eeek

NYRA might have profiled the wrong filly for that race at Aqueduct tomorrow. Umm, sorry? We'll come back soon enough, I promise.

Without getting into the details, this being a public forum and all, it looks like we won't even be running at Charles Town tomorrow, which had been the plan. The filly is perfectly fine, but administrative issues associated with her foal papers have left her ineligible to run on the day. Too boring to get into, really. The folks down in West Virginia can keep walking all over my heart, but we'll always be BFF. I'm a masochist like that.

Plan D is one of two spots at Laurel later next week. One against boys on Thursday, the other versus fillies that have knocked off the x1 allowance condition (in the book for Friday). Whatever. I'll take a field of wild donkeys at this point with bags of salted peanuts as the purse. She needs to race and she can hang with anyone that would go in those two races, so hopefully one of them fills. Ladies and gentlemen: the T Street Empire!

Sean - Contessa's filly was quite the buzzsaw yesterday, though perhaps wouldn't have had things as easy had you not scratched. Good luck if you go at Laurel and keep us posted.

Will do, Alan. No harm keeping powder dry after watching race unfold; post just bugged me and we wouldn't have been as keen to go on early as the winner was. Maybe second in there with any kind of trip. Thanks for stopping by site. Yours always a good read.
