Very interesting Amsterdam. I actually think Caleb's Posse has a big shot if the track is playing fair.

You have to wonder if Tim Snyder now regrets not taking the money and running when offers for Lisa's Booby Trap were coming in for his Finger Lakes specialist.

It looks as if the Amsterdam will be a neat little betting affair as well.

She did well on the dirt at Spa last year. See no reason she can't repeat.

Correct, but winning today doesn't justify turning down $500k for her. I think it's cool that he didn't sell her, but DH's question is a valid one.

Watching her lug and struggle coming out of the turn, I have to wonder if she was injured in the race.
