EVANGELINE FOR SUNDAY WILL BE FREE

[TGJB]

As was posted earlier, Evangeline is running their Sunday card with all the proceeds going to help victims of the hurricane. Full sheets for that card are available as a special, free.

Thats a very nice gesture. If everyone helps a little including Washington thats all you can ask.

Jerry,

I just want to say thanks, not so much for the free sheets, but more for being a decent person, and helping the relief effort in this very creative way.

Mike-- thanks for the kind words, but Mall deserves credit for the idea of giving the data away, and this is no real sacrifice on our part. Evangeline deserves serious credit for doing something that hopefully will get meaningful money to those that need it, and taking money out of their own pockets to do it.

Since everyone out there likes to bet anyway, it certainly seems like it would be a good idea to take a look at tonight\'s card. Other than watching Entourage, what else do you have to do Sunday night?

Mall, any updates?

how do you handy. cap 7 year old maidens and 3500 claimers ?

I\'ve called and/or emailed everyone I could think of. Nothing to report other than that. Best response was TVG, who seems to be outfront in promoting this. I assumed that meant they would be showing the races live, but now I\'m not so sure. Free video if needed at:

These will be my 1st Evg races as well, cubfan. Didn\'t know nos this high were assigned to any horses, but all things considered, how bad can it be? I\'m planning on keying Leestown Rd in the 1st, as I think the last in which he \"lost contact\" is a toss. Suffice it to say I have my reasons.

[cubfan0316]

great way to start what could be the worst FREE CARD EVER GIVIN OUT. a 0-35 6 yr. old maiden that pays 5 bucks.  whoopi

The $40 tri was a little disappointing, but you can\'t hit every tri on the card unless you hit the 1st one. Reimburse Me looked like a possible key in the 2nd at the 10-1 ML, but 3-1 is way too short. No reason I can see why Precocious Aggie can\'t run a race at 6-1. Both on top over the two other obvious contenders.  

[Mall]

Slewtown & Curjo look best in the 3rd, but I have a hunch that Current Odds can run some at 60-1. Let\'s try the 1,6 over the 1,3,4,6,9 & see what happens. You know what they say. You can\'t hit all but one of the tris on the card unless you catch one of the 1st two.

[cubfan0316]

i need the 5,6 or 7 for a 4 buck pik 3. what a great track......... too funny

[Mall]

That $4k tri in the last was certainly one you could sink your teeth into. Thinks seemed to be heading in the wrong direction, but no use stopping now. At 6-1 I\'ll take a chance on what might possibly be a recovery pattern & key the 7 in the top two spots the tri. Good luck on your pk3s.

They apparently raised about $75k, which would have been higher if I had simply donated what I bet instead of trying to make a score or two to donate at a track I still don\'t know anything about. Hopefully, the industry as a whole & the posters here will do a whole lot better on Oct 8, which has been designated at Racing to the Rescue day. It\'s also Md Million Day, & I\'m pretty sure BC Preview Day at Bel & Kee as well. No excuses will be accepted for not getting involved in that one. None, ninguno, aucun, nessuno.
