Hey buddy! looks like the Ministers Bid - Racketeer exacta is a cinch in teh feature, bet early and often.
Also, bet hard on the first time Lisa lewis from Bond trainer switch horse in the 4th who is also making his first turf start. Precise End's love the grass, and his last workout which was on the grass, was a "tad" quicker than it shows in the DRF, if you know what I mean!

They will be back. I still look at that board every once in awhile, but it has become really bad. Not so much because of the trolls anymore but just because there is not a lot people over there that know what they are talking about.

As for Belmont today, I disagree about your bet being "a cinch." I like Minister's Bid over Flashy Bull and/or Forest Phantom. I would play those exactas and trifectas.

Biscuits n' Gravy people gunna get whoever they want in there (again.)Washington will be a Blue State whether you vote, or not.The only states where it is important to vote for the Pres. are the close ones.Majority rule B.S... Probably the primary election will be rapped up before it gets to Washington, too.

Well, Old Blocky just told me to drop dead, what a nice guy. It looks like him and Buffy are getting along fine. Wonder how long it will be before he grows tired of posting to himself and comes back here...

Default Minister Bid

Over here on vacation with family on Big Island in Hawaii....
No race tracks to report in our 50th state but am finally internet connected.

Have bet early (around 5:53 am) and often on Minister Bid.....
Hopefully will pay for some of the expenses which with my wife and children are starting to rack up.

Aloha,

PSH

Everyone is laying claim to my horse, I posted about Minister's Bid back in the middle of April and now everyone is on the bandwagon. I want everyone to know he's my horse....


just kidding, I get a big kick out of when people lay claim to a horse that they don't own and go on and on about them. Anyone watching that race would have known he's going to be a monster(but, I did post 1st about him, lol)...

LMFAO. Block will post everything the DRF has to offer - the three other regulars will post something like "Good to see" or "about time that horse is back" then yourmomchoked.... will make a comment about "yer momz said dat last nite" and then the thread will slip into the abyss

I didn't want to talk politics but since others brought it up....
It DOES matter if you vote and here is why: Demographic Tracking. Both parties do it to a large degree and use it to shape their message and their legislative agenda. Old people (especially old white women) vote in much larger numbers than other demographic groups, and since both parties keep track of this info, partisan policy is geared disproportionally towards issues that matter to that demographic. If people in other demographic groups don't vote because they think it does not matter, their actions become self-fulfilling prophecies: what they think will NOT matter because both parties will feel secure in ignoring the concerns of that demographic.
Now that being said......I still like Minister's Bid over Forest Phantom and/or Flashy Bull.

Thats exactly the way us normal people feel in California, with the wackos from L.A. and San Francisco deciding the state, every other county votes the right way!!!!
