Oaklawn Drive (IWON)

[riha]

nope.

[Tree]

Are we running today?

[dropdeadfred]

Yes, Jennifer !!!

[Tree]

She was attractive in her own right. Lord knows David Letterman liked her.
Michelle Phillips was pretty hot in that movie but the show stopper was definitely Jennifer Tily.

[dropdeadfred]

hadn't seen that in forever.. I always thought Terri Garr was hot

edit, I just googled her.. I guess my taste has changed since I was a teenager

[Tree]

What's funny is I watched about the last hour of Let It Ride last night. LOL

[dropdeadfred]

9th Race
$50 win and place on #5 Devalls Bluff Bill

[Tree]

I wish we could get this going again

[dropdeadfred]

yes - ends sometime in April

[Tree]

Are they still running at Oaklawn?

[Tree]

Yep. DDF had his name on it but ole Arthritis did all the work. I used to chuckle with him on occasion

[SkeBallLarry]

[Tree]

[Tree]

[Tree]

To all, Got some really bad news this AM as we lost Raymond Terry known on IHUB as Arthritis56.

http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/profilea.aspx?user=16796

Due to his illness he hasn't posted in a long time and is known by all the old timers on this thread and all the other threads through out the years.

He had a heart of gold and will be missed by all. Below is the note his wife sent me. God rest his soul.

Jim------Just wanted to let you know that I lost my best friend early Thursday a.m. He had really began to weaken due to the tumors and the chemo. He was here at home with me and died peacefully.
I can truthfully say that he was ready to meet His Maker which he did. I am truly blessed to know that today he is in a much better place with no pain and sorrow. You can let his chat board friends aware of his death if you wish. I just know he truly knew you and Carol were praying for him daily.

Stay in touch. Amy

[dropdeadfred]

sad day for sure. rest in peace ya ole poop

[bulldzr]

In case anybody is around here... y'all lost a friend.

kc I hope you still have your GRNO..our time has come!. sea

[seabreezing]

kc JBII up 133% from our exchange on the 17th. NPHC 25%. I expect JBII to be one of the best "listed " performing stocks of 2010. I still feel all warn inside everytime I see the replay of Zenyata's Breeder's Cup incredible run. Maybe the most exciting for me since the great duels of Alydar and Affirmed. Happy New Year sea

[kc]

You got it

Take care yourself and good luck with the stocks

kc

[seabreezing]

kc I too took extended time away from the market. I have some interest. Mostly surrounded around JBII and NPHC currently. We still have an open invite to meet at Santa Anita or Delmar whenever I can make it out I hope. Take care sea

kc

[seabreezing]

Hello kc, how are you When does Oaklawn start? Ya playing Southern Ca on regular basis. seabreezing

[dropdeadfred]

Sorry to hear about your friend Nemer, It's good to see you posting.

[Nemer]

life is good here in NE Tx

passed through your area a few months back on my way to the funeral of a long-time buddy up in Augusta

went to many horseraces, played a bunch of rounds of golferballs, caught lotsa fish at Greer's Ferry, and consumed a multitude of beer with him ...

at the burial service there was a keen fly-over in missing man formation with MooneyMite cropdusters

I miss him

not gonna be the same at OakLawn for me

[dropdeadfred]

Belmont 2009

hour and a half from post time

wagers

WIN ---- 9 Miner's Escape

Exacta ----- 9 Miner's Escape over 2 Dunkirk

the 9 is going wire to wire

---easy lightly contested fractions @ 2fl and 4fl

---the 9 will be NO worse than second at those two calls and I forsee him actually in the lead,

---but the 6 Charitable Man could try also for the lead ... doesn't matter as the pace will be mostly unpressed by the remainder of the field who will be intent on stalking

---racing will be pretty slow even as far as 6fl when some of the stalkers will start trying to close up on the 9 and the 6

---the 9 will turn a turn of speed as he gets to the 8fl pole (1mi) and start to open more daylight as he hits the quarter pole

--- last sixteenth will be THE RACE

--- Miner's Edge holding on to the closing onslaught of 2 Dunkirk, 8 Flying Private, 1 Chocolate Candy, and the final kick of 7 Mine That Bird

I forecast that the final finish will be

9-2-7-1

[Nemer]

Belmont Stakes 2009


Wednesday afternoon




1.. Chocolate Candy .... don't know how he'll like the dirt in NY but he surely didn't like it in KY ... I've watched some of his workouts and I am guessing he is a synthetic track runner.

2.. Dunkirk .... gets Velasques aboard this time as I heard Prado wasn't offered the ride after the terrible start in the Derby.... really would've liked to have gotten Gomez back up to make me feel stronger about this colt .... BUT he's gonna be on the board even though he needs more seasoning to stretch out to a mile and a half ... a bit too lightly raced to suit me a lot BUT might win here

3... Mr Hot Stuff ... I'm not picking him to hit the board

4.. Summer Bird ... another one who needs a LOT more experience to go mile and a half ....I thought he looked about the same as he does now in workouts before the Ark Derby and I think these ponies are better than those ..... show at best

5... Luv Gov ... guess D Wayne thinks Mena performed so well to break the maiden on this one that he has him riding .... miracles do happen and that is what it would take to even hit the board here

6.... Charitable Man ... yet another four race colt .... dang that just isn't enough bottom to get built to run mile and a half for a LOTTA money.... horse LOVES NewYork (3outta3) ... broke his maiden by 11 and coulda been 21 ... Kiaran can develop a horse via workouts as well as anyone training today...Garcia knows this colt well too .... odds are way too low for me to really get excited but this horse can win today

7... Mine That Bird .... my sentimental pick cause I am very ford of Calvin (have been for a long time) ... I think he'll go off below 1/1 ... my feeling is that ride by Mike Smith in the Preakness took a lot outta this pony and I am gonna have to move him down to place or even show .... I didn't like the way he looked Jun 1 workout.... looked a wee bit tired

8... Flying Private ... D Wayne just likes to have horses running in the big stuff ... goes back to Leparoux but this one win guy ain't gonna have two when this one is over

9... Miner's Escape.. Nick has got this one peaked out at the right time .... Lescano broke maiden two back ... horse IS fit and ready ... LONGSHOOTER pick from me

10 ... Brave Victory ... much the higher thought of the Zito pair entered ...I don't think this one is as good as Miner's Escape personally

------------------------------------
WIN and EXACTA ... no tris for me
-----------------------------------




On top

2 Dunkirk (needs above 4/1 to make me happy)
6 Charitable Man (needs above 3/1 for me)
9 Miner's Escape ( think this one can make for a BIGGGGG ticket)

On bottom

2 Dunkirk
6 Charitable Man
7 Mine That Bird
9 Miner's Escape

I'll arrive at bets Sat morning after seeing the weather and track condition after some races have been completed at Belmont

Tough year because the races have been loaded. The trainers continue to use stimuli's to make their nags run beyond their abilities.

[Tree]

They probably didn't but it was enough to beat me.
I'm sure. LOL

[kc]

that amazes me - didn't think that many of those dogs won LOL
