rd place finisher came back to win the Breeders Cup Turf)...

    Gamboa attacker gets probation

    The idiots are apparently running the asylim, as a judge sentenced William Ligue to just 30 months probation for his violent attack on KC coach Tom Gamboa. The judges rationale? "The players behavior encourages fan violence". The judge must have been sucking down the same loudmouth soup that...

    Lisa Guerrero

    Has been named to replace Melissa Stark. Definite improvement, IMO.

    Early look at the Belmont

    The field is now down to 6. Contenders: EMPIRE MAKER--arguably was the best horse at Churchill, racing wide on both turns. 5 week rest probably did the horse some good, and Frankel is the best trainer in the game. EM also had a minor foot problem Derby week that forced him to miss 2 days of...

    NBC dropped the ball

    Horrific camera work by NBC on the Preakness. For the entire final furlong, the camera focused on Funny Cide, instead of giving the pan view which would've included the trio of Peace Rules, Midway Road and Scrimshaw fighting for 2nd and 3rd. Then the instant Funny Cide hit the wire, they cut...

    Pimlico Pick 4

    Races 9-12 Kind of strange they threw in the garbage 7500 NW2 race in with the 3 stakes. On paper this looked very playable but that was before the rains hit and took the grass races off the turf. (9.12) with (5,8) with (3,7,8) with (1,10) I was planning on spreading deepest in the 9th but...

    Pat Day

    Churchill's all time leading rider and one of the great riders in racing is mired in a bad slump. 22 straight losses but more significantly 12 of the 22 losses were favorites. He reportedly had back spasms and took off his mounts in the two days prior to the Derby but you have to wonder if...

    Derby controversy??

    The Miami Herald is reporting that a photo of jockey Jose Santos shows he has some object in his hand after crossing the finish line. It could be nothing, or jewelry or something. But it does bring up the possibility of a buzzer, like what happened in the Arkansas Derby a few years ago...

    Saturday Belmont Pic 4

    Races 6-9 6th-(1,3,6,7) The 7 horse Shake You Down will probably be favored off 2 straight 118 Beyers. But both were on sloppy tracks at Aqu. Also, he's never run at Belmont. Peeping Tom ran a good race despite trouble last week at CD. The concern is the short rest and the lengthy van ride...

    Angle of the year so far

    Fair Grounds form has been burying Gulfstream form. This has really been evident at Keeneland and now Churchill and also Hawthorne. When a race has ship ins from both FG and GP, the FG have been toying with the supposedly superior Gulfstream animals. My guess is its the surface that they...

    Canadian posters

    I have a question for you. A few years ago, maybe 3-4, the local PBS station here in Chicago ran a TV series that was made in Canada called "The Newsroom". Very funny, very dry type of humor. Is this show still being made? I was wondering if they had anything on DVD. I'll never forget they...

    Eye of the Tiger

    I'm not saying this horse is going to win the Preakness, but I do believe he is the "flying under the radar, likely to be underbet horse" at Pimlico. He finished 5th in the Derby, less than 3 behind Atswhatimtalkinabout. But it wasn't a clunk-up 5th. He was in 4th tracking a fast pace and was...

    Miami to ACC?

    That's the rumor. And the ACC may also go after BC, Syracuse or Va Tech, hoping to get 2 of the 3. If that happens, I wouldn't be surprised if Pitt jumped ship and went to the Big 10. Pitt would be a decent fit in the Big 10, and already have a natural rival in Penn State. Then I would...

    Derby and CD undercard

    No time for undercard analysis. Heading out to the track soon. He are some gimmicks I'll probably be playing CHURCHILL RACE 1 Pick 3 part wheel (1,6,9) with (3,4,5) with (2,5) RACE 5 Tri part wheel (2,6) with (2,6) with (1,5,10,11,12) and (2,6) with (1,5,10,11,12) with (2,6) RACE 7 Pic 3 part...

    Ky Oaks day stakes

    They're already going on the 6th at CD. I hate the early post times. 7th- A 5 furlong turf sprint. Most of these horses faced each other on April 12 at Keeneland. I remember two horses having trouble in that race: Abderian, who was blocked for a good portion of the stretch run; Testify was...

    The Derby and favorites

    FACT: Anyone remotely familiar with horse racing, or anyone who even just watches Sportscenter, knows that only one favorite has won since 1980. What they don't mention is that the Derby is often run with 18-20 horses, so there is a greater chance of getting bumped, traffic etc. If the Derby...
