Cal Expo racing done for the season, horses made it to Minnesota this week, hoping the meet goes well, and even better than last year for us. I think I/we learned a lot about the racing up there last year, and will likely place the horses more aggressively this year to get more wins than last year. I am hoping to get up there twice this summer for the races, pretty firm on July 25th - 30th, need to find another time to go. made good on my vow to have more than 2 there this season, and I have 3, so I made it. rflmao1
On a personal note, broke a rib last week in a bicycle Fall Saturday, glad I was wearing a helmet! Pain worse than a kidney stone, which I never thought was possible. :-\
2 broken bones in 3 years in California... I thought California promoted healthy living? idunno

sorry to hear about the ribs...good luck in Minnesota this meet..keep us updated
-
Get well, Mr. B! And good luck in MN!
-
At least California has MMJ to help with the pain... 4pezz2

Get well, Mr B and have a great meet. Still not sure what I am doing equine-wise, but the Handicapping Herpetologist will be at Running Aces Sunday, July 14 from 5:30-8:30.

OK, I have two in opening night tonight, Parham in 7th and Wild About Eagle in 9th. I think the ML is a bit high on both of them, and don't expect more than 3-1 on either. I like Parham's chances, if he gets around the track OK. He is the biggest standardbred I have ever owned by a long way. Doesn't where any boots of any kind on the big track, hope it's the same way on the 5/8ths. WAE has been racing well all season, though she has the worst racing luck of any horse I have owned. Always seems to end up going 1st up and getting beat. Will have to leave from the 7-hole, so it's all about the trip.

Good luck tonight Mr. B! I'll try and watch , if I remember. Down big time on them!,
Well. maybe not that big time.

Winner, winner! bowdown bowdown thumbsup

Congrats Mr B! Wild About Eagle $19.40 to win and $130 exacta. Now I can afford to buy bait for my fishing trip!
-
Thanks! What a gift mutual windfall... I couldn't believe the odds! She did have some good racing luck, and as I posted earlier, she has had some of the worst luck in the past...so hopefully it continues to even out! :-) Parham raced very well also, getting beat a neck for the whole enchilada! Heard after the race that he was really wound up in the paddock due to the new surroundings, and he probably left 1/2 his race there before they started. I expect him to be better next week!
Yiannoulas Boy is in the 6th race tomorrow, 4th choice on ML, only 5 horse field. I expect he will race well, but he has been off a while, coming off 2 qualifiers where we really sharpened him up. Should give a good effort.
-
Congrats Mr. B and best wishes for future success!
-
Congrats and heal up quick. I don't even think the otb had running aces up on the TV's or I may have
noticed, continued success buddy.

Feeling much better Skipper! Yiannoulas Boy had a nice win last night off the 2 month layoff, so that was awesome. $8000 purse was real nice too! We are not used to that type of money at Cal Expo!!! rflmao1. rflmao1. rflmao1
