In Baltimore

[PhantomOnTour]

We all arrived yesterday and are about to head to Old Hilltop for a subpar Thursday card...but who cares!?
I am on vacation with brother and father and it's time to get down-n-dirty.

We will be in the Sports Palace today, and weather permitting, on the apron outside tomorrow. Don't know what we'll do if the rains persist into tomorrow afternoon. Weather man says massive rains tonight but hopefully we will clear out for tomorrow's card. Surely to be off the turf tomorrow though.

If you are a PA member come on over and say "Hey". We will be easy to recognize....we are the guys who bet a lot but never go to the window to cash. Look for the massive pile of losing tickets, and you will have found our table.
Seriusly though - i will have on a blue Air Jordan shirt and possibly a Commanding Curve hat.

Phantom, have a good time!

I'm going....just turned down 500 in the flesh....

[wiffleball whizz]

Didn't see the phantom when I did a sweep up the stairs....

Hoping PROXIMITY puts the cards down tnrw to go back to his old roots

By the way at 2:24pm I officially sold the tix.....I couldn't pass up 650 for them...


Anybody who was at pimlico today how the F didn't the 5 go by the 8?!? In the first

[Saratoga_Mike]

Well sold on the tix - now just show up Preak Day around 11 am or so and you can buy tix for face value.

Wow.....that didn't even dawn on me.....I sold my parking pass and the braindead didn't even ask for it


The only reason I want to go is for $2 win tickets....I just bought some on eBay


I'm assuming if I buy them fridsy it takes away from the value

My brother and I often head downstairs for a smoke and to watch the races by the rail...must have missed you...damn.

About that #5 in the first race...I bet him also as that Kevin Boniface dude almost always puts over a winner at good odds on Preakness weekend.
Some very strange results today.
Racyn Gracyn had absolutely no business winning the race he was in.
Paid $121.00 to win and no one saw that surprise coming.
Managed to finally recognize that speed was good on the turf and we hit a nice exacta in the finale by keying on the speedy #9.

Will be on the apron tomorrow very close to the winners circle wearing my Commanding Curve hat...come on down and say "hey" if you are around.

Whizz- come sit with the common folk on Sat in the old grandstand. We are usually in Section FF around the 1/8 pole or so.

Have a fantastic time Phantom... :)

That "Kevin Boniface dude" :lol: ;
His Dad , William , would bring many longshots right off the farm
they owned . No public workouts back then . Deputed Testimony their
Preakness winner and farm star likely helped pay many bills for Bonita Farms , I'm thinking and I hope that the farm is still family owned .

Have yourself a great time !

I figured some folks would get a laugh out of that. He has the heaviest Maryland accent I've ever heard, and doesn't Deputed Testimony still hold the 8.5f track record at Pim??

I did find that funny and I figured you knew the family
history
I know he held the record but not sure if he still does .
Have to check that out . Huge part of their family, lived
out his life at the farm to until the age of 32 .

I recommend sitting next to Wes Welker.

Did you see the Bloodhorse article?
CD wants almost $15,000 back from him because they overpaid him
Un-be-leeeeeeeeeeevable :faint:

Any whispers about turf races (on/off) Saturday?

[PhantomOnTour]

I expect all Stks races to stay on turf, but wouldn't be surprised if the earlier ones come off, and there's a few early in the card.

[KingChas]

About what I figured.
Thanks ;)

[Tom]

So many scratches today I just finished writing them down!
Decimated what was once a great card.
Hope they get a better shot tomorrow - sad to see a good day go down the toilet. But I have lost hope that tomorrow will be anything special.
I'll skip handicapping tonight - why bother?

This could be a premonition of what awaits Belmont when they put all those stakes on one card June 7.

Pimlico won't be too bad tomorrow.
As for Belmont another story.
4 turf races scheduled.
Race 3 possible < 4horse field.
The other couple why handicap just wheel the 13-14-15-16.....MTO's. for 50 cents. :D
