Just got done emailing Oaklawn re: all horses wearing the same color. I'm going to keep my eye out for this from now on and won't bet the track followed by an email telling them why I won't bet there any longer. I know a lot of players like us do not like this new fad and it's time to put a stop to it before it becomes industry-wide.

Glad I could not make it today..I agree with the same color numbers on the horses,I hate that..Shame on them for doing that..I use to take a friend of mine named Charley to the dog and horse track dowm in Tampa Fla..That would have been a good hunch for me and glad I diden't make it..Sorry you had a bad day Rick it happens..Better luck next time,there's always next time..

My Pal Charlie is not my pal. He finished out of the money. Gayego won paying 6.40 to his backers.

Now that I'm in a bad mood I want to vent on something...what genius came up with the idea that all saddle cloths be the same color??? We cannot see the damn numbers while they're racing and rely on saddle cloth colors to track our horses during the race. When they are all wearing blue saddle cloths that are flapping in the wind obscuring the numbers, it is virtually impossible to track your hor... [ More ]

# 5 Monba won the Blue Grass paying 19.60. My horse is still running. Not a good day so far...my last hope is My Pal Charlie in the Arkansas Derby......

HA! So much for a sure thing...Golden Demand placed paying 3.40 and 2.80.

I was going to bet a C-note on her to win and my son advised me against it...listen to your children...I did and saved myself a hundred bucks.

My pleasure, tiggs.

I'm playing the Oaklawn card today and just came across a very solid play in the 3rd race at that track.

# 4 Golden Demand (9/5)

I don't see how she could possibly lose....she's tons best of the field.

Tiggs, an exacta box on those two would be a good bet.

I bet online now using twinspires.com. It's a great alternative to OTB.

Blue Grass Stakes - Sat. 4/12

There is a wealth of competition in the Blue Grass Stakes and it includes some serious Derby contenders...among them are # 7 Pyro (1/1) whose late running speed is EXTREMELY awesome and a very talented # 1 Cool Coal Man (4/1) with a good #1 post position, and # 11 Halo Najib who ran a kick-ass race last. The competition is not apparent looking at the morning odds line but half of these horses can win it.....and remember it's a prep race for the real deal.... [ More ]
