Today is the day!!

Postby Teri111 » Wed Aug 26, 2009 9:18 am

I get to go to Del Mar, my first time ever to see the races in person.
I am very excited, I am sure I will have a great time.

Especially if Tiago wins.

Enjoy your day. TV doesn't do it justice. Good luck to Tiago.

Best wishes for Tiago. SOOOOOO happy to see him running again. One of my personal favorites. I was beginning to doubt he'd ever run again.

I hope he fares reallt well and we get to see a good bit more racing from him.

The Southern California male crop could certainly use the shot in the arm if he's anywhere near his "A" game!!

For that matter ... The whole industry could use another talented male to boost it up! There's such a weak male crop right now. Only a handful of note.

Sorry, Terri. I was hoping Tiago would win. I know how you feel. Mr. Hot Stuff didn't win for me either. He finished third. I hope you still enjoyed your visit to the beautiful track.

I had an absolutely wonderful day!!!

I actually had tears when the first race started and they went by me. And when I saw Tiago I just fell in love with him all over again(and yes more tears, my husband says I will cry at anything, commercials and all). We were at the finish line, but also saw them walk by to the track itself. I was less then 15 feet from Tiago! Tiago lost but I kind of figured he might so I bet $2.00 to win on him, but then got a $1.00 exacta box on the 1A Skyrush and the 9 Racketeer and won $107.00, so it wasn't all that bad. lol

Even my husband had a good time, he decided he likes all the longshots, he hit Made For Magic in the 5th but that was it, but he had fun. He said we can go back Friday or Saturday!

I wish I could go every day, it is so much better in person. I had such such great day!!!

Tiago looked a little too eager to go today, after coming off the 6 month layoff. I hope he came out of the race okay and look forward to seeing him at SA in the Goodwood and then the BC classic. I guess that would be the plan, unless Zenyatta shows up in the Classic

Amen to that! Del Mar is a really nice track.

Glad you had such a good time, and you won some money too!
I bet on a horse at ten-to-one. It didn't come in until half-past five.
My horse was so late getting home, he tiptoed into the stable.
