Jan remarked just prior to the race, "What a big turf foot," it had. Courtly Dee was one of my favorite broodmares. Native Courier ring a bell. The only surprise was why the heck Helen Alexander and Helen Groves would even think of selling this regally bred horse at auction for ONLY $50,000, very unreal, not to mention the race. Dawdled at the start, dead last, taken outside in the stretch in which you never thought it could make up that much ground with where the leaders were in the stretch. This is one to follow, has the makings and the breeding of a future stakes winner, I believe.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8711985.post-22811987338423071912008-11-23T21:48:00.000-05:002008-11-23T21:48:00.000-05:00I've noticed one change at NYRA from afar last wee...I've noticed one change at NYRA from afar last week. I kept getting a recording and had to wait minutes to get through to the betting line when I called a number of times. In the past, this has rarely happened except on big race days, or maybe at 3 MPT in the first race or race 4 when there's a big carryover.<BR/><BR/>But Wednesday and Friday, it happened a lot. Staff cutbacks? I guess I shouldn't complain, I only got shut out once, and it saved me $$.<BR/><BR/>But Alan, you gotta go after 'em like Fox. Is it really true they pal around with terrorists? Or that they don't pal around enough with horseplayers! (Careful here, I've known a number of horesplayers who, on the wrong, day, at the wrong moment, with the wrong provocation, could have ended up at Creedmore, if not Guantanamo.) All I know is, whenever I lose a photo, it is either NYRA's fault or global warming.steve in nchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04061356872686618093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8711985.post-49349334538511710152008-11-23T17:18:00.000-05:002008-11-23T17:18:00.000-05:00Yes.
