Springsteen Hunch Bet at Churchill

[andtheyreoff]

While I know Churchill is persona non grata around here, there is a horse in the opener today I have a hard time passing up: the :2: , Gypsy Angel Row.

For those less fortunate, that is a line from Springsteen's song "Spirit in the Night".

So if they're PNG, why start a post about them?

Because it's not about "them", it's about a horse I thought had a cool name. Get over yourself.

If it wasnt about them, why post the "persona non grata" stuff?

Also, if it was about a horse with a cool name, why not just post "hey i saw a horse with a cool name, the name of the horse is this, and his breeding line is that"

Why even mention Churchill in the first place?

Why even mention Churchill in the first place?Becuz the horse in question was racing there today? Maybe? Possibly? :bang:

So, it wasnt just a cool name, it was a wagering opportunity at a "persona non grata" track.

Gotcha. :D

After almost a year off, she's back on the worktab: five furlongs in 1:01.2 yesterday morning at Keeneland.

At long last, Gypsy Angel Row is entered to make her debut today: in race 11 at Churchill.

Hopefully, she'll be "born to run".
