Midweek Venue April 14 (PEN) + BOTS

[Real Quiet]

This Wednesday will take up to one of my favorite tracks, Penn National for BOTS day (Beating On The Stallions). It is a good place to hide out should the fillies rule once again. Post time I believe is around 6:30 PM Eastern Time. Fairly large fields, no turf and a cat or two. Word of Warning...........the colts are primed and ready, KD and CT have thier running shoes on and hopefully a freshened colt will add to our arsenal. Good luck and enjoy.

For New Players:
U may wonder WHAT is BOTS and HOW did it begin?

To answer that:

I created it a year ago as a Segment of the Midweek Contest

It ONLY happens whenever I SCORE!

Last Year the ZENYATTA--RA Trophy
Went to The FILLIES > 7 to 4

Criminal Type won the MVP Award b/c he won
ALL 4 for the Stallions

This Year So Far:

FILLIES 4

INTO-THE-MYSTIC
DUSTY
RUFFIAN
ELITE-MERCEDES

STALLIONS > 0

THE HISTORY OF BOTS:

BATTLE OF THE SEXES:
Once Upon A Time in a Pasture far away there was a major argument going on between some Stallions and Fillies, causing a *Bold Ruckus*

The Stallions contended that THEY were always Better, Faster, Stronger and that
in ANY Race THEY would always Win!

The Fillies, were just tired of the
*Shenanigans* + Bragging of the Big-Boys

They debated that THEY were Smarter, More Clever
And were not Distracted by the Opposite Sex as the Stallions often were!

They believed that they are always 'More-Than-Ready' to meet the Challenge
Therefore -
Their FOCUS is very much sharper!

They agreed to run a Race to Determine:
WHO WAS RIGHT!

They convinced their trainers and owners to set up the Gender-Match-Race-Series to decide this important Debate

They also agreed that no matter which group won
they would consider additional Match Races in the Future and keep a Tally of which group won more often with a Year-End Award to be given to the Winners

They all agreed to this proposal, due to the fact that on any given day, track conditions may vary with the weather, affecting the running surface and thus present an unfair advantage to a particular horse ---- OR Gender!

2009 Was the Inaugural running of the
Gender Challenge

The Fabulous--FILLIES Proved
undeniably that THEY WERE THE BEST!

This Season the Fillies Lead 4-0
but the year is young

We have some new and talented Stallions who
appear to be a Major Threat for the Trophy!


MAY THE BEST GENDER WIN!

Crime Scene: Penn National

Criminally challenging for sure
Not sure these picks will help the Stallions
but there are other more talented who can!

maybe today we can change meaning to

Your Race 9 has typo on prg# and if U did NOT have the NAME with it, You would NOT have had the Horse U Wanted!

STATE COLLEGE >> #3 (Not #1)
