Mullins really screwed himself with that "horseplayers are idiots" comment. Now most people, myself included, can't stand the guy. Meanwhile, Jones had a profile in last week's New Yorker which basically equated him to the horse whisperer. -JP from SD.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8711985.post-51090041180211670972009-05-07T22:40:00.000-04:002009-05-07T22:40:00.000-04:00Zayat, while confirming PON is running, is half th...Zayat, while confirming PON is running, is half threatening to enter enough colts to keep rachel out of the preakness.<br /><br />But the drf article indicates the conditions of the race do no automatically put supplemental nominations at the back of the line.<br /><br />could be a lawsuit brewing?<br /><br />Off topic, with all the prerace talk about Mullins suspension starting the day after the derby, did anyone even see it mentioned that larry jones also had a positive with the suspension beginning the same day?<br /><br />Seems when they don't like someone, it is a big story, but when he is a sympathic figure, under the radar.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8711985.post-53418260455904649152009-05-07T19:32:00.000-04:002009-05-07T19:32:00.000-04:00http://tinyurl.com/cn9c34

Is it to soon to make an internet bet on this as a result of Barney Frank's newly introduced bill?<br /><br />Speculation coming out of Albany has the NYRA trying a bid with a former MGM gaming executive and maybe the Detroit family that backed the Shinnecock tribe bid the last go round; DelNorth; S.L. Green with new partners Jeff Gural and Plainfield Asset Management; Mohegan Sun, R.Donahue Peebles who may have left DelNorth, and some "new unnamed" bidder that has everyone trying to ascertain who it might be. <br /><br />Let's hope the folks in the capital pick a legitimate winner this time before Aqueduct turns into Roman like ruins!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8711985.post-19776793818532785342009-05-07T10:50:00.000-04:002009-05-07T10:50:00.000-04:00>>Anyone care to speculate on the bidders, w...>>Anyone care to speculate on the bidders, who they are, both old and new?<br /><br />Perhaps an over-under on the new upfront payment $$$$ amount?>><br /><br />I think Del North and SL Green will obviously re-bid; the latter's lawsuit against the former seemed timed for these proceedings. Mohegan Sun seems interested again, but apparently w/o Cap Play. Personally, I'd be surprised if we see any new faces.

Seems as though there is a hex on this new stadium, the Gods saying "You spent way too much on this place, your hubris offend us", just as they have to everybody else it seems.<br /><br />Red Sox need to make Tampa Bay the new Yankees and treat them accordingly. For some reason, everybody beats Tampa except the Sox who have dropped 5 out of 6 so far. Put pinstriped suits on Tampa with TB in Yankee logo letters and see if that gets the bull pawing the ground? /S/greenmtnpunterAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8711985.post-73746034371490374132009-05-07T10:32:00.000-04:002009-05-07T10:32:00.000-04:00Girardi should have pitched around Pena, you dont ...Girardi should have pitched around Pena, you dont throw a strike to the league's leading HR hitter.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8711985.post-33585906193505015272009-05-07T09:38:00.000-04:002009-05-07T09:38:00.000-04:00I know this seems apropo of nothing, but...as a fo...I know this seems apropo of nothing, but...as a former Jersey boy, I'd like to point out Monmouth opens up this weekend.
