The passenger didnt even pull plugs or offer any urging.

What did 50$ return at 3/5?

Check out Archangel (1-9), who won a 70K split of the NYSS at Buffalo today for Jim Morrill. Nice Credit Winner colt--eligible to the Yonlers Trot. His mama is Michelle's Angel, winner of the Bluegrass and the Casual Breeze, and grandma is the outstanding mare, Almost An Angel. Archangel was second to Uncle Peter in the BC elim last year. Lots of NYSS but he's better than that. He's one to watch.

Apparently Hans recently turned down $1.3 million from Swedish interests for Googoo. The fact that he

The Hambo is really the exception and not the rule for these big races. You can supplement into most. And I am betting in a few years they will be offering one too.
But that doesnt help this years race at all.

Goo is #2 in the poll this week.
Same amount of first place votes as the leader. And only 4 points behind the leader.

Only 5 horses total dropped into the Yonkers trot. So no elim for Googoo and no outside post in the final.

The other 4 are as follows.

Stormin Normand, Archangel, Market Share and Muscolo.

Unfortunately that's the norm for stakes races at YR these days. Only six in--five betting interests--with no eliminations last year. Archangel and Normand are both very good. Market Share won his Goodtimes elimination but was too far back to do anything in the final. Muscolo is no factor.

Most would rather race in the Reynolds over the big track.

Its $10,000 just to start the elimination then 10,000 for the final.

and if you draw the outside your in BIG trouble there.

Then throw in a horse who is going to be a heavy favorite so you are most likely racing for second at best. And stormin Normand is a super good horse too. So its tough.

The corresponding Hudson Filly Trot only drew three. In that case Check Me Out will be racing herself.

Goos connections need to make sure its a good deal.
They want the horse to be part of that card more than the horse needs to race against older horses.

I am torn on this.
