In honor of Presidents' Day, Gulfstream Park is running a series of starter handicap races that they have named after the nicknames of either former Presidents or, when the races are for fillies and mares, after former First Ladies.

The races are named: Little Magician, Trust Buster, Mary Todd, Lady Bird, Mrs. Presidentress, Rough and Ready, American Fabius, Sage of Monticello, Rail Splitter and Old Man Eloquent. There is also one allowance race since a race that was to be named the Old Hickory didn't fill. Quick, without using Google, how many can you identify?

Given the way that Cal has been dominating our points contests this year, it is a shame that they couldn't find a race to name in honor of our 30th President. By the way, Cal, that's my sort of feeble attempt to congratulate you on your win at the Fair Grounds on what turned out to be a real skullbuster of a card. Very nicely done.

Thanks. Have to venture some guesses at the names of the races. I've always loved trivia. I think Little Magician might be Madison. Trust Buster might be Teddy Roosevelt, but Rough and Ready might be too, but maybe that might be one of the military men that was President like Zachary Taylor?
Sage of Monticello has to be Jefferson. Rail Splitter has to be Lincoln. Have no clue who Fabius was or Old Man Eloquent. Maybe John Adams? Of course, Old Hickory everyone will know as Andrew Jackson. Mary Todd is Mary Todd Lincoln. Lady Bird is Lady Bird Johnson. Mrs. Presidentress? No clue. Maybe Martha Washington?

Trust Buster has to be Trump!!! No politics involved

Cala 828 nails another ThreePeat. That very astute tri in Race 11, squashed any hopes for the rest of us.

Well, it could be "the Great Prevaricator" or "The Great Equivocator" or maybe simply "The King," as he with great modesty and humility likes to call himself. I am just wondering whether it's too late for us to write a letter to the Queen and say we're sorry for 1776. She seems like a nice lady. Maybe she'll take us back?

The Queen has spent too much of her reign overseeing the departure of former colonies to think about taking a troublesome one back. Besides, if we insisted that we have representation for our taxation, she would lose all interest.

I didn't mean to start a political discussion by my post. The current occupant of the White House is definitely not the answer to any of the questions.

I'd like to add to this but I'll keep my understandings or misunderstandings painfully evident on my Facebook narration, lest I rub some of my "Call To Post" friends feathers the wrong way.

Where do you think we're off to next weekend, Cal?

No harm done JB, if anything I took it to the insinuated side of politics. i believe Cal and I were just having fun. Moving on to what we are all here for: Thoroughbred Racing.

[cal828]

I haven't a clue about the next venue. I was hoping all the not so great possibilities were behind us with all the derby trail races being offered most weekends. Not a lot of exciting stakes races this coming weekend. Gulf has a trio of sprint stakes. Maybe we will have to see which venue has some good supporting races. Gulf and Oaklawn always seem to have fairly full fields. Oaklawn's sole stakes is an Arky bred affair, I think which is about as bad as they get, but might have some nice allowances. I am open to suggestions.

At times here we play an all stakes card using two tracks but no more than two (cost reasons for those of us that pay for PPs). Wasn't sure you knew we have that option.
