Terrific card this Sat at the FG, 5 stakes

Started by covelj70, January 19, 2010, 03:59:27 PM

several of them graded and mostly big fields.  This is how a day of racing is suppossed to look.

I am going to head down there.  Anyone else gonna be there live to say hey?  Always nice to put some faces with some names when possible.

jack72906: Definitely. Saw the entries today. Friesan Fire and General Quarters running against each other in the Louisiana H.

Should be a great day.

Michael D.: Safe to assume Citrus Kid won\'t be on the lead this time? Although, there\'s not a ton of speed signed up.

You\'re right Jim - a great card there.

covelj70: Mike D,

Hah, if Citrus Kid is on the lead on Sat, Miquel Mena is going to have one angry Italian man to answer to :)

Hopefully we can sit right off of it.  He needs to really step forward but he\'s really training well so we will take a shot.  Should be a fun day.

richiebee: Great card, great racing, FG needs a break after some brutal wet and cold weather
so far this meet.

Good luck with your runner Covel.

Speaking of cards, look at the first 4 races at Aqueduct Wednesday. If NYRA was a
private corporation and I was a stockholder, I would be demanding the resignation
of everyone from Charles Hayward on down to the person cleaning turds out of the
paddock.

Time to shut down NYRA and replace it with a private entity. Time to get the
Aqueduct Racino up and running. Time to name a \"racing czar\" in New York State to
make these things happen; I nominate in all seriousness the man known as Client
#9, who is going to end up back in politics soon anyway.

covelj70: Richiebee,

you could just write the words \"client #9\" 100x on a page and I would laugh.  I really want to make that my handle on this sight.

covelj70: Thanks P-Dub, much appreciated.  Weather looks good so far.

Should be alot of fun.

Silver Charm: This one is also on the docket and as the DRF says looks wide open.

Millions Day next week
Donn Day week after that.

Let the fun begin....

heatherk: Just spent the weekend at FG. The clubhouse is a first class venue, overlooks finish line and a short stroll you can view walking ring. Thoro-sheets in short supply. Only have FG thoro=sheets. Betting multiple tracks take a laptop or download and print beforehand. Enjoy the Gumbo!

Silver Charm: I know it is terrible. More good racing to bet on.

TGAB: We\'ll send more FG sheets ($25) and some Simulcast Packs ($40) for this weekend.

marcus: Good luck cov w/  the \'Kid  . Tricky race but the horse could go forward and  at least get a share imo , although challenging it isn\'t a bad spot  .  ..
