Hot Springs

HOT SPRINGS—I walked from my car to the Oaklawn Park press box by way of the stables this morning for 41:12.
I lost at total of $2.60 on horses. After eight trips, I'm up $8.10 for the season.

DR. PETE'S STONE COLD SURER THAN TWO MOTHERFUCKERS LOCK OF THE LAST 13.772  BILLION YEARS
Race 5 today at Oaklawn Park. Bet half of everything you have and can steal between now (2:37 p.m. Central) and post time, scheduled for 3:08 p.m., on Chip Van Winkle (No. 5) to win.
RESULT
Fucker got beat at the wire.

Stuff starting to make the paper just as I wrote it

Asmussen, like most horsemen, is keenly aware of the infinite variables that transcend a trainer’s influence and assist or retard performance. He asks for the best, particularly in terms of his and his assistants’ effort. After that, he said all he can do is accept and assess what is before him and use it to prescribe the next step.

Petrov had trainer Ron Moquett’s hopes up as he roared into the stretch, but One Liner’s momentum was disguised by the rush of Petrov’s move on the final turn. Velazquez said he felt his horse gaining ground, and his confidence soared.
