dude,
you are a flat out poser. You are a losing player who probably got lucky a couple of times and now thinks he knows what hes doing. There is only one poster on this board who has any credibility and that would be discreet cat.
Im not a handicapper but he has shown that he knows something and you
are laughable to anyone who knows about racing. Dont worry I wont be posting on this board as after reading through it.

LOL You will be missed. I was welcoming 2x's to our thread because he at least made some plays available to sweat,so no idea why you quoted my comments to his post,and i would wager you dont either,and i would probally get lucky and win that wager as well.

Vet i would be interested to see an answer to your 2nd question also,i have no idea myself. I am 50/50 heading to the BC this yr,i missed the Hillbilly Outfield Party this yr in Louisville because of health,but would love to see Big Z in person. I wish i could get to LV and get down on the Twirling Candy at 75-1,theres no way i go against Zenyatta in the Classic but dropping a $100 on TC would be a nice hedge. I think Kev may have an answer to your 1st question if anyone would. I commented 2 races back about TC and the crazy turn of foot he had in the last 100 yards,it was visualy very impressive and reminded me very much of Big Z's closing foot.

Speaking of closing kick, I'm excited to see where Tell A Kelly goes next. Sick ability down the lane, imo. Yeah, it was first try versus winners in the Debutante but, he's out of Tapit and should relish added distance.

that's the worst part about horse racing. Martinez and his wife are expecting their first child soon, too. I definitely echo your sentiments, Honch...

arlington 9/16

4) 1,2,3
5) 1,5,6
6) 3,4,5
7) 9
8) 2,8
9) 1,5,9

pending scratches I may just play that as p6 ticket where there's carryover, or break it up into doubles or p4s or whatever. the 9th is just such a cluster****, i don't know how the oddsmaker came up with his numbers all the horses should just be 99/1.

Good news: He's All Heart got his best draw of the year


He is racing in the 50k Muckleshoot Tribal Classic 1 mile which is for three year olds and upward foaled in Washington or sired by a stallion in Washington during the year bred.


1- Wasserman 8yr old On his last racing legs, but a local favorite none the less (6 races 0-0-0 this year in stake races)

2- Margo's Gift 5 year old who, Hasn't performed well since a wonderful stretch as a two year old (6 races 2-0-1 this year in OC/50k stake races)

3- Noosa Beach 4 year old who is the pride of the Northwest this year, and will hopefully be racing in Kentucky later in the season, this horse is 5-1-0 in 6 races this year all in stakes, including a win in the G3 Long Acres Mile, the works on this horse are never that great but everytime on the track it lights it up, Lifetime Noosa Beach is 9-3-2 in 15 races for a career earnings of 340k!, second highest in this race behind the ancient Wasserman who has amassed over 500k.

4- Siberian Cocktail a 4 year old, I havent seen this horse race much, couple weeks back he was racing in a 15000 claiming race featuring one of my horses (well not mine but my mom's boyfriend is getting tiresome to say) Heidleburg and ran well going 6 furlongs in 1:08 despite never being pressed that said this is a bit of a step up in competition for him. I was told that I should look for this horse to try and bolt out to an early lead and hold it.

5- He's All Heart a 4 year old, Heart has been racing in largely OC 50k's this year. Some people wanted him to run in the LongAcre Mile 250k G3 this year but the trainer and principle owner are more interested in next season. On the year he is 2-1-1 in 6 races. In his last workout on 8/29 he ran 5f in :58 which was 1/24

6- Scalding Passion a 6 year old, Passion has been racing lower claiming races 7500 being its most recent, however this horse in the past has shown quality glimpses and used to regularly compete in 30-40k Allowances, definately one of the longshots.



Ok this draw is the best for Heart all year he has had some bad luck drawing the rail or the 2 hole, but in this race he is in the 5 slot with the two fastest horses occupying 3,4. He should be able to stalk the pace and come up on the back stretch unmolested from the outside.


Realistically Heart is shooting for 2nd, Noosa Beach is a clear class above the rest, I suspect it will go Noosa Beach, and its between Heart and Margo's Gift for 2nd,.

The track may stay a bit of a slop for the race which could favor Heart.
DAMNT WASSERMAN, the race finished

1- Noosa Beach
2- Wasserman
3- He's All Heart

I was told that It is unlikely Noosa Beach will enter the Breeder's Cup Dirt Mile, with a posting cost of $90,000 unless the owner/trainer can find someone with deep pockets this fine Washington race horse will remain in Washington.

I did my first real hand at some handicapping for 5 of the stake races that day. Using just the past race performances that were given to me on the day of the draws. I ended up getting 3 out of the 5 winners correct, and in the Belle Roberts Stake I had the top 3 horses correct but in the wrong order! Would'nt have been so bad for a box.

Last couple days I've just been glued to the tv and watching TVG, while reading about some of the greatest horses of the past 100 years. I think I have watched Secretariat's Belmont performance at least 25 times lol.

I am completely resisting the urge to open an online account, I want to wait until the next Emerald Downs season where I can follow it from start to finish.

If anyone's interested here is the video of the 2010 Longacre's Mile a 250k G3 race that Noosa Beach won. Longacre's Mile 2010
