outside of the Breeders Crown and Breeders Cup it is the greatest day of racing in North America. Top horses in each division racing saturday.

although it's lost much of it's luster, due to the decline in interest in harness racing overall, this is a fairly decent card. much better than in the last 5 years or so. no stickout in hambo final, which more often than not isn't the case. 2 us pacing derby championship races for older horses fairly appealing. nice early start for degenerates to flow into. dime supers abound and the .50 pik 5 has caught on. if you go live don't stand in line for the chicken barbecue as they cannot keep up with it and it is undercooked.

i'm a kielbasa guy,myself,and,i am also undercooked.
good luck everyone.

[unusialsusp5]

no, you're overcooked. as in cooked out. why aren't you at the otb facility today continuing your assault on anything that moves in a counterclockwise direction.

[cecil127]

Got an E-mail about this today. Will check it out Saturday.

[orioles]

I miss Freestate. I hope they get Rosecroft back to its heyday.

[unusialsusp5]

harness racing will never return to maryland except for the junk they run at ocean. the atlantic seaboard circuit which was once a big deal is not returning.

[cecil127]

im looking forward to the huge crowd saturday. a throwback to the golden days of harness racing

[Brewers in 7]

I was at Greenwood before they tore it down, it was just a simulcast center when u was there, actually bought i shirt from there..

[josicoyote]

I'm excited about tomorrow too. I can't wait till I can go there live and check it out. To many pets right now to do anything. Going to play in some contests tomorrow, excited about all the races too.

[cecil127]

glad to see even the hardest of t-bred playa's watching the sulkys saturday....

[unusialsusp5]

bad early card at saratoga will help big m. maiden laced early. last 4 at spa decent however.
