Saratoga - final weekend stakes

Postby geowarrior » Sat Sep 01, 2007 11:30 am

Well people, here's the racing section and not a single comment on today's races. What about Lawyer Ron, is he that good? And how about Maimonides, is he really that good?

Crap, I was watching college football and forgot to watch TVG on Sports South for the Hopeful. How'd it go?

I thought the Hopeful was scheduled for Monday. It is the Forego and the Woodward for today. (I'm quite sure)

The Hopeful is on Monday - only FOUR entered. Pathetic!

I think however Corinthian is the best horse in the race. rather he runs or acts a damn fool is yet to be determined, but he's heads and shoulders better than anything in that race when right, including lawyer ron, who he beat 2 back. let's not forget.

Yeah I can't believe I thought today was the 3rd. I looked at the wrong schedule and now I've gone and missed the Forego. At least the Woodward's not over yet.

Lawyer Ron dominated.

I'm sorta looking forward to seeing Georgetown sink or swim. I know his full-sister well and she started off hot and then flattened out.

If he does get a G1 under his belt, he'll be an interesting stallion prospect. He'll be closely related to Jump Start but has a more open pedigree than he does.

I'll say he did. Looked like Corinthian was going to make a run at him, and LR said, "Not today boy!"
