Never seen a card with so many scratches . Weather or drug testing?

Rain, High winds Chesapeake Bridge, and Eastern Maryland route in w issues so its slow .
830p. Will try it.

So, if they go

Let's try RACE 3
SCR 1 and 3
Let's go with
#6 LOVELY LADY MAY 
E Davis/Urbanski. 12 m/l

Expect this mare to hit top 3
Play Show (but Place even Win can't be ruled out.)

Good luck all
Hold onto your hats there

Got to hand it to you JC. You got balls

Driver is 1-97
Horse is 1-47 over last 2 years
Trainer is awlays ofer.

I will agree, this is an awful field though. But just hard to take loser connections.

Im thinking the 2 in this race off what appears to be a couple of purposely bad drives

great to hear Mr. James Witherite calling...I know he has filled in a lot after Pete Medhurst passed away

James was always excellent, but for some reason a few seem very critical

EVERY CHANCE at 25-1 #6 to hit top 3, but
'settled' for bottom super.
$104 super for a 7 horse buck. Nothing wrong w that...if I had.

no excuse for Davis/Urbanski there to miss top 3

Until next time

I remember James when he was at Tioga.  Has a distinctive voice.

High winds on Bay Bridge and Bridge was closed for a period of time. Most horse's ship in from Eastern Shore and have to cross the bridge. Delayed starting time and some said just forget it I'm not going.

He was the original announcer at Chester then left for a job with Gural. Always thought he was an excellent announcer. He's a trained musician and very smart guy with a great vocabulary, which I think some people didn't care for because they didn't understand what some of the words meant.

He can come off as pompous which can rub people the wrong way. Personally I always got along with him.
