Despite the weather it was by far the most formful BC I have seen. The horses that should have won did. (Redboard alert) The only winner I missed all day was Lahudood or whatever that KMac horses name was. Sadly the bankroll I had back then did not provide a massive takedown. Great times though!

I tossed Lahudood out of all bets because of all the nonsense KMac was saying about the horse hating anything but firm turf, and absolutely loved Honey Ryder so I had everything centered on her.

Screw Lahudood.

Equibase reporting a 1:02.60 5f breeze for that dual BC champion mare

Looks good … heard she came home quickly


Would like to see Mike drill her in 1:13 (plus or minus a couple ticks) going six in the next one (Oct. 22).


By the way, just glad we got to see the real ('roid-free) Curlin in '08.

Nuthin special … didn't seem to have that same acceleration (shocking) … and was clearly no match for superior Euros in the BCC…

Screw Lahudood.
Sorry to hear that. I, on the other hand, smashed the $hit out of that race (not as much as I wouldve liked) and singled in multi's.

Thanks Lahudood.

No, he is that dumb, and he has a thousand posts to prove it.

I think sometimes it is, sometimes it isn't.

When he throws absurdly idiotic quips like that one out, I think he's trying to bait us.

On the other hand, I believe he is genuine in his love for the big mare, and if he had a chance to let Z strap one on, he would let her.

Best part about that '08 BCC was when Curlin made his move on the turn and took the lead in upper stretch (of course the internet geniuses will tell you that he didn't handle the track … LOL).

Fans of the overrated colt thought he had it in the bag at that point … LMAO



Can't tell you how much I enjoyed that particular horse racing contest.

Right up there with this year's New Orleans Ladies...

You see?

It's just too hard to tell if Smoothie Operator is really a complete tard, or if he's just trying to bait us.

That was obviously bait. But there can be no denying he's an idiot when he tries to speak about the sport honestly.

Gotta go with Cakes on this one. Screw her. I too loved HR in that race.

Nice long work (7f) for the big mare last Friday

Should've taken a lot of fitness from that one as the track was playing slower due to precip

That CD strip might feel like the Pacific Coast Highway to her…

Don't you worry your empty little head about that. I have it on good authority that she's a better dirt horse, plus, even if it was like the PCH, she probably would take to concrete even better.
