#6 invest West in the first... Horse has won a Grade 2 and Grade 3... But never won a Maiden Race....


I saw # 6 Sammy Moonammy run on 7-5-02 at Belmont...The horse stumbled badly at the start and other than someone jumping out on the track and hitting him with a Baseball bat... he got hit with everything else... He's running today in the the 3rd.


All 7 horses in Tommorrows 4th have earned more than they were purchased for.. That is a much rarer stat than it sounds.. Most have earned 4 or 5 times what was paid for them....

Race 5... a mile and 3/16's... Ok.. By why not a mile and 7/32's?.... Don't see many Mile and 3/16's... That I recall...

My point in the post was that a mile and 3/16 is an unusual distance... which it is... Now put your Needling picky aggravating posts where the sun don't shine... I mean where do these people come from... I make 4 or 5 points on Card and someone picks a hole the size of a needle and responds to that.... people never cease to disappoint me

Why not just 9.5 furlongs? They call 6F races 6 furlong races not 6/8th or 3/4th and 5.5F races 5 1/2 furlongs not 11/16ths...I tell ya, there are freaks running this horse racing show...Fricken Freaks!!! Might as well call it a Freak Show...

Richard,

You named five.

He wanted you to name three.

If you had stopped at three, then I am sure he would have been happy.

Hey...

There are actually more than a few 9.5 furlong races. Up at Saratoga, there are like two every week. Sure, they mean diddly-squat, but they are 1 3/16-mile races...

To Sufferin: Please post your selections under the SELECTIONS
section & begin each Selection with the Race# please. Also,
in your heading, indicate the date (8/12) and the track (SAR)
so we don't have to struggle with perception stuff. Thanking
You (in advance) I remain humble D2U..
