If time permits would you please look at this guy. Seems like he can run forever (Little speed) but looks talented to me.

I thought I would post that Rich Dauer who was the 2nd baseman for the Balt. Orioles in the late 70's and early 80's passed away it was announced on Monday. He was 72. He won a world series ring in 1983 with the O's as their 2nd baseman and was with the Astros as the 1st base coach in 2017.

I never got to know Rich well, but we spent a couple of years sitting next to each other at Timonium during the summer meets. Pretty sure I posted about that in here. I know I have somewhere in SBR.
Rich was a super friendly guy. Really welcoming to talk to. He was a quiet kind of guy but when you got to know him a bit, he loosened up and was quite a character. Funny, smart, and he loved going to the track and watching the races for about half the day card before he had to leave for the ballfield for home games.
It's funny, but years, decades removed from the game, some memories and recollections still make me smile and remind me of how much fun it was and how lucky I was to get a chance to talk to all the different people I was so blessed to be able to.
Rich Dauer would be near the top of any list in my mind.

Heck of a guy. Rest in Peace Rich.

I got to know a ton of spring training ball players in the 80's at the Greyhound races. Can remember when I gave them a small play and they all hit a TRI. Me as well. Then your pari-mutual knowledge kicks in. Tri paid circa $600. I had a ticket, but giving 3 more away was $$ out of MY pocket. It was fun anyway as they were all ALPHA people.
Back in the 80's you could go to MIA/WPB etc , sit behind the dugout, have a beer and watch a game for $6??

I know I keep reverting to the old days but they were great times.

sorry to hear str and have a vague recollection of you mentioning him .. without cheating (google) guess he played alongside cal ripken for a few seasons ..maybe eddie murray was the first baseman then

[JBEX]

That is exactly what Barclay does. Start slow, finish up strong, gallop out well. Vintage Barclay.

lot's of nice subtleties going on with this one..looking forward to seeing the race in a couple of hours

[str]

I would've thought that about him also and good additional point ..works pretty steady going back a ways and besides the fast one you mentioned all pretty conservative ..certainly doesn't need blazers off what she did in her debut and probably the way barclay tagg prepares them

I could not argue with the 4 horse. Barclay is so solid. And he never trains for speed. That was all the horse on that 1st race. Maybe JV worked her when she went 58 4/5ths last month. That isn't Barclays style either. That was all from the horse. I don't care what any %'s might say, he is excellent.

my unbiased choice would be #4 smooth claret (6-1)..
think it's interesting JV would hop off #7 considering she didn't run so bad first out ..showed speed vs open msw at baq in sept which matches up pretty well vs these ..I know ..I'm a traitor lol..probable be sorry when the AM scampers home 1st ..I think that ultimately she's going to be a sprinter and trying to get a little stamina while maybe picking up minor spoils underneath

I didn't notice the 120-1 ..certainly made some people happy who spread out underneath in triples and supers that day

She looks alive in this race. Don't let the poor trainers stats fool you. This guy knows what he is doing with babies. I would expect this horse to run well and be prominent early.

On a side note, did you see the 2nd time starter #3 that went off 120.00-1 first time out and finished 3rd. Stepping up off that but you don't see that very often.

[COLOR=rgba(77, 76, 76, 0.9)]Sweet Voyage Update
[/COLOR]
Sweet Voyage has remained in good order at HighPointe. Trainer Jeff Hiles has opted to continue using that uphill synthetic surface over the last week and plans to breeze Sweet Voyage on Wednesday, which will be her final prep work leading up to our target race on February 12th. She will be entered this coming Wednesday as well.https://cdnb-media.myracehorse.com/b...8632621841.mp4

her last race was the same as cassiopeia's..dropping her down a notch here

Talk about a hunch bet. Check out my avatar.

I guessed that's a constellation before I verified..like her in this race besides just being an AM
