All bets are real, so are the losses.
Be welcoming.

Bittersweet congratulations. Incredible claimed by Will Walden.
I was a fractional owner of Incredible through MyRaceHorse. Claims are tough part of the game, but was lucky to see Incredible run in person more than once while a (teeny tiny) owner.
Very proud of him. Wish new connections well.

Congratulations to Incredible (the handsome gray gelding in my profile pictures) on his 2nd place finish tonight at Turfway Park.
Sat well off the pace and was full of run, making a 6-wide (!) sweep around the far turn into a solid finish.
No shame being bested by 4-5 fav.

It's amazing that people get to fill out their tax return and enter "farrier" for occupation.

There was no doubting Good Cheer’s closing power, and she proved it yet again.
She even had a past win in the slop.
Will we see her at Pimlico in two weeks?

Looking at the win-place-show handles for today’s races at Santa Anita.
Two of the biggest were restricted races for Northern California horses and horsemen.

The free Equibase past performance is today's 7th race at Colonial Downs.
4 of the 8 runners scratched leaving only a quartet.
Gonna have to pass on that one and watch basketball instead.
See you again soon.
