You have a job - and you print the PP"s from your home?

Doesn't every place of business have a computer and a copier?

I thought the only valid reason to ever seek employment was so you could save on printing costs until they fire you for doing nothing else relating to your job.

Give the connections time - they could still make it a scratch-fest.

I wonder how Carl Doran felt when he saw the overnights. "Got this nice horse, just cleared his 3rd level allowance, probably a decent spot to try a stakes at Saratoga, should be competitive"

...and he'll be 100-1.

It's worth watching the sale workout on that horse. You had to figure with the purchase price that it'd be pretty good.

For a NY bred with a rather underwhelming pedigree (unless you're a fan of Kaffiend) it was a pretty solid workout under minimal to no urging.

Has there been a grade one better than the Marvin this year?

Guesstimate on Here Comes Ben odds?

Anything above 8-1 and I'm in.

I think he'll be closer to 9-2 or 5-1, given his SAR form and bounceback last race. I've always liked him.

I was a fan of Here Comes Ben last year, but I'm still not sure he's the same horse now. . . The pace he was on last time was glacial.

Flashy Lassie, winner of the Grade 3 Debutante at Churchill Downs in June, will scratch out of Friday’s Grade 3, $100,000 Schuylerville Stakes at Saratoga, trainer Garry Simms said Wednesday morning.

Have to wait for the boss to go to lunch first.
