Arkansas Derby Day (Sat. 4/2)

[BOA12]

Hey BOA12!!!!!

I am going to date myself here but I have been going down to Oaklawn since the early 80s. I do not go as much and play at home through the ADWs. Do not know of any OTB other than the 3 casinos (West Memphis, Pine Bluff, Oaklawn).

I enjoy interacting with this bunch here. I see a wealth of knowledge and experience in this sub form.

I wanted to post this yesterday but did not get it up. I went back 20 years ago and looked at the card on Arkansas Derby Day. They actually had a $5000 claimer on the list of races offered. My how far this little hick track has come. Yesterday's racing was a treat for horse players.

Good luck today. I may take a look at some of today's action and will drop in on the members posts here and observe what you guys are playing.

I'm Happy that OP been given the respect that alludes many small and some large venues. You're a lifer like me, when you had to Go to the Track to bet it. Had the map of the USA from DRF W/All the track locations. Been to maybe 20 different tracks, though 10 or more may be no more.

Hey JBEX,


The filly looks tough but I am going to try to beat her hoping one of these guys has improved since their last start and she just may have peaked, because if she takes a step forward she will be mighty hard to beat. Take a look at Cyberknife's last effort. It is approx. 10 lengths faster than the Lecomte run in Janurary. They took the blinkers off for this last race and looks like he may have appreciated the change. Love his sire. He represents his Momma as her 3rd foal with the first 2 being fillies out of Kitten's Joy not showing much. If he is close to that ML @ post I am intrigued.

I was on Barber Road. Wish my old brain had connected your post with mine. Nice pick!!
