I am from Louisville an dI do agree. The Oaks is a secret amoung the locals. I have been going to the oaks for years now, as well as the derby and the oaks is more of a calm crowd. There aren't as many tourists and its always a good time. But I do love the craziness of the derby :)

Hala Bek is still in the Epsom Derby.\n\nThere was a forfeit stage this afternoon and he is one of 33 that still stand their ground.

My early pick for the Derby this year??? Hint: Watch Barabaro, owned by Michael Matz. I truly expect that these two names, Barbaro in particular, will be seen in the news more and more as Derby time approaches.

Yeah, I've been there.  Always had a good time, but level of racing is definitely a cut below the major tracks.  Grove City is pretty industrial, so if you go I'd say stay in downtown Columbus.\n\nOh, yeah; I just watched the first couple races there on simulcast today and was reminded--Beulah Park is often used by out of town trainers for class relief.  So if you see a horse that has raced or trained at, say, Arlington or Hollywood Park, it's probably a good bet even if the animal's form is questionable.  It is really not a high level of competition that goes on there.  Edgar Paucar and Cesar Camaque are probably the two best jockeys.

i'm not sure if anyone goes tonight as the preview looked like tonight is a recap.  I want her to stay, I really think she has a chance if she gets her confidence up is Jada, but I think she is close to going.

you don't have tickets yet? where are you planning on getting them from? asll the good seats are sold by now, although the race is not a complete sellout yet. i've only been to dover once, i sat between turns one and 2. pretty good seats. the higher up you are the better, so you can see the whole track. bring a little extra money if you're into gambleing, there are slot machines there, right on the grounds. BUT, they are not open sunday morning before the race because of some blue law. they open at 1:00PM if i remember right.

go to some of the local businesses in your area and see if they would be intrested. be sure to bring proof of your involvement in the race. try some family memebers who are on your side. get going you only have a week....

Dont back - lay the horses, its the only way to make money from racing. Contact me if you are interested. The favourite, Dabbers Ridge, will NOT win the 3.20

Not yet, but I probably will if a person from Y!A lives somewhere in or near the KC metro & asks me to come over to meet her.  I'm for real.  Check me out, if you like.

Declarations are not in yet for this meeting, but will be later this afternoon - check out www.racingpost.co.uk and click Cards on the left hand side of the page, then select the date you want and finally the course.\n\nAs a rough guide when picking out horses it is always a good idea to look at them in the paddock before the race.  Check to see if they look well (shiny coat, bright eyes, not looking overweight) and how they are reacting to the surroundings.  As a rule of thumb a horse that misbehaves before a race will not run well as they are not concentrating on their job.\n\nFinally pick up a Racing Post tomorrow morning and read through the form guides before you get to the meeting.\n\nHappy racing!
