Add Ventura to this list (Filly/Mare Sprint or Turf Mile) after beating the boys rather handily.

Ace: You're welcome, El Gato Malo is awesome.

Kiss: Yes, I remember him setting that record in the San Rafael. It was a great performance, and I think it means he can compete with the Breeders' Cup horses at his best. I saw the article on Macho Again and Awesome Gem going to the classic, and I saw them mention El Gato Malo's destination. I will be wearing my El Gato Malo hat come Breeders' Cup, and cheering madly if he comes flying down the stretch.

Hey Mike,

I'm doing good, just had my birthday yesterday. We celebrated it early, by going to the track, where i saw Bold Union. I also go to see a filly name Cuvee Uncorked, who is owned by the farm i used to work at. She is a monster, is unbeaten in two starts, has guts, and ran 1.10.1 in slop when i saw her. She'll be one to watch.

Careless Jewel - what's next. Anybody know?

(Also, although you haven't brought up 2YOs yet because it's still early, I just wanna say that my boy Ghost Fleet just got back on track at Woodbine on Sunday. Looks like he really hates grass.)

OK, Time to eat crow! Man, Did I take a beating on my Patriots last night!, OUCH...

A win is a win, though, I will say that Mr. Tom Brady is the BEST to ever play the game, End of story!

The Jets game is looking tougher and tougher...

I just have to take a moment to say that I love you guys!

The only blog besides B-H Blog Stable that I post to regularly is a knitting blog. OMG, it's so PRISSY! The posters get upset if you don't use correct grammar, or if you get off-topic, or if you make a blunt remark. I'd like to send our Draynay over there for a day!

Probably atteneded my last Michigan home football game(at least for a while). What a way to go out. That was a GREAT game vs. Notre Dame and a great finish with the Wolverines winning in the last seconds. The day was topped off when USC went into Columbus and sunk the Buckeyes again. Just about a perfect day of college fottball for me.

What's with the term "Ladies Classic?" Are human women running? If so, it should be interesting, but I can assure you I have NO IDEA how to handicap them. If not, the title of the race is ludicrous.

Tim G — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 04:16:24 GMT

Right Jason, I realized you had Tenn. I just made it about as clear as mud.

Figured you covered the spread.

Saw that you had those 2 bets.

steve s.

Bo can fix whatever she wants as far as I'm concerned!

Taxpayer money? You mean the takeout that goes to the state, or the tax when you win 'too' much?

hellsbelles, the people in the game aren't THAT secretive. At leas not some of us.

Some are just very quiet, private people. Now the people that RUN the tracks? THAT is a different story. They keep secrets from us, LOL.

The sale flew by today, some lookers and man I liked that Storm Cat-Serena's Song if just for nostalgia.

Lauren, Stardom Bound is back in training and they are aiming her at the Breeders Cup Ladies Classic. They do not feel they need a prep race for her. She should be back by the fall races.

Churchill trainers are dominating at Delaware park, so that is a nice angle if you want to win some money.

Jason, yeah, 1-3 is not too good, but the Niner's were a good call. I parlayed Tenn, Philly and Seattle and won big this weekend.

Where are the Euro's now talking about Stacelita? She lost, and got moved up. Dar re Mi is a beast. Going to the sale this week. See you there J...

mike relva,

sounds like you need a vacation. lighten up.

Greg J. — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 17:20:05 GMT

Tiznowbaby,

Even Stacelita's jockey said we all know who won fair and square! I bet even Euro would admit Stacelita didn't deserve the win, But, Then again, Maybe he wouldn't say that....

Steve from St.Louis,

If you want to make your money back, Bet the house on the Patriots winning big tonight, The eleven points is nothing, They don't lose to the Bills, and, Brady is going to have a field day, Final 31-10, Take it to the bank.....The Chargers will also cover the seven, But, I won't touch that game, I always stay away the first week of the season, But, I will make a big exception with my Patriots tonight...

Jason: Believe me, when it's time to hang up my NFL handicapping visor, I'll go quietly, not like Brett who hangs on more than Tito, former dictator of Yugoslavia, who was on his death bed for nearly nine months.

My two best bets both lost, lending credance to opening day being the toughest day on which to handicap, like a full field of first-time starters.

Now we all know what Jake Delhomme knows--that his surgically repaired elbow isn't. His four interceptions led his team into the abyss single-handidly vs. the Eagles, who always were a good road team.

Then, K.C. is tied with four minutes left in the game, getting 13 1/2. I know you were slightly nervous. But a chain of events including a total meltdown on both sides of the ball, enabled the Ravens to quickly post 14 points to cover in the last minute. Reminded me of a basketball bet I lost back in the day in LaSalle vs. Notre Dame. I covered by one point at the buzzer, game over. But a LaSalle player (a la Chris Weber) tried to call a timeout when they had none. The game was over, no time left on the clock, but the technical foul gave Notre Dame two meaningless free throws which became meaningful when the shooter (I forgot who, I was so angry) sank both to submarine my bet. I haven't bet a basketball game since.

They say when you play poker and you don't know who the sucker at the table is, then you're the sucker. Yesterday, I was the sucker. Glad your knockout bet survived.

Greg J., I'm having trouble finding the big bad bump of Dar Re Mi that cost the German filly the race. She totally was robbed. And where's Euro-what's-his-name to tell us how unbeatable Stacelita is?

re: Division Rankings With Two Months To Go

Jason Shandler — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 02:15:56 GMT

Tim: I had the Titans on Thursday. They covered.

Greg: Yeah, tough day for me, 1-3. But I had the 49ers on the money line, so that helped.

In racing, at least I went 2-0 in my picks on That Handicapping Show!

Da3hoss, when Del Mar says it's about maintenance, I don't buy it. That track is a disaster. The more I learn, the more I realize how much I don't know. This sport is all about secrecy. For goodness sakes, last year we knew that the Yankees were sharing a G-string underware... I am not making this up! Seriously, horseracing needs to come clean and stop all the secrecy. People are too savvy these days to be played.

re: Division Rankings With Two Months To Go

Greg J. — Sun, 13 Sep 2009 23:33:21 GMT

WOW,

Didn't anyone see how "Dar Re Mi" got ROBBED over in France in the running of the Prix Vermeille? Talk about a complete and utter disgrace, She did NOTHING to Stacelita, Who was leading until the very end when Dar Re Mi passed her by a neck, BUT got DQ'ED to fifth for causing interference to the German filly Soberania? A complete farce...

Here is the replay, Check out the end, Where Stacelita was ahead then got passed fair and square...

Jason,

Ouch!, The 49'ers look like they will win/cover in the only one of underdog picks, Stick to the Horses :)

I doubt Mr. Moss will run Zenyatta in the Classic. His goal is for an undefeated horse, not to show he's got the best one.

Sea of Stars is more likely to run in the Classic if he ships to Cali. While he's run well at 12 furlongs, he's better at 10, and synthetics aren't such a big difference to turf horses.

Even in the Distaff, I think Zenyatta will get all she can handle. Careless Jewel and Icon Project will be tough customers.
