Gorella's run in the Bev D litterally gave me goosebumps....

It was great to meet Jerry Bailey and talk with him for a few minutes, very nice man.

That sums up my Million Day.

I got goosebumps seeing Tin Man in the winner's circle and seeing the very proud owners & trainer. What an amzaing story, kind of reminding me of Lava Man in a way. Seeing $13 flash on that toteboard was a little nice too

Hey man what about those moron jocks letting The Tin Man get loose on such an easy lead , lol it was like stealing candy from a bunch of babies. I cant believe such a group of riders didnt know how slow they were going, gotta love it , my first horse to the million that I ride and he wins, onto the Breeders Cup , The Iron Man wins again.

Congrats, Honu. It must be totally cool to have been aboard a horse that goes on to win a race like that.

Default My local OTB here in Jacksonville........

Would not let us bet the NTRA PICK 4! I freakin spend hours handicapping, then they make the announcment, really burned me up! So I played, and hit the Arlington late pick 4, I broke even for the day, but I always have fun.
What do you guys think of Gorella? I think she's a beast, what a late kick she has, her last two races have about given me a heart attack each time though, she's gotten the job done! For a young kid, this Leparoux is such a patient rider, you've got to give any mount he's on strong consideration.
By the way, my name is Michael, this is my first post as a new member of D-trail, and it's great to be here. Best of luck, and lots of winners to you all!

Welcome Micheal and good post.

As far as Gorella goes I am all in on her now. She blew me away on Sat.
The kid is a real good rider as well. He and Biancone are tearing it up.
