Rumurs are running rampant they included Gettysburg to tease the mares.😉

Nothing important or valuable, just observations from morning workouts at SA today.
Parking lot packed!
First person I saw was Steve Coburn standing with a bunch of Chromies, if that was his dog (corgi?) he was appropriately named Cowboy.
Stood down by the gap at the head of the stretch for an hour, within earshot of Baffert and others.
Maybe 10 feet away from the BC gallopers on their way back to the barn, jocks givings numerous thumbs-up to connections along the rail.
Thanks to whoever decided for them to wear their names on the saddle cloths, would be nice every day!
I don't think there were any serious workouts, just gallops, and one thing caught me by surprise.....without exception every time there was a washy horse broken out in sweat, it was an east coaster or from across the pond, not a west coast based horse, and there were a lot of them!
Jill Baffert wants extra mayo on her breakfast sandwich, pay attention Bob!
An exception to the washout report, Oscar Performance was spotted in the walking ring, picture perfect but a handful for the two female handlers, not being bad, just on the muscle as they say.
John McCririck of London fame spotted wearing a red Trump Make America Great Again cap, seemed worthy of a LOL.
Dortmund really is big when he's only 10 feet away!
Sorry but some guys (drfjayprivman) just look like bums in the morning.
Forbes Money Lister and Spendthrift Farms B. Wayne Hughes just blends right in, appears very unassuming.
If that was Chris McCarron, he's looking older and not dieting every day?
HRRN had their table set up and a steady stream of interviewees.
TVG hosts were running around everywhere, Scott H. in suit-tie-tennis shoes and Britney Eurton is a tiny lil one, Simon in a olde t-shirt.
Horns sounded 3 or 4 times for a loose horse on the track.  Trainers yelling at their jocks to just stop by the rail until its safe.
Much more, but I don't get paid for this nonsense :lmao:

There's no place I'd rather be at sunrise!

The Eclipse Award for leading trainer should go to Kellyanne Conway.

Suckin up the day rate?
This guy has one start this year, a 5th place finish at 4/5 in July.
I'm still trying to get even from his 2015 Derby try but I need him to get in the starting gate!

Firing Line.

Diver52

Looks like he'll miss the G3 Native Diver on Sunday, which would have been a possible spot, but not with 4F works.

Firing Line= retired

Thanks for the update, probably saved me a bunch more money ;)

Is it just me, or does it seem that everything Simon Callaghan trains seems sore?  He lost a two-year-old at Del Mar a week ago Sunday, who was wearing four wraps, right in front of the stands.  Now that can happen to anybody, but........  I just wonder if Mandella could have brought Firing Line back.
