Steve Crist and a co-owner have Mineshaft Blues, a 2-yr-old first-time starter, in at Saratoga on Thurs, Aug 16 (race 9). I believe this will mark Mr Crist's maiden voyage as an owner, but not certain of that. He and the partner also just purchased hip #330 at the NY-bred Fasig Tipton sale.

Steven not Steve
9th race, Thursday, State-bred maiden special, 5.5 turf. 10 Hole. But note that I highlighted his 2 turf works , Which were with the DOGS out, so he's been out here. 3 published gate works.
.
The 36.1 work yesterday was nice, the other horse on the track went :38.11 Zip It Jess , well bred from Cityzip who sold for 50K at the 2yo sale this year.
This is a guy, who , when he started the racing times , peddled his figures at OTB's in NYC! In person! This is our guy.
He used to be just Steve Crist as a handicapper, now that he owns a horse, his name in the PP is Steven. We all have to refer to him as Mr. Steven Crist.

Yes, his Saratoga blog on DRF was a delight to follow; always enjoyed the read, and got a kick when he made a score, "And now, time for a cocktail".
I know he's had some health issues; if he's buying horses he must be doing well and that's great news! I wonder how many hounds he currently has parked on his sofa.

The man is a tremendously gifted writer. Maybe horse ownership will serve as subject matter for a few guest columns in the DRF or one of the local Saratoga papers.

Don't think he'll bite on your invite as he's good friends with Andy S, and they both think Thaskalos is PA's most overrated poster....Just sayin'...

I'm through being nice. The next guy who calls me "PA's Most Overrated Poster", gets a spanking from me over at the HorseTourneys site.

Are you ready to play a head's up triple tourney on Weds? Will start with Saratoga, then Del Mar, and finish the night at Mountaineer...All $22 buy-in pick-n-prays, you up for it?

You are too bossy. Now I want to play for $110 instead of for $22. $22 ain't much of a "spanking".

It's OK to play Vic for ONE $22 buy-in tourney, but I give you 3 chances to beat me, now you want to "spank" me for higher $$ ?.....If I want to play higher, I can find easier fish to fry than trying to beat you.
Bottom-line, this is a friendly competition between you and me, if not then so be it.
