Mountaineer is back - Prozac is whack

[The Indomitable DrugS]

Opening night tonight!

The powerhouse combo of George Iacovacci and Kristen Spanabel is 7/2 on the morning line with a horse first off a year and a half layoff in the nightcap. All of the old running lines coming for trainer Eric Reed. Look for the horse to a run a Beyer of 4.

Race 8 is a classic battle between Alchemists and Gyps.

First the black corner....

The rail is trained by Chris Englehart - that one caught wide on Feb 9th at AQU last out.

The two-hole is trained by one-time Golden Syringe winner - "The American Dream" Doug Shanyfelt.

And in the three hole - a man whos juice needs no introduction the world over. Scooter "the shooter" Davis.

And in the red corner....

Starting from the four-hole - with an off-form 10-year-old Michigan bred - here is Alan "the executioner" Crago

And in the five-hole - a trainer who's every claim goes way backwards. Here is Richard "move-down" Markham

Bernardini will be your ref in this contest. He'll split them.


Race #7 will be a lot of fun. It's a MSW with a 17K purse featuring a field of ten. Nine of them have races under there belt - all horrible races - and those same 9 are all trained by ultra low-percentage types. Yes, a 4-year-old Pennsylvania bred first-time-starter by Changeintheweather with a Beulah Park worktab is the 6/5 morning line favorite.

As for the jockeys - Parker owns that place - but it's great to see 'The best that never was' Jason Lumpkins on the morning line favorite in the opener.

I do realize that the Oprah Winfrey network is doing an hour special tonight - on a town of Sex Offenders living in a Florida campsite - but that's why DVR's were created. I'm sorry - but this is real horse racing here folks. If you're not betting this and watching this tonight - you suck.
