Default Trippi's Storm

I know it was a meaningless allowance race on the turf, but did anybody catch the performance by Trippi's Storm in the 7th yesterday at Gulfstream? This is a bizzare horse, was a maiden for a year and a half (despite running a TG 2), they switch him to the turf, and he's won 2 in a row. Yesterday, he was last on the rail turning for home, as I am cursing out MR Cruz for a no effort ride, he starts passing horses in the final 1/8, goes by a Pletcher horse who was unchallenged on the lead in average fractions like he is standing still, wins going away. Possibly one to keep an eye on.

Yes, "Calder at Gulfstream" is still running. The weather around the country scared me off of the "big" race tracks, so I decided to take a shot with the TG's at Gulf. Fairly big mistake!

I am done until the Derby but I am considering a fairly large DD wager at Hawthorne this coming weekend. I think they are going to make the Sixty Sails/Cup the last two races to make them a DD and I might be making one wager that day, DD with Indian Vale/Sweetnorthernsaint if the payout is right...Absolutely love that Master Command is possible, SNS will dust that horse

No DD and I will be off until the 28th, which I am actually GOING to Hawthorne for the Illinois 2 year old Training sale, want to go to a sale and I would rather drive down to Hawthorne in day light, so we are getting down there for racing, and then check out the auction

that was a remarkable run, I can't believe how he threaded though inside and out like that. that horse was much the best and I agree he should be watched for.

WTF ever...I could earn my Derby Day bankroll on betting the odds that you are done until May 5.

If they don't have a stakes DD I am done hard core until Derby Day. April 28th I am going to Hawthorne with $120 and playing $1 supers in every race trying to win 5k to buy a horse at the auction later that night. If I do buy a horse, I am going to yell after I pay for it "I NEED A TRAINER"

Just watched Trippi's Storm on replay. Well timed ride, full of run.

One to watch next time for sure. Thanks for the heads up.

Taking a shot with the TG's anywhere is a mistake. Although, the $25 is usually worth the toss outs.

That's a shame Robfla.....

Steve Richardson, who annually makes seven figure profits betting the horses, he had it by the way.....not that anyone should be surprised about that fact.

Here's his winning ticket.



Steve typically waits until the end of the week to cash all his winning Pick 4 tickets....he's "had" 38 of the last 41 pick fours he's played at Gulfstream Park. Quite a connection rate!

He's one of the great internet horse racing charlatans of all time. Maybe DrugS can tell us all about their track " dates ".

Oh I forgot.....Stevie didn't show.

When he's not posting pictures of W-2G tax forms to prove his brillance.

Epicocity is the best word to describe him I believe.

What he isn't posting is EVERY ticket he bets.

I liked when he talked about his good friend Andy Beyer.

No offense intended to anyone, but who is Steve Richardson?

He showed up on another site last year with outrageous claims of annual seven figure winnings at the track ( without a rebate ). He would have made Mike Warren blush.

It was great stuff.
