How much money will richiebee have on Asia in today\'s 5th race at Gulfstream?  All classic richiebee angles on the firster:

**Wesley Ward, trainer
**Rafael Hernandez, jockey
**Half sister to Pablo Del Monte, richiebee\'s favorite horse of 2014.

Good Luck if you play my friend.

Fairmount:

Really had not looked at GP today. As much as I love betting and watching turf
racing, they really run too many turf races at GP for my liking; when betting a
multiple race wager, I like to see a good mix-- turf/dirt, short/long,
younger/older etc. The late P4 at Stronach Anita, which features 3 graded stakes,
has that mix, with two turf races and two dirt races.

Nice to see that GP honors the legendary achievements of HOF trainer H. Allen
Jerkens today.

With regards to the Wesley Ward runner, that 5 furlong angle is of course much
stronger with 2YOs. I have not looked in to Lookin at Lucky\'s stats as a turf
sire, but LaL is by Smart Strike, who has been a strong turf influence.

Watching from FP with the gang today?

Living Room Downs for me today!  

I told my dad to play the Jimmy Jerkens firster in the 2nd, hopefully he did with the Allen Jerkens Stakes today.

My first trip to Gulfstream Park in 2007 evokes an Allen memory.  I had a crazy, crazy girlfriend at the time.....that is a \"doubled edged\" sword as they say.  I walk to the window to make my wagers near the walking ring and paddock connection.  As I\'m walking back, here is my crazyland girlfriend holding Allen by the arm saying \"Here he comes, here he comes!\"  I walk up and she screams at me \"Where have you been? Here is the trainer you said is one of the greatest ever\" in classic crazy fashion.  Then, she says \"He is waiting to take a picture with you\" in the sweetest voice ever.  I\'m thinking you crazy b&&** leave the man alone.....so i stood there, had my picture taken with the Chief and I shook his hand saying \"Thank you\" and he walked off.  He never said a word.  I have no idea what she said to him or what he was thinking.

I copied the photo to my computer that night.

On the plane ride home 2 days later, I told her it was best if we didn\'t see each other anymore..... bc she was THAT crazy...approaching Allen Jerkens was one of the more ordinary things she did.  LOL..I know many of you have similar stories, right?

Would that be the same Ms. Paul Shanahan as Go Irish?

Thanks for trying to put me on a winner Fairmount.

When all is said and done, I ended up marrying my craziest craziest girlfriend.
Of course I didn\'t realize how crazy crazy she was (is) until after 10 years of
marriage.
