Last Post Wins

[mariasmon]

Hmm. There aren't a whole lot of options other than to send him to the Goodwood?

[Afrashad]

Not really. Mettee says he doesn't like the dirt, so that leaves them back at square one.

[Afrashad]

Sheikh Rashid's horrible horse names continues with Tevez the Tiger. I'm sensing a trend here. The colt is by Cuvee out of Eighteen Carat and was bought for $450,000.

[mariasmon]

Perhaps Jalil will take a shot at the Shadwell Mile? A lot of times some upstart will win that race. Purim last year comes to mind. Doesn't seem like they know what to do with him.

[Afrashad]

He could very well take to the turf here. It will be interesting to see what they do.

[Silverbulletday]

I just hope the horse wakes up! :undecided:

I, on the other hand, am far too awake for this hour of the night. :tongue:

[mariasmon]

I can't believe Songster still hasn't raced. What is the holdup? What was the point of sending him to Saratoga?

[Vertigo]

9:30 and I am tired.


stupid school

[mariasmon]

It's almost midnight here and I'm not tired. I should never have taken that nap. Unless I take one almost the second I get home, it's a huge mistake.

[Vertigo]

Never take naps!

[Afrashad]

I need a nap.

[mariasmon]

Naps rock. The best ones are when you can sleep for about 20 mins and then go on with life. But those are hard for me. Usually because I can't wake up after just 20 mins, but sometimes because I feel, like, pressured or something and can't fall asleep.

[Afrashad]

Little Belle's going to the Ruffian. Most interesting.

[mariasmon]

Hmm. Indian Blessing is running there, too, right? LB could still run in the Spinster, too, though. It's a month away.

[Afrashad]

The Spinster is definitely still possible. I just thought it was interesting that they were putting her in a race with older horses and keeping Music Note with the three-year-olds.

[mariasmon]

If Little Belle would happen to be able to win the Ruffian, Spinster and BC, a championship could still come her way. But Zenyatta's going to be tough to beat in the BC, that's for sure.

[Afrashad]

At least we know LB can run on synthetics.

[mariasmon]

She does fine in the slop, too (Oaks), which she'll probable see on Saturday.

[Afrashad]

That's true too, and at least they're taking her out of MN's shadow. She's a very nice horse in her own right and should have a chance to prove that without the comparisons.

[mariasmon]

Where is MN running? The Gazelle?
