  1. In honor of it being Kids day and anti drugs and anti bullying. Listen to McGruff Kids. And take a bite out of crime. Just not literally.
  2. A kid would have at least given her the ball.
  3. Question. Why do you need a helmet to catch trout. Or is it salmon.
  4. Strip OK for California Chrome
  5. We need more players. Sign up folks, and put faces to some screen names. Where are we at in signups Chuck?
  6. Breathing strips are the same thing, but bigger, that sports stars like football players have been using for years. And they are used just about everywhere, and are technically legal according to the NY commission. The stewards at Belmont have to approve their use. Which is what they will be deciding on in 24-48 hours, since Chrome's trainer has formally submitted a request to use the strips to the Belmont stewarts. And if they say no, get out your popcorn of the West Vs East don't want no west coast triple crown winner discussion. Peta will have nothing on horse racing, if Chrome pulls out the Belmont due to this strip issue.
  7. There was talk that I'll Have Another really didn't have an injury that would prevent him from running. I'll Have Another also used breathing strips. But more importantly, I'll have Another shipped to Belmont the day after the Preakness ended. He settled in nicely. Then the NY dumbass politicians decided that to protect the integrity of the race, all horses would need to go to a quaranteen barn to be monitored 24 hours a day a week before the race. I'll Have Another's group said, why are we hearing this now, and not when we got here after we settled the horse in? This was NY's racing commission, that aren't horsemen but made up of politicians way of controlling the race. The horsemen said it was a nightmare to train, because you had a bunch of horses training at the same time in a small confined space. Injuries were inevitable, and I think O'Neill made a mountain out of a molehill injury, to cost NY the horse that everyone wanted to see that year.
  8. stonach owns santa anita, gulfstream, pimlico, and looks like golden gate, portland meadows and laurel park. They also own Xpressbet and HRTV. Los Al is owned by I think Ed Allred. Churchill Downs incorporated owns Hollywood park, Ellis Park, Calder, Arlington, Fairgrounds. Fairgrounds is in risk of losing their Horse Racing and Casino license because Churchill has let it go to shit. And pretty much gulfstream is manhandling Calder and taking away a lot of their dates. We all know what happened to HP.
  9. The guy next to her is like, I don't know this batshit crazy person. Which means it's his mom or date, can't tell which.
  10. If it was a little girl, giving it to a grown guy, people would get freaked out. /obligatory
  11. California Chrome's part-owner Steve Coburn takes shot at Churchill Downs Alluded to why the other owner stayed home for the Preakness.
  12. LA Times had a story about the Churchill Downs controversy. California Chrome co-owner rips Churchill Downs
  13. Victor rode Chrome perfectly. You watch that start, and he made sure that Chrome never got boxed in. Was just a beautiful ride. Hopefully the politicians in NY don't try and prevent Chrome from completing the crown.
  14. A lot of bad stories about Chruchill Downs. From the Oh we paid you too much. But more importantly, Churchill wouldn't give a pass to guys like Ron Turcotte, and instead told him if he wanted to attend you should buy a ticket. Turcotte was the jockey of Secretariat, one of the all time great triple crown winners. Then there was the story about a foreign horse that was running in an undercard race. The owners were going to fly out from Argentina to attend the race. They were told if they wanted to attend, they had to buy tickets. Churchill Downs is all fancy in the eyes of the public. But underneath, they are a bunch of scumbags that hopefully will never ever get a Breeders Cup again.
  15. Than again, they probably have no courage, or a brain either. And most probably should wear ruby slippers.
  16. The way the Ducks are playing. It will be soon enough. No life in the D or the O for the Ducks.
  17. Good news is. there is still time for those at the Ducks game to get to the angels game.
