    I live about a mile from Turfway Park. CHD is the owner now and is completely rebuilding it. Really hoping it’s up and running for the winter meet Belterra Park (River Downs) is about 10 minutes away. Both places are full of degenerates. I love it.

    Lots of rumors about them selling Turfway for the land, but it seems like they’re committed to the new racino and grandstand now.

    Can me in real horse country in about 45 minutes. Really hoping Keenland is open fully in the fall. Never been to CHD.

    I haven’t. It’s 4 hours south of here. Wouldn’t mind checking it out because if the unique track, but wouldn’t make a special trip.

    I grew up in some real shit holes before the casino money cleaned places up. Last time I was in Turfway was probably NYE 2019. They still had metal troughs in the restrooms.

    Wheeling Downs greyhound track had to be the worst though. What a dark fucking place.

    Downs would be a good trip if I were in the area, it’s a unique track for sure. I just hate betting it lol.

    I’d love to check out Saratoga harness track, it looks fun enough being right off the racino up here.

    I have my betting under control. Really only throw money around on the big race days and if we’re at Turfway. Love that you bet it online.

    I’d say the track I spent the most time at as a kid was the Ladbrokes Harness track in Pittsburgh. Always a good time at a harness track.

    Really wish they’d find a way to get more Derby horses into the Preakness. Sure sounds like everyone packed up and went home to focus on the Belmont or the summer classics.

    Really wish they'd lengthen the TC. Dunno how they'd do it, Preakness can't go much later and I don't really want the Derby any earlier. Would be a lot safer for the horses and could add more drama more regularly to the Belmont.

    Would be great to see the Grand Slam be more of an official thing and incorporate the Travers, but I don't want the TC "watered down" either.

    Isn’t the TC already watered down if everyone bails on the Preakness?

    I’d be curious to know what the current Breeding deals on the Derby horses look like. Definitely seems like Preakness doesn’t have a “kicker” it’s classic status suggests. Obviously, animal health is very important, but if we’re not trying to win a Classic what the hell is the point?

    His best chance of pulling off a trainer Triple Crown rather than a single-horse Triple Crown imo.

    Could be an interesting race. Seems like there will be a lot of speed. Medina Spirit doesn’t look like a horse that can win 2 classics in 14 days with other horses pressing the pace. We shall see.

    Not sure what he’s got in his stable for the Belmont, but I’m sure there is someone.

    What a mess. I’m not dumb enough to think only Baffert is doing this, but how does he keep being dumb enough to get caught?

    FWIW, a lot of people I know think doping is what actually causes the horses to run less. Pack them full of everything imagineable for training and pull them off a few weeks before the race.

    I know one guy who hit big on Derby Day who hasn’t cashed his ticket yet. Lol.

    Isn’t every horse tested after the race?

    I’m honestly not sure on how testing works.

    Maximum Security is probably the last high profile non Baffert horse to be linked with doping. His trainer is ended up getting federally indicted. Wouldn’t be surprised if I missed someone.

    Baffert’s record is very damning at this point. I’m sure some stable boy will take the fall.

    I guess Baffert is saying that an ointment used by the horse had a steroid in it, per ESPN.

    Baffert did the totally not guilty thing of changing his story or theory like 15 times in the last 48 hours.

    Hit a $10 trifecta, $10 exacta, and $100 on Essential Quality to win at Belmont. Basically saved my betting season.

    Heading up to Saratoga for opening day Thursday. Haven't been this pumped since the Belmont last year.

    Can somebody who knows better than me tell me what rows are covered with an awning in the Grandstand section of Saratoga Race Course? The ticket guy told me there is an awning in the Grandstand so I thought all rows are covered, but after looking at "A View from My Seat" I'm not so sure. Thanks.
