Hey anyone watching the race? Lets talk here. Moderator, if I screw this up, please erase it.

[The Raven]

Place your money on "Lucky Dan"

[Lemondropkid31]

Hahaha yea, course I dont think they meant it that way. It was probably a fun way to race home

[Matchett-PI]

I'm in the Orlando, Florida area and we are getting deluged with rain and lightening like you wouldn't believe (effects of the tropical storm hitting the Panhandle.) I just hope my TV and computer cable doesn't get knocked out again before the race is over. I want to videotape it.

[Matchett-PI]

Yep.

[Reform4Bush]

Yup, I just checked on that.

I swear, they showed a #9 horse winning a race and made a comment like 'Afleet Alex bowled a 300' as they led into their bowling programming. I've been frantically checking for results for the past half hour.

FR sets me straight once again.

[Endeavor]

Hang in there, bud, and send me some of your rain (midwest).

[Lemondropkid31]

Yea, they are usually started a lot sooner than this, but the regular person who does this couldnt do it this time, so I filled in at the last minute.

[Lemondropkid31]

Hahaha!!! they may have. There was a little blurb about Alex playing in all kinds of sports and they showed the horse bowling. Mabe that is what you heard.

[Savage Beast]

I think the storm's headed for Indiana...

[Inge_CAV]

Riders will be mounting up shortly.

[Matchett-PI]

Well thanks a lot for filling in. I always look for these racing threads.

I heard them say that the Belmont is the oldest of the triple crown races and was run at Jerome, NY the first time and moved to Morris, NY later on. The second winner of the Belmont was a filly.

[Matchett-PI]

I'd be glad to send you some of this rain. We were hit with 4 hurricanes here last year. It was UNBELIEVABLE!

[Inge_CAV]

Oh no, they made it an afternoon of horse racing. Then hitch them up and go home. : )

[Lemondropkid31]

Yea, the race is older than the racetrack. I didnt know a filly won it the second time though.

[Lemondropkid31]

Oh! Ok, that makes more sense.

[Types_with_Fist]

Cool! I like Afleet Alex but you can't rule out Giacamo. However it turns out these two horses should be in the top three finishers. So my official prediction is...

1. Afleet Alex
2. Giacamo
3. This week's longshot.

or...

1. Giacamo
2. Afleet Alex
3. This week's longshot.

or...

1. This week's longshot
2. Afleet Alex
3. Giacamo

Safe enough?...:-)

[Lemondropkid31]

I dojnt see how you can loose when you have it that way LOL

[Types_with_Fist]

That's the idea...:-)

[Endeavor]

that's just east of me.

[Inge_CAV]

That is *Safe* enough, your bases are covered........
