Saturday is gunna be such a COOL day for racing!

VAL T VS DONATO!! Donato is gunna have to work for this one. Val T trotted away from the Princess last week, can't wait to see what happens when he comes for Donato.

Wow Monkey only has to beat 5 horses. That is one of the smallest maiden fields I've ever seen in NY.

GO RAGS!

[Ryen Hanna]

Haha, The Green Monkey. Call me cynical (and I'm really not!) but I'll believe it when I see it.

[Erin Sanderson]

I'm starting to think The Green Monkey'll never make his maiden voyage...it's been delayed for so long now. I wouldn't be surprised if he "tied up" or had a minor fever or something the morning of the race.

We have the 5 Holla Bend in this race, he ran a nice race last out and has 3 nice works coming into this one. He has been training well and is eating good, he should be ready to run in this one so hopefully we will get our picture taken today!

[Peihe Sun]

good luck Chris and Holla Bend!

[Emily Mitchell]

And Monkey runs third!

Sorry Chris, not Holla Bend's day.

[Nikki Everdeen]

Nobody mentioned that Rags didn't win? I totally forgot about her running (I was busy yesterday) and only remembered when I checked this thread to see where she'd finished!

Hairline fracture to her right pastern - here's hoping for a swift recovery!
