Ghost of Dwight Drane Posted June 8, 2014 Report Share Posted June 8, 2014 Saw the rant. Sour grapes, and he sounded like an idiot. Half of the Belmont field is horses that didn't race in the other two…EVERY YEAR. Mostly because few owners want to continue to pay big entry fees on non-winners, and partly because some (few) trainers train for that distance specifically. He needs to shut up, sell some Quaker oats, and take the rest of the adult home up on the spaceship. Drunken rant at the end of his 15 minutes. Too bad....seemed like nice guys. Also, half of California Chrome's races were restricted and run against only California bred horses. Maybe he wants to give that money back? i was at a party so did not see...i will look for it now. In terms of your suggestion...for me i would say keep it the way it is. There is a reason being a Triple Crown winner is so special..and part of it is beating all comers at all times. Rough day for me at the windows....but there will be more days and more races. GoDD, promise not to bother you to Breeders Cup ...then i need another breakdown. I am sure the end of this thread, and again thank you! I will pay attention during Saratoga more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubkev Posted June 8, 2014 Report Share Posted June 8, 2014 Just saw the rant. What a whining bitch! That's what makes the triple crown hard. It's always been that way and it should never change. That's what greatness is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing complicated: Mike Schopp @ Schopptalk 6h Is there a good reason not to space the Triple Crown races out a little bit more? If the rest is so important... Expand Eleven @ ElevenInBuffalo 6h @ Schopptalk Weather. Maryland gets really hot in June, July, August, and to start Kentucky any earlier risks cold. 45] Mike Schopp @ Schopptalk 5h Good answer. @ ElevenInBuffalo Weather.

Ghost of Dwight Drane Posted June 10, 2014 Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 I skipped my college graduation for my first Preakness. It was 95 degrees. The electrical system failed and it was anarchy. We went into the clubhouse which was the only place that had betting. I was double fisting beers and had my shirt open Ricky Martin/ Ron Jeremy style. You forgot May, Eleven........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went in May of, what was it, '99? Something? It was 103. We ran out of water well before we ran out of beer. We were drinking the melted ice from the cooler. The carnage on the way out, wow.

The families and kids are very friendly though and will park you and bring your beverages/food/people back and forth to the track in shopping carts. We saw a fair amount of passed out lobsters heading home in shopping carts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We saw a fair amount of passed out lobsters heading home in shopping carts. Hit my first signer in like 88 at Pimlico. God that place was/is a pit. But it was my pit, and I had plenty a good day there, then hopping in the car to drive to Charlestown for the night races. That was awesome cause in the 9th at CT, they had a cool bet called a superfecta. Would drive 90 minutes just so we could play that one bet LOL.

plenzmd1 Posted June 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 (edited) Say a pryer folks...sitting in DFW waiting out a thunderstorm, playing on Twinspires, horrific spill in the 8th at Belmont.
