Currently at Churchill Downs at the Breeders Cup with Gamlingman since Thursday Afternoon.... First impressions after arriving was Its Phucking Cold here :( Brrrrrrrrrrr.. Ok enough of the weather Churchill Downs is a lot like Wrigley Field or Fenway Park, Its old historic and built when crowds were on top of the race track there is no space between the rail and the track, the paddock and the standing area etc, and its BIG. They had 41K plus Friday and I thought it was fairly empty either that or they were lying about the attendance.

With that said it is OLD, and as historic as it is, it does not compare to our last two years at Santa Anita, in fact I thought Mommouth park had as much charm.. I know I know all the horse history and we are going to the Kentucky Derby exhibits tomorrow before we leave, but I'm shall we say disappointed, though they do try. The staff and people of Kentucky are some of the nicest down to earth people we have ever met. Hospatality is at its peek and the women are gorgeous, tall and without the North East or south Florida attitude.

OK on to the races... Kinda of an up and down day yesterday with us hitting the ladies classic winner, exacta and trifecta that got me ahead but GMAN is still down a bit. As we move to Saturday its all about the Queen. This place is electric with anticipations towards this event like nothing I've ever seen. We have an opportunity to witness history with Zenyatta trying to go 20-0 perhaps the greatest horse in our history. Me, I have never put 1 dollar on her and she has won 19 times, which means I can't wager on her today as I will mush her I'm sure. I'll just enjoy the event watch her try to make history and perhaps find a Southern Belle to make the night worth wild tonight...

Live From Breeders Cup... The Capper and Gman.
PS: Take Baltimore to the Bank tomorrow over Miami :)

Good Luck To all!

That was quite a race too bad she came up short by a nose.
