Also they had Midas Eyes - who ran too good to believe in his first start for them after two ok Calder races for Hatchett.
Good ol' Elvie Cobb.

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.

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.

I went to the paddock to see Lisa’s Booby Trap. She’s a very tall filly and she’s absolutely stunning. She was on her toes and a handful. I didn’t know what to expect but I can tell you she has the look of a very special horse.

I can’t attest to what it must be like being a male with a stripper after me but I sure hope Tim Snyder keeps the horse. Frankly, once Hollywood buys the story he’ll have his cash and the horse too.

You have a knack for spotting the dumb ones.




Fine work.
