As long as it's see thru, and it's a cool day...

You must be getting kinda lonely up there in your cabin.

It's not easy living up here in the forest. It's been a long winter. With all the rain the ranchers have moved the sheep down into the lower foothills, and that's put a damper on things for us mountain men.

Shh.  You weren't supposed to tell him.

What a way to start to rainbow pick 6 at gulfstream.  Dead heat with the favorite.  Tomorrows carryover is looking good.

[Homebrewer]

They are no slaves to the clock at gulfstream are they? They always seem to be 20 mins behind the post time there.

[gotbeer]

And the dominating favorite wins easily in leg 2.  Might be a $12 million pot for the pick 6 tomorrow.

[gotbeer]

First 4 legs of the rainbow pick 6.  Chalk.  Get your handicapping ready folks.  Someone send me the gulfstream form for sunday.

that's probably it for three rules, as far as the derby goes.

I have to finally admit.  He's a miler.  Maybe a 7f horse.  And he'll do well at those distances in stakes races.  Just not a Kentucky Derby horse.

It's a shame the track was so suped up. Can't really take much away from the race. Blazing fast all day. The winner of race 1 hadn't run a race that fast in 4 years.

all things considered Gunnevera ran great

Santa Anita seems to be the one to bet.   exotics should pay well, its such a wide open race.
