Will the QUEEN be in attendance this year?

When I got the GRAND TOUR from somebody that worked at Woodbine one night it included the Queens Private room where she stays when at the races ...... some very nice and expensive paintings on those walls

I don't like the favorite.

(I just put the favorite in the winner's circle)

I'll take the filly.

I haven't formed an opinion on the race yet, but I do like playing Woodbine and thought the Blood Horse piece above had a bit more meat on the bones than the usual DRF tthing.

You are so right Fin. The filly could only finish better than 3rd once in her last 4 races against the girls. Now she is in with the boys. And what a boy WE MISS ARTIE is. Ran out in the Kentucky Derby. But with a little luck could have hit the board.
Last year Won a Grade 1 race. on ALL WEATHER track.

Race before the Derby. Won a Grade 3 race . on ALL WEATHER track. Race after the Derby. Won the trial for this race. On a
ALL WEATHER track. 3 for 3 on ALL WEATHER TRACK.

The filly ran 4/5 of a second faster than WE MISS ARTIE in the race before the trial. Driving the entire stretch.

WE MISS ARTIE won under a hand ride, NEVER asked for his best at any time during the race.

40% of the trial winners have won this race. That's a big number with that factor only.

Colorado won't let me bet online except their shitty OTB. Which won't have this race.


I like a few exotics with WE MISS ARTIE ON TOP and the filly not on the board.

haven't got the proper pp's yet but it looks like the contenders are 6 9 10 12

Hey Buzz.... Thoughts on the race?

First thought was the filly must have won. LOl, Sure enough 1 way to win a race, 99 ways to lose a race. We Miss Artie REARED AT THE START, and that was that. Can't give anything away in a $1,000,000 race.

Javier Castellano, We Miss Artie's jockey, said the poor start cost his horse the race.

"I think with the big field my horse got a little nervous in the gate, he completely sat down behind the gate," Castellano said. "That's why he broke straight in the air . . . it took a lot out of him.

"He was too far behind. I lost a lot of ground going around horses."

I'm disturbed by the lack of gloating. It is a well known universally accepted racetrack rule that when cashing a ticket (regardless of size) involving a public prediction in major races of this sort, unless it involved someone getting left at the gate in a two horse race, one paragraph of no less than two but no more than five sentences of shameless crowing is required.

And the result was a mistake. The wrong damn horse got the memo to get up on two legs at the wrong time. I decided this thing was mostly inscrutable to me, so for reasons I'd have a hard time explaining or defending (since I'm not exactly sure what they are) I plunked a token insignificant amount on #15 - Ami's Holiday who was sitting close to double digits on the board, straight-up on the nose to win tied-up with nothing else. He flew up the rail in the stretch into 2nd, at which time the filly was supposed to jump the rail to chase a pigeon into the infield, because that was the only way I was going to cash that little sucker.
