Good Luck Covello...

[Lost Cause]

You got a real nice shot today at a nice purse with Swift Warrior today.  Hopefully he can show the speed from the Rushaway to stay close to the lone speedster, Yield Bogey, with slow fractions and make a run at the eighth pole.  Yield Bogey usually gives it up at the sixteenth..

Good Luck again..

Congrats Jim. Also on the win on Sunday.

Thanks so much to everyone for the great messages.

Yesterday was a huge thrill.

There is alot of bad in between the good experiences in this game and so I have really come to appreciate the good moments over the last few years and yesterday was definitely one of those moments.

A few comments about everything:

1) as I said after the Rushaway, thanks to Jerry for finding this horse for me.  He\'s a very talented horse and one that the sheets uncovered before the rest of the world realized how good he really is

2) Mike D from the board was nice enough to come up to me after the race and introduce himself, he\'s an awesome guy and I really appreciated getting to meet him

3) Jose Espinoza is a great turf rider.  He\'s ridden for us 4 times on the turf and he\'s won 2x and come in second the 2 other times, including a Grade 1.  Not sure why he doesn\'t get more live mounts but the guy can ride on the turf.  He followed our instructions perfectly

4) It\'s very popular for owners and trainers and gamblers to complain about bad rides from jocks (I do it all the time) so I think it\'s only fair to highlight the 2 great rides we got in our wins at the Spa this week.  Espinoza yesterday and the bug boy on Sunday were both brilliant

Hope everyone has a great Labor Day weeeknd and thanks again for the all of the awesome thoughts.

Congratulations, Mr. Covello. You are a credit to this sport and I very much enjoy hearing your take. As the Breeders Cup approaches, I hope you will not be a stranger to this board. Your opinion is highly appreciated by ME.

Congrats Jim,

Big race, Beyer top 94, probably a TG top to boot.Very impressive stakes like last quarter near 23 flat.

Good Luck

Mike

almost went with the 9, when I saw the 1-57 jock, but he was getting hammered on the board, and he looked awfully good warming up, looked like he was in a full drive during warmups, hey is that the J DOLAN as a partner

[covelj70]

hah, I wish it was THE James Dolan as a partner, we would be able to buy alot more horses if it was.  

My James Dolan is a buddy from my town.

Very successful busineness person in his own right but not the one everyone knows.
