I appreciate the thought. my friend. but the international scene has always been slow going as long as I've been posting with Cindy and Tex.  So, 2007.

Harness is slower still.  I used to go at night to the Meadowlands from AQU for a double header.  That's when I was really going.  I'd go to Gulfstream over the winter for a couple of weeks and do Pompano at night.  Loved it

Tex and Cindy both like the international sport.  There are others who chime in from time to time.

I just enjoy putting it out there in case someone wants to try something different from the US game.

Winter keeps up.  Gerh, Plus 2, pianot...you.  

It's all good.  Every day is a gift.

I'm looking at it 18 horse field , tossed 7, they look like the bumpers and can't run straight type

1st blush  I kinda like 3 horses , problem is the 3 are part of the 4 , never mind.

It looks like a pretty good card, a guy does some due diligence , there is money to be made.

Here's a replay of a hotly contested run to the finish of this year's edition.  My choice, Shahryar looked a winner until the actual winner, Vela Azul, just exploded in the last strides to win.

1. Vela Azul  2. Shahryar 3. Weltreisende  4. Daring Tact   Winning time: 2:23.70

Racing at its best, thanks for the Video, You were almost there, Ryan Moore great ride, I focused on the Winner in the replay

and the 2nd place , The winner was blocked at one point in a mob around him , The jockeys get A+ imo ,how do they do that

in a 18 horse field, they deserve to be on ESPN's highlight shows for all sports. A couple of Jocks had some great rides on that card.

Moore and Lemaire or his real name are really good. IMO

Great race!

For sure.

Fantastic ride on the winner, Vela Azul, by Ryan Moore.  He steered the horse through all kinds of traffic and boy, did the horse ever want to run.   Kudos to the trainer for having him primed to the max.

Incredible ride from Ryan Moore.Horse deserves a ton of credit.Stuck to his task and wouldn’t be denied.

Exactly right.  The horse and rider, poetry in motion.
