Also if they have that many in the 3 big races every year there will be no triple crown winner ever again.

Good to see you, digby. How’s the youngin’ doing?

He’s doing good. I’ve dropped down to working only a few days a week now so I can look after him & get things ready for us to sell our house here in the coming months. We are gonna end up selling sometime this summer & moving towards end of summer/beginning of fall. Gonna be buying a bigger house up in Greenville since that’s where we want to retire at.

Can D Wayne become the oldest trainer to win a triple crown race ?

I doubt that horse wins this one, although some of the stronger horses from the Derby aren't in this one.

Seize the grey is my pick.  8 horse field is kinda lame.

This may be my pick on name alone. As for lame I think anything over 10 horses is to much, that is Austria racing.

I Think 12 is good. But the twenty stuff is ridiculous

Yea 12 is the limit in my opinion and anything more screws up the better horses like the last Derby.

Cool to hear and me, you and Matt all had the right horse yesterday. I made 4 bucks showing Catching Freedom and got my $6 back on the win bets as free bets and use them later and won on them  at Charles Town, Made $40 all together on horse racing.
