Householder...

If it was this last Saturday, it had nothing to do with the racing. It was Michael Jackson. There were millions of people from all over the world in LA all week, even now there are.

MonicaV...

Thanks. I may try that. :)

You don't even approach being correct regarding Smooth Air. He's a very good horse,way too good for so called fans like yourself to slam!

Stardusty Rose,

If you want to see Zenyatta, try calling her trainer's barn at Hollywood Park. Try going to the morning workouts. If you can find out when she's working you can watch her workouts and if you talk to the trainer, he may let you come to the backside and visit her. I went to some of the major farms in Kentucky and visited the best horses of all time. Secretariat, Slew, Affirmed, Alydar and the Bid. Most people understand fans that love horses. It's worth a try because seeing your favorite horse up close and even petting them is a wonderful experience.

Bet against Smooth Air and won again!! This horse has been so overated by some it's a joke. More often than not he tires in the stretch, this time in only a mile race. Connections were hoping to find a weak G1 field somewhere this year so they could get the G1 win out of him. He's not worthy. Has lost to mere classified allowance horses in a minor restricted stakes race and low level G3 horses to name a few this year. Time to hang it up.

I saw Zenyatta's last race. I think it cost me $6.00 to get into Hollywood and very few people were there for a Saturday (I think they are getting ready to close the track for good). So for $6.00 you can see her at Del Mar. It looks like Baffert has a live one with Zensational. I know he got a weight break but he sure can dance with the older ones.

A brave, fearless ride by Elvis Trujillo aboard Presious Passion in the UN Cap. And, the horse responded with a supreme effort, shattering the track record. Congrats.

Well, Musket Man is now out for the year. Looking back at my program for the Kentucky Derby, I have to ask, where have all our top 3 years olds gone? Of the 19 horses that ran in the Derby, only 4 or 5 of them appear as if they will be serious contenders the rest of the year. I suppose, however, that the California contingent may perk up when they return to synthetics.

Zensational looks to have a decent shot tommorow, espcially is some of the other speeders with more weight don't want to get cooked by running with him, hence giving him the lead. If he's able to relax i think he could pull this off.

In the Tom Fool I'll go with Munnings on top, FS second, then Rilely Tucker. We shall see how i do. Right now i'm wondering if i shoud place a bet. Yesterday i got the top three in the Bashfor Manor right and today i called Coal Play on top for the Salvator Mile. But i won't bet, because with my luck if i d my horses will end up checking in last, lol.

Just so you know the 1 in the

Triple Bend is Street Magician.

Don't know if u can find him in

the big 14 horse field, so just

look for him after the race.

You'll find him in the winner's circle.

My sure shot this weekend is Imformed Decision in the Chicago Handicap. This filly who has won 7 of 9 lifetime & is coming in @ 3-5 has absolutely no competition. This is the kind of stand-out that normally attracts a syndicate to lay down $250,000 to SHOW.
