I also would like to wish Truly a Judge the best of luck today. Any horse that reads this forum is worthy of praise.

I don't mean to hijack the thread, but Truly A Judge is a spring chicken compared to Hermosillia, running in his final race today at 15. Hermosilla isn't in the same class as the Judge, but nevertheless quite a warrior.

http://horseracing.sportsline.com/cb...rticleId=21313


He finished second in his last race at Wyoming Downs 8/5/07 in a $1600 claimer for a $2500 tag. This will be his 74th career start according to a DRF article 8/3/07

http://www.drf.com/news/article/87301.html

............but at least the Del Mar race will be televised..........

Oh yeah I read about that one.... hope he bows out with a win.

Court's in Session (8YO) is in the race with Judge.... he should be listed as a gelding. Not that it matters but hey... gotta give the gentleman some attention too.

(Sniper if you're around no disrespect to our boy Chips, but.....)

I love the old guys. That race at Del Mar is funny though.
Truly a Judge next to Court's in Session, that's a good one.
Hope all the old guys come home safe. Wish I could watch that elko one with Hermosilla, I saw that the other day.

"Court's in Session (8YO) is in the race with Judge.... he should be listed as a gelding"
BTW a ridgling is different. He wasn't born with both of his parts, only had one.

Not as bad as when Equibase listed Colonial Colony (applause! I loved him) as a gelding.

I'm in moron mode.... cannot find results for Elko! Did he win?

His owner gives him what ever time away from the track he needs. He is big good looking gelding that still wants to race.

Let Truly the Judge and his owners know he has a fan club, and we enjoyed watching him race.
He had a nice race yesterday.
Still can't find Elko w/ Hermosilla.

Oh, speaking of the old guys, Evening Attire is entered in the 8th at Saratoga today for the MTO, he's a fav of mine.

Not off turf/scratched, re-entered on the dirt, R3 on the 30th.
