I know Lisa's Booby Trap is kind of a joke but four of these fillies were nominated to the Test. It seems awfully counter-productive to run this race the day before the Test.

Why is she a joke?

The John's Call is a skullbuster by the way.

Solitaire handled Perfect Shower pretty easily in the Singspiel (before Spice Route crushed him late); and he won this race last year. But Attfield is putting Velazquez up, a huge improvement over Jones, and his go to jock lately. Of course, I'm not taking a close look at the race until I know for sure it's ON the turf.

She has the fastest sprint number in the race, albeit at Finger Lakes and I have no idea how solid the number is.

You've got to be kidding! A Joke?? She won by six lengths! This horse is for real and a testament to all of us small breeders/big dreamers!! I couldn't wait to place my bet on her this morning. What did you think, Steve??

As you obviously have a problem with using time, I posted before the race and commented specifically on how four of the horses who went postward in this race were also nominated to the Test. The running of this race 24 hours before the Test surprised me.

I hope you cashed in a big way on the tremendous value this horse offered. Next time do us a favor and post in the Selections room. It's open 24 hours, so you won't have to use a clock.

So sorry! I'm new to the board and didn't know there was a time limit on when or how you could post. Jeez, guys, take a deep breath and relax. I was just thrilled for the horse. And noo, since she went off as the favorite, I don't get to retire on my winnings.

Post away Bonnie. Don't take people too seriously on here. A dysfunctional family picnic here.

You have a knack for spotting the dumb ones.




Fine work.

Bonnie,

If this is directed to me, I thought she was legitimate coming into the race based on her figures and the way she had won. I picked her second behind Funny Feeling who looked to get a pace set-up (but didn't rally a lick). I was surprised how easily she devoured the field.

94 Beyer by the way..

Thanks, Steve, for seeing her as legit. I absolutely love the story on this one.. as I said, it gives all of us smaller owners that elusive hope. He paid 4.5K for her! PS: Your new hours are frustrating, but I catch you when I can.
