Agreed! Collmus got lucky with a cute execution of My Wife Knows Everything/My Wife Knows Nothing, made the national news, and then got primo race caller jobs that I don't think were warranted. No knock on Larry for taking advantage of the opportunities. Shouting the call does not make it better.
Make it fun and get Richard Grunder out of retirement to make the derby call. Good lord w

I agree with you in that I don't think Reed did anything inappropriate with Rich Strike.
I ask rhetorically; does any substance exist that could improve a horse from a single win of a M30K race with those running lines into a Kentucky Derby winner?
If Reed did have some magic to inject, why would he not use it to get the horse some derby points and not chance having to be 20-somethin

I wouldn't even know where to begin with the endless possibilities that CDI still may have for plans in Illinois, whether it’s racing, casinos, or both. CDI has been a half-dozen chess moves ahead of the Illinois horseman and the state governing bodies for 20 +years.
The Chicago Bears are purchasing Arlington and their long-term betting partner is none other than Rivers Casino so nothin

The stewards may not take action but I wonder how many owners want to take a chance on Lezcano and that dull of a ride on their live mounts in the future.
I love the chart comment:
FOXTAIL came away well while asked, showed in front early then was taken under a tight hold and relinquished the advantage, stalked outside the leading duo under stout restraint, engaged those leaders while sti

By rough count, Baffert has 17 TC nominees this year. Maybe Bob accepts the CD ban and thumbs his nose by winning the Preakness and/or Belmont. To my knowledge, he's not banned from running horses in those races.
TC nominee PP's:

I don't begrudge anyone for choosing what to do with their own money so good on Michael Beychok for choosing to leave wagering on horse racing.
In respect to the lawsuit, eff Michael Beychok! It's very presumptuous for him that he is smarter than everyone else and would have had the winner if not for Bob Baffert and Medina Spirit with 21 picograms of Betamethasone in a post race sam

Technically, he can run in the derby. The horse will earn no derby points under the care of Baffert or anyone in his employ. The horse will have to be transferred to another conditioner to qualify for enough points to run in the derby.

Not sure Gerry but as screwy as things are these days, it was the most favorable situation for racing to reveal its ugly head.
I'm trying to explain to friends why the horse that won the Juvenile is not going to be allowed to run in the KY Derby. The retort was; "Then why was he allowed to run in the Juvenile?".
I've run out of defenses to this game to outsiders. Start

Has anyone else watching Saratoga Live the past two days notice that Linda Rice's name has been blatantly not mentioned? The crew mentioned one of her contenders yesterday but not that she was the trainer. Less than an hour ago, Saratoga Live showed Voodoo Song winning at Saratoga and mentioned Barry Schwartz as the owner but nothing about Linda Rice. Really? Censorship here too??
