Before I start, I am saying right now that I am going to the races to bet on Freddie in the second. It's gettin' pretty close, so if tonite nothing gests published, oh well.
I really need to look at the program.....
Later........
Well, I blew again. Freddy finished third. The ones in front were legit, there was an inquiry and maybe a claim of foul, the winner might have gotten taken down to fourth or fifth, but since I only bet to win it makes no difference. I also bet a $2 double, 6- 9, and the six backed up steadily during the first race. To be sure, as soon as I give up running over there to bet, they'll start running like strip- ed - ass apes. At least Hateya, Stiff, Clyde, and Lazy are none the worse for the wear, though none were completely sound to begin with. And Doc's horse, the Black Bitch, is amazingly OK. Hopefully he'll let Mo ride her back for the win.
I found out Junior's Name, the Chestnut by lemon drop kid, but as far as I am allowed I think he will have to be "pork Chop" to all of you readers. I need for my trainer's sake, to guard his identity. He will be breezing tomorrow, and if all goes well, doing some gate work early next week. He's been there once with me and made no mistakes. He looks the part, alright.
Celibate is also running tonite, but it' s like the 9th race, and I don't like the way he came into the race. Unfortunately I don't feel that it would be appropriate to advertise why, for better or worse. I hope he does well though. Since it's already way past my bedtime, I'm not going to say an ything worthwhile anyway.
