Ohhhh I would love to own Winding Way

There are a number of organizations "coordinating" the so called dispersal of Hollywood Park - I regret to say that there is much disagreement at present and no definitve plan....

FOLKS GET OUT THERE - SEE the history for yourself before it is gone.

Excellent article and a game mare! Wish her the best

Who knows?  Was I the only one not particularly impressed by Honor Code yesterday? I think if New Years Day wins the Hollywood Futurity, the Eclipse is his. Two G1 over 1 G2 to me is a no-brainer.  And I'm an Honor Code fan, don't get me wrong, his Saratoga win was breathtaking. But since then he's been less so IMO.

She's a Tiger, despite the disqualification, displayed the most consistency over an otherwise mixed-up 2 year old filly group.

I agree on both.

As do I...What are the odds on that??

OH - how cute - I know...they are so much at home - and the birds along with the little geckos = NOT TO MENTION US!!!

Gentildonna wins = first two time winner -

Gentildonna nosed out Denim and Ruby, to become the first 2 time winner of the Japan Cup.
Tosen Jordan finished third and Admire Rakti was fourth.


Exciting race ist two finishers - by Deep Impact

Gentildonna wins = first two time winner -

Lava's 3rd Hollywood Gold Cup ... I was right there with my nose on the finish line! Most exciting and historic race that I've ever witnessed in person!

I hit the trifecta on it too! Paid $185.90 ... Always loved Big Booster and this day ... he made this trifecta for me ... Damn near stole the win too!

I soooo wanted AP Xcellent to win this one....

I didn't ... But I'll tell you what ... AP Xcellent impressed the hell out of me and scared the hell out of me! I wanted history and his gutsy gutsy run all of the way through damn near denied it to me.

When they crossed the line in front of me, I really thought he'd gotten Lava.

I'm normally Xcellent at calling close finishes, but I missed that one and am/was very happy I did.

Your boy AP may not have gotten the win, but he certainly did you proud. 

He sure ran his heart out - I so wanted it for Exceller
