Running Aces time

[MichiganDale]

I had a great time at Running Aces, they have a good thing going on up there.  Great facility, beautiful race track, enthusiastic crowds.  Looks like the product is growing as they have had a better parimutual year as they try to grow their simulcasting.  Now if we could just get them to extend through September, instead of ending at Labor Day, it would be perfect!  I can tell you one thing, I am definitely bringing more than 2 horses up there next year!   

  Seems all that make the trip come away with that same feeling.  Glad you got to see it first hand, Mr. B.

Tony, hopefully you were able to make some money on him.  He was the beneficiary of a pretty bad wreck when Rep Tie, who is already banned in Chicago, did a jump stop and took out 2 others.  Yianni got out because of this a closed a ton of ground to get the win!  With Rep Tie now banned at Aces also, maybe there are a few more wins in there before the meet is over!

I bought a pacing filly once when I was young and knew everything. She was ruled off the tracks in Chicago because she was dangerous. Since I was bullett-proof at that age, I raced her at the county fairs and won 4 of her 1st 5 starts for me. Then one day at The Effingham County Fair she was gapping off the horse on the lead so I tapped her with the whip. She whirled, almost dumping my ass out of the bike and charged back into the field of horses in the wrong direction. Luckily we only bounced off of 1 other horse with no damage. I found her a home, because I didn't want anyone else to get hurt by the nutty beeyotch.

It's funny; you know everything. Then you realize one day that you don't know squat, then you start learning. I guess that's what's called growing up.

I once had a horse that nearly killed Andrea Miller (driving god Miller's mom), who was driving him for me in a ladies only race. He stuck his toes in for absolutely no reason. I never cooled him out or anything, took him back to the barn, stripped him, threw him in the stall unbathed, went and hooked up my trailer, and we took a ride to Middlefield. The first Amish farm that I recognized, I stopped at. I knocked on the door and an old lady answered. I told her I was looking for her husband, as I had sold him a horse before.

She said he was not home and asked to see the horse. I took him out of the trailer and told her "$500 and he is yours." She balked and said, "How about $450?" I gave her the horse and hopped in the truck and back to the track. Remember thinking on the way back that I honestly wished there was a kill plant nearby because I would have sent that piece of shit there instead. If Andrea had been hurt, I would have shot the f**ker myself.

I happen to  Andrea and no one messes with my peeps, man nor beast!
