But it seems with all of these great horses that come from off 25-41 lenghts off the lead, they turn out to be junk horse and will never run that race again ofcourse. However, Ready's Echo has atleast proved he can run.

This is how a horse should race http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1u16T05o7JA

Ahh great race, question for you. I hate going to the racetrack and people talk stupid...had this guy saying Secretariat wasn't even a good horse because he never carryed any weight and was running against crap. Obv he is stupid as Secretariat was the greatest race horse ever...but did Secretariat carry any extra weight?

Oh that note of how a horse should run:

Keenland Race #5 April 18th

#8. Teriffany...Actor Joe Pesci is the owner and breeder of the horse.

Looks pretty good in the form and has a ton of early speed and will be right out to the front. Also the smoking hot Wesley Ward is the trainer who has been doing excellent at the meet...40% winners and 70% itm. Also is about 6 for 15 when taking the blinkers off. 5:1 moring line. There is no other speed in the race and is now getting shipped back to Keenland where she broke he maiden. Should be a easy winner wire to wire.

I will try and go 2 for 2 as a new breed to the forums

awesome find, will make for a fun sweat.

another shot at p6 carryover at santa anita, though i'm thoroughly prepared to be drawing dead after the first leg:

1,3 // 2,4 // 9 // 4,6,12 // 9 // 2,5
1 // 2 // 2,4,8,9 // 6,12 // 3,9 // 5

that much separated me from ~$400 winning late p4 ticket, again the 9 was closing fast but the finish line got in the way. frustrating feeling on back to back days! won't be playing til the derby, which should be a lot of fun.

I should of really known going by the horses last race that he was going to lead the entire way and halfway down the stretch give way. Went off 3:1 was leading the entire way sorta looked like a winner turning for home but then died out. I was going to say either off the board or first. But I liked the horses win at Keenland and had a ton of early speed and Joe Pesci usually has pretty decent horses.

How can anyone forget this maiden debut...was about 25 lenghts off the lead turning for home and came to get second. I know Ready's Echo ran in the Belmont after that and got third and is now making the 09' debut. 8-5 Morning Line. Not betting this horse...maybe at a decent price but just excitied to see this horse run.

Here is the maiden debut, and yes Ready's Echo is the last horse turning for home.

Tom Durkin, "Ready's Echo came from another county."

The video has to be on youtube any minute. Ready's Echo won like a champ today and went off odds of 9/5.

Ready's Echo went into the parking lot and won the race...not kidding Ready's Echo had to of went 15 wide easy, was last at the top of the stretch and made a huge stretch run.

I had this horse to win for $100 but lost a bit for the day as I lost alot of Pesci's horse.

Looking at the form for awhile and came across a horse which should probably be the favorite and should win for fun. Cornelio Velasquez hasn't done well at Aqueduct however, past two days he has had 4 winners. Dutrow re-claimed this horse and has a outstanding record for wins and earnings. Dutrow is 34% first off the claim. I also like that Cornelio gets the mount over Dominguez as Dutrow and Dominguez usually always ride for each other.

I would tell more about the race but while reading it before I spilt my drink all over the pages so have to get a new form today.

Today, I am betting...$200W $80P #5 Three in the bag at Aqueduct 04-19-09. Good luck all...and have a good day at the Big A


Aqueduct 5th (2:56)
1 Mile | Open | 4 Year Olds And Up Starter Handicap | Purse: $42,000

#5. Three in the Bag

Probably the worst ride by a jockey I seen in a real long time was today on #5 Three in the Bag. Thankfully for myself, I didn't lose too much. I had $4 Double going with #5 Three in the Bag as I hit the $37.80FTS the race before. Double was paying $180 for $2 I had it for $4 so it was $360 he wins the race and I bet a few extra on him to win.

Three in the Bag was 5-2 Morning line and opened up at 1-5 odds...which I couldn't believe how 1-5! Was 2-5, 3-5, 1-2, 3-4 and then loading in the gate went off at 1:1.

Was the best horse in the race no doubt and just the way the jockey was riding the horse had a strangle hold the entire race and even at the top of the stretch and just wasn't whipping nothing...I didn't get it at all what he was thinking. He had the rail then went to the outside and #2 the winner got threw on the rail.

Three in the Bag lost the race by about 1 length and got second place.

Good stuff Freeze.. enjoying the analysis and reports.

I got the alert on my blackberry about the $112k Carryover at Aqueduct while I was at the zoo with the kiddies.. but, I stuck to my guns.. I said I wasn't gonna play til the Derby and I'm not going back on my word!

[M.Honcho]

Heading out the door,flying into Tampa today. I will try and give a TR from Tampa Bay Downs. I know i wanted this years Derby to be my first live horse race,but to good of an opportunity to donk off some coin on a track i know nothing about.

Doubt i will be playing any poker at their poker room called The Silks,state law for their 5/10 nlhe is a max $100 buyin,WTF Florida! May play a donkament or 2 i guess ill see when i get their,and how cold the beer is.

Hate flying,hope im sober enough to grab my rental when i land,lol. Hopefully i can just watch a movie on the laptop,and be there before i know it.

I will also be at the Hillbilly Outfield party in Louisville vacinity on May 1st,supports the Make A Wish foundation,and just a flat out bash every year,then the Derby the following day. Check back with everyone when i can,glad to see the new knowledgable horse persons hit have been posting.
