I know it's T-breds, but people don't talk enough about Two Phil's nearly winning the Kentucky Derby last year.

Would've been so huge for Illinois racing to have the 2023 Kentucky Derby winner trained and stabled at Hawthorne. Add on that last year's Preakness was the weakest ever... he could've had a shot at the Triple Crown

Was the best horse in that class and ran the best race that day, but loyalty to the Illinois jockey (Loveberry) was his downfall. So close to something so big

  • dougie: No tournament play there. Two many young cowboys bullying us old guys. Just straight poker. A lot of fun, but you could get hurt if you don't know the players.

  • Trigger: When I refer to cash game I'm thinking non tourn or sit n go, casinos I've played in never let you play for cash only chips but technically a ring game is a cash game too.

  • dougie: Private games are cash only. But the table uses chips to cause no confusion. Buy-in it $1G with 2 other buy in allowed. It is strictly Texas Holdem. Is is no limit but most of the players know each other. No kids playing. I'd say the average age was about 40. Food is included. Usually subs and pizza. Occasionally Chinese food.

  • dougie: We had 8 tables going and the 1G prize is every hour. Todays game is the third private game I ever played. I starting to enjoy private games.

  • Trigger: How many tables partake in the 1g prize and is it 30m or an hour?
