That is a shame your husband doesn't like the track. But really I can help you with the bets it makes it fun, and you won't be too sad about losing. I will teach you to read programs, that is the first thing you need to learn.
Well, he's a golfer so he's busy on Saturday afternoons frequently. I suppose I could try a bet or two on your advice, how much money should I bring? Is $25 enough for 10 races?

lol 25 is plenty. Trust me for 2/race I can get you started on the right foot and you will have lots of fun.


You don't even have to bet every race, often I find I don't have time because I become so enthralled looking at the horses in the paddock that I want to follow them to the track to take pictures. And then I just stand down on the rail.

Bold was kicked off the last forum he was at for laughing at Barbaro's tragedy.

Here are two Lost in the Fog local videos:

From last March:
http://www.ktvu.com/video/4273210/detail.html

From last October:
http://www.ktvu.com/video/5051259/detail.html

All his races are on Calracing.com


He is also by far my favorite horse and I have been to every one of his GGF starts including his debut.

Athletics005, thank you so much for the video clips!!!!!!!!! Outstanding!!!!!!!!! I love Fog, and hope to be able to get off work for his next race in CA. That's awesome that you've been to most of his races!!!!!!!

And Bold Brooklynite got kicked off a forum for laughing at Barbaro???? That doesn't sound right!!!!!!! He seems so nice and friendly here!!!! I think their must be more to the story than that.

Well it's all about the confidence like i was trying to say earlier.



You can overcome anything even being unpopular in high school. I wasn't always this smooth LOL. Sometimes you just have to act like you're the sh*t before people will start believing you're the sh*t.

I think I'll try that. As you can tell by my nme, I wasn't all that popular with the ladies back in the day.

Thanks again, Flow Jo.

Mr. Brooklynite is one of the most knowlegeable and well informed people I have ever met that are either involved or participate in this game.

Folks, that's the TRUTH. You're in for a treat.
Wow, I bet their are some great stories you could tell me. How awesome!!!!!!!! See, someone else was saying that Bold Brooklynite was actually happy that Barbaro hurt himself, or something like that. I just can't see how he would!!!!!!! He seems like a super nice guy. Both of you do!!!!!!! I have a lot to learn and I am sooooooo happy that you didn't get mad for me posting a thread that talked about a pretty horse!!!!!!!!! Your nice. I bet you could teach me so much!!!!! I look forward to reading all you type, Dixie Porter. Thanks for not being mean!!!!!

I have been following your posts. Tell me you really want to change that crapola after your posts, " the spins stops here", and then I can trust you on further posts?

FoxNews = CNN Trivial tripe for liberals = utter stupidity for conservatives.

Both networks losers who hide from reality. Give the people what they want to hear. Utter crap for people who cant think for themselves.

He does have a cute head doesn't he? I love him too.

Lost in the Fog is very underrated in terms of appearance. For my money, his tail is in the top 3 of all time.

As I mentioned in another post ... I was overseas for three weeks and I'm still playing catchup with more important matters ... but have no fear ... I'll be back here before long ... dazzling you and everyone else with my amazing brilliance.

Meanwhile ... you can visit Horseracingtalk.com ... and peruse my archive of nearly 3,000 posts. Among the things you'll find are:

• In 2004 I predicted that Smuggler would be the 2005 3YO Filly champion.

• Two weeks before the 2005 BC Sprint ... when Lost In The Fog was being hailed as the greatest sprinter since Domino ... I predicted that he'd fold like a cheap suit and finish out of the money.

• In early March 2006 ... when Bernardini was a complete unknown ... I predicted that he was the most talented 3YO colt and would soon become a G1 stakes winner.

• Also in early March 2006 ... when Songster was a complete unknown ... I predicted he would become the best 3YO sprinter.

• In February 2006 ... when Matz announced his training plans for Barbaro ... I predicted that Barbaro would be unfit for the Triple Crown races and would not be able to complete them.

• In August 2005 ... I predicted that Mayan King ... a total unknown ... would be a serious contender for 2006 Horse Of The Year. Mayan King recently ran a mile at Belmont in the same time that Silver Train won the Met Mile ... and if he stays healthy ... will surely be contending for Horse Of The Year.

• Two years ago ... I pointed out that Todd Pletcher was unsuccessful in developing colts to win G1 races at classic distances on dirt. Now ... that topic is all the "buzz" in the racing media.

• In early 2005 ... I predicted that Funny Cide would never win another open graded stakes and that his only chance to win another race would be against New York-bred competition.

There are many, many other examples of my brilliance in analyzing and prognosticating thoroughbred racing ... and ... as Casey Stengel often said ... "you can look them up" ... simply by going to the Horseracingtalk.com archives.

Happy hunting!

Ohhhhh, you called me sweetie!!!!! I really like you, Bold Brooklynite!!!!! Everyone has been so nice here!!!! This is the first horse racing place I've ever posted at and I feel so welcome!!!!! I'm not sure I can relate to the "bitter hags", since I'm probably closer in age to the little girls. (20 years old). I like the people on this site so far. and am learning a lot just by reading all your posts. You seem really smart, Bold Brooklynite. I hope I havent made you mad by posting this thread!!!!!!!![/quote]
Oh, Gawd ... another Horseracingtalk denizen posting on this site under another a different name.

C'mon, sweetie ... tell us who you really are ... as if we didn't know.
