Ramblings

July 7, 2008

I’m really looking forward to this weekend. Not only do we have the Summit of Speed to look forward to, but the Swaps, Man O’ War, and Barbaro just to name a few. I’m really interested to see how Benny the Bull runs. He just barely got up for the win last time out, and probably didn’t run his best race. I expect a massive improvement this weekend. He isn’t unbeatable, but is certainly the best. With the likes of Fabulous Strike, and Street Boss on the prowl, he will have to earn a win in the Breeders Cup.

I may head down to River Downs tomorrow. Going on a Tuesday probably isn’t very smart but some friends want to go, so what the heck. The races will probably be horrible so I doubt I’ll wager much, if it at all. Who knows, maybe I’ll just sit in the paddock and watch the horses. Check back later this week for stakes selections. I’m pulling out all the stops and putting my best foot forward this weekend. I’m going to bring it. Make sure to check the “Race of the Week” on the red toolbar. I’m not sure which race I will use this weekend, but I’m leaning towards the Man O’ War. I wonder if Curlin will win as easy on the turf as he does on the dirt? I guess we will just have to wait for Saturday!
