You guys are making me dizzy chasing your comments around. Catch up with you later.

Wanda, sorry for the delay, not feeling great. I think my buddy already is hyping that for all of us on another BH blog, man could you imagine?

When we get the cash lets buy Better Than Honour at Keenland. She's open but we should get a foal share deal from pretty well anybody.

Brad, Pardon moi, or excuuuuuse me! I resemble that remark. Actually you're right though.

Wanda, he's just mad because I'm not cutting him in on our horse purchasing deal. The other HH Filly was out of the sale.

TBRacingfan,

What French horse? Forgotten as I counted my hundred $ bills.

Jason, Any thoughts on the horses that won on the grass for the BC, think the Million winner will supplement or just take the money and run?

Bradgm: No worries we're chillin in the hood. We are an hours drive from the mountains so the family went on a pinic. Would I rather be in Saratoga maybe but Jordan giving me the down low it's all good.

As you know Im a huge Einstein fan, but even without his stumble at the start, watching the Million and that European talent enclave...man, I still don't think he would have won. I was impressed

Wanda, I hope my buddy Jordy isn't driving you crazy. He's a shut-in with a busted ankle, ADD, stir crazy and too much time on his hands. But he's still a good guy. No races for us today. He's mad, first we went to Saratoga without him, then another buddy went to a sold out Del Mar yesterday then stayed for Ziggy Marley. He's resorted to watching Harry Potter and on the lookout for "he who must not be named", knowing we fond him here, although relatively quiet. On that breeding and sales deal if you've read that book the other trainer on here recommended it is insane how much it costs to breed, raise and race a baby, wow.

(Gamblers do not eat crow, they win some, they lose some.) not a literal translation but yours neither. We don't weep too long for our losses and I wager Jordan won more than enough on his other bets at Saratoga and Del Mar to console him.

Harlan-Storm Cat/Country Romance by Halo.

Get this I saw Country Romance run as a 2 and 3 year old. Typical Halo not much to look at meaning not pretty. HH is darn good looking, maybe from the dams side Affirmed.

Glad you cashed on an HH. He's sitting second on the 2nd crop list got to get him back on top. Thanks so much for the imfo.

Seems our friends from Gaul had the gall to win both the Beverly D and the Arlington Million. Ces't la vie.

Oh and I guess that was 3 Storm Cat's since Harlan's Holiday is by Harlan who was by---Storm Cat. I think the 4th place finisher was a Storm Cat Too.

Cgriff: Better question who had the winner?

re: Handicapping Arlington Million Day

JordanA — Sat, 09 Aug 2008 23:31:36 GMT

AAAAGH! I don't want to discuss it. 2 out of 3 then the French horse??? Not even my Longshot Silverfoot, at least I had Nautical Storm after I had Flying Private with the Lukas angle at the Spa. Had some exotics. A couple of nice Tri's, Exactas and my 50 across, especially FP the 8th Saratoga bet the two Storm Cat's and then the Harlan's Holiday in honor of Wanda. I just couldn't go with his other 2, thankfully cause dead last. Oh well I had a good day overall.

Is anyone as happy as I am that Silverfoot was flying at the end and almost got third??

$49K in fourth place purse money is still pretty sweet - and he really just missed out for third! And people didn't seem to give him any chance whatsoever of hitting the board!

Not to rub it in Jason, but talk about a price, I just made some major bucks on Flying Private in the 2nd at Saratoga, yippee. Thanks to our friends Aunt and her friendship with Lukas, I went on emotion (and a little bit of FuPeg) and bet the farm (well maybe the ant farm) Now if my other picks come in, the refrain of the handicapper.

Nancy B,

Equibase has something way cool if you want to try it it's free. It's Virtual stable and you can enter your fantasy stable, they notify you of workouts, entries and results of your horses. You can get PP's, pedigrees etc for a price but the free part is fun, or maybe I'm just stir crazy from being homebound too much, am getting out a little the last week or so.
