Red Seattle, The KING of Ferndale.

Red Seattle opens up odds on. I am playing against him once again, using the 1 and 5. Fool me once, {you know the rest} Race goes in 15 minutes.

That should be it for him. I hope he handles retirement well. Karen Haverty wrote over on the HTR board about this guy. Seems he doesnt like being turned out, which is why they bring him back every year. He really did get a gift trip last week.

That's it for Red, enjoy your retirement RS, you earned it!

A badly beaten last in the five horse field, this may have been his last hurrah. The betting seemed to say that the old guy was not going to run another good one. 6-5 choice on the ML, he actually went off as the 3rd choice at 2-1. The winner, who closed as the slight favorite, also at 2-1, received strong late play that proved correct.

Well, old Red may be gone from the racing scene, but the Humboldt County Fair is back. With all the attention focused on the upcoming weekends stakes action, opening day at Ferndale, tomorrow friday the 12th, has perhaps been overlooked. Only 8 days of racing at this unique little 1/2 mile dirt track. Some challenging handicapping situations, Ferndale is more suited to casual betting rather than serious investment. Have always enjoyed this short meet, and have had some fun playing and watching it.
