Do you think Castellano will put "Get Stormy" on the lead this time? :bang:

[Jasonm921]

In the eighth race is a first time starter named California out of pletcher's barn that outworked Munnings last June as a two year old. It maybe useless info but it's still info. I made a big deal about it on my flickr site last year so I hope he does well. http://www.flickr.com/photos/easygoer/4722360547/

Anyone going ?
Hey Beachbabe.....I have a sister who resides in Florida. . . . Maybe we'll run into one another someday...... ?

[Grits]

It IS an outstanding card. Hope the weather holds nicely.

[PhantomOnTour]

Always loved the name of this race. I'm leaning a bit towards Rule and a bit away from I Want Revenge at this point...who ya got?

[MickJ26]

Throw in the Whirlaway at Aqueduct and the Strub at Santa Anita, makes for a very nice day of racing.

[keithw84]

I'll be in Palm Beach for a conference and plan to come to Gulfstream for the afternoon. Looks like it will be a good card.

[the little guy]

In the eighth race is a first time starter named California out of pletcher's barn that outworked Munnings last June as a two year old. It maybe useless info but it's still info. I made a big deal about it on my flickr site last year so I hope he does well. http://www.flickr.com/photos/easygoer/4722360547/

He's a likely scratch to run in the opener on Sunday.

[Jasonm921]

Ok thanks for the heads up.

[joanied]

I am really looking forward to 3 races, the Donn, Strub and Las Virgenes:jump:

My selections...
Donn: Rule
Morning Line
I Want Revenge
Fly Down

GP Turf: Battle of Hastings
Smart Bid
Get Stormy
Twilight Meteor

Strub: Indian Firewater
Twirling Candy
Do It All

Las Virgenes: Turbulent Descent
May Day Rose

Have a great weekend :jump:

[eastie]

Do you think Castellano will put "Get Stormy" on the lead this time? :bang:


If that nitwit wants to win the race he will

[Beachbabe]

Do you think Castellano will put "Get Stormy" on the lead this time? :bang:

I don't think he can outrun Little Mike for the first 3 calls.

[NYPlayer]

This year's Donn is pretty tough, but has potential for a nice payoff. I think Morning Line is the best horse, but I also think that Square Eddie could make the triple (he was second in the '08 Juvy). I plan to spread in the exotics.

Goog Luck.

[Beachbabe]

Adios amigos....gotta run.

Good luck all today !!!

[PhantomOnTour]

Wow, shocker in the GP Turf Hcp...longest shot on the board at 25-1. Couldn't come up with that one.

Fly Down is my key in the Donn...bound to run first or 2nd. If he does I should hit the tri.
Who ya got?

[Stillriledup]

The "Bob" Police got me in the Donn for 2nd. Excruciating beat. ML got dueled up, im not sure how Rule didnt get 2nd clean. Tough way to lose, ML was cooked on the far turn, only one closer came and got him.

[Tom]

Nice Card at Gulf for "Donn Day"

Such a nice day, my money decided to stay in Florida. :mad::D

[johnhannibalsmith]

Nice Card at Gulf for "Donn Day"

Such a nice day, my money decided to stay in Florida. :mad::D

Tommy... I think tha basterds had that winner... how could you? :D

[PhantomOnTour]

What a lovely pick of Fly Down :rolleyes:
Bad day at GP

[Stillriledup]

What a lovely pick of Fly Down :rolleyes:
Bad day at GP

That was a sad performance, he got big pace in front of him and was nowhere to be found. I was expecting him to circle up "any time now' but he was a no show.

[CincyHorseplayer]

I didn't think the frontrunners had a chance and Fly Down at 5/2 was a joke.I used Revenge,Oak,and Fly Down in the double to the GP Turf H,got blown out of that.I thought for sure I had this thing doped out!

[Beachbabe]

Redboard Special---I had the $52 winner in the Turf (You can check our selections in the PAIHL contest), [I was at Gulf today] but couldn't catch the exacta nor the pick 3 when Giant Oak won The Donn (I had 3 horses including Fly Down :confused: ). With a $52 winner, I lost money for the day. :( :blush:

[Tom]

Tommy... I think tha basterds had that winner... how could you? :D

I was just being a basterd about it~:D

[PaceAdvantage]

If that nitwit wants to win the race he willSo what are you trying to say? :lol:

[Investorater]

This thread is about the Donn Handicap and I am not 100% certain that the above is directed toward me although I'm gonna give it a shot. If I'm not mistaken I think PA's name is Mike. My name is Lawrence or Lorenzo and I don't know why I suggested that I was Latino. (My sister is a blue-eyed blond) At any rate how is this for a final thought: It is my opinion that only The God Of The Bible is cognizant of every human beings thought processes until the day we die and beyond. I should have asked for PA's permission before posting this.

Present Evil Age / Rapture / 1000 Year Millennial Age / EternityAs much as you try, you're just not going to be able to top certain folks around here in terms of producing a genuine "WTF" moment.

We've been here since 1999. You're going to just have to work harder.
