Well, I was looking forward to seeing Eishin Flash go out in his last race in the Arima Kinnen, but it seems he has been injured in training and retired.

Will have to see him next at stud.

I'll miss you on the track Eishin, but am so glad you are safe and sound and on your way to filling the world with baby Eishin's.

I echo your comments= Loved him

Zippo today - taking another shot

1/20 Santa Anita Race 8 #11 Wings of Mohave - big field I like outside horses on the downhill Nakatani can do amazing things...

Poop right rider - wrong race - should have gone with 9 Wonderful lie in the the 7th,,,ah well..

Its sad.

The notion that contraction is better for the sport is silly IMHO when with more races as a part of the points schedule they managed to have Giant Finish with 10 points and Golden Soul with 14.

Granted Golden Soul finished second in the derby - but the notion that you can have a range of entries between 150 points (Orb) and 10 points to me demonstrates that the system is flawed.

You can get 10 points from a 4th place finish in a top tier race or from 2 second place finishes and a third place finish in two year old races.

Thus, the benefits of a point system which I thought would encourage horses to race more and mean that only the best horses were in the Derby field - is a fallacy.

I know that Churchill Downs has control over who enters the Kentucky Derby, but one would think that the integrity of the sport imposes upon them a certain degree of responsibility to be more inclusive.

One would think but apparanty NOT - WHY excluse The Cash Call Futurity??? Makes no sense and no basis for doing so - Shame on Churchill

Good card at Gulfstream Saturday
Going with angle #647. It is a simple one and it fits the
7th race ALLOWANCE OPTIONAL CLAIMING, $48,750, 1 1/16M, Dirt, FOR FOUR YEAR OLDS AND UPWARD WHICH HAVE NEVER WON A RACE OTHER THAN MAIDEN, CLAIMING, STARTER OR RESTRICTED ALLOWANCE OR CLAIMING PRICE $25,000. Weight, 123 lbs. Non-winners of a race at a mile or over since December 11, 2013 Allowed 2 lbs. Such a race since November 11, 2013 Allowed 4 lbs. Claiming Price $25,000 (Maiden and Claiming races for $20,000 or less not considered)

I go by the horses age and who I think was part of the better crop. so I think it was the 5yr olds
so I'll be going with #3 Fast Falcon WP
Should get a good price as the #2 should be heavily favored
Good Luck

I agree! Good Luck!

OH Tinny - Ruff Proof just looked ready to run - he is gorgeous - and caused a carry over

Congrats to all the WINNERS 
and Big APPLAUSE to Ruffian for the CEREMONY! = What a FUN YEAR!!!

2014 - here we come!

I hope you played them with the 3/2 favorite ...

Trifecta paid $1063.

Of course I didn't play it.

Kessabtsi damn near got 2nd at 90-1. Missed it by a neck.

Well...I did.. WOOT - was sure hoping Kessabtsi hung on for second but am NOT complaining!
