Default Horse Watch

Are there any services that will text you when your horses in your "horses to watch" stable are running?

I'm surprised you didn't go nuts for Ever So Lucky's debut performance today at Churchill. Frenchie rode that horse with superior confidence like he knew he was an on absolute monster.

Yeah, he looked pretty good.

Contrary to the common perception of me on here though, I'm not some Betsy type that blindly gushes about every single good performance by progeny of a horse I was cuckoo over back in the day.

Obviously he's got a nice future ahead of him though, provided RTH1985 doesn't mush him.

I think Liaison has more upside.

If I was inclined to want such a thing, I would simply setup an email forwarding rule to automatically forward stable mail emails to your mobile phone via the SMS address of your phone.

That's just me though.

Or a phone that can take incoming text messages, which I assume you already have, hence the original point of this thread.

I had to call T-mobile to find out what my SMS address is. Once I got it, tried it and it worked like a charm. Thank you!

Of course it worked, but you are welcome.
