  • rorschach1992 · Did he actually state Mission Approved and Dean's Kitten as being some of the best in the WORLD???? MmmHmm.

That's really not a glowing recommendation for Cape Blanco. · 134 days ago ·

  • Winplacsho · I haven't been to all the top level tracks, but Arlington is at the top of my list for sure. I made it to the 2002 BC & the Arlington Millions won by Chester House & Marlin. I was there last summer too, but that polytrack turns me off. · 284 days ago ·

  • Winplacsho · Though Burn the Mortgage looked nice winning the 3rd race, the 1/2 brother of Keertana, Monastic, had a horrible trip. Look for him to break his maiden next out. · 289 days ago ·

  • Winplacsho · Also, think about putting Bonnie (#5 in the first race) on your stable mail. She ran a nice 3rd and took alot of money early on for being 12-1 morning line. · 289 days ago ·
