Burke Brigade
« on: August 26, 2024, 09:39:54 PM »
Big day for them tomorrow.. not only is TCI qualifying at the meadows tomorrow, which was mentioned in a different thread, Bythemissal who only has 2 starts this year and Swingtown who hasn't raced since August 2nd is as well. Chris Page is listed to drive all 3. I'm glad he's feeling better after that accident at Scioto.

Update all 3 won.. Swingtown 154.1 sat 3rd the whole mile and closed well..TCI 154.3 sat 2nd the whole mile and won.. Bythemissal 151.3 pretty much gait to wire and won by 14 lengths. I don't care much about TCI as others have said he has been passed by this year. Swingtown looked like a monster early this year, his next start will be interesting. Lastly I hope Bythemissal returns to past form.. it would be nice to inject some fresh blood into the older open division which has been a little lackluster this year.

Good update/comments. My only thought is about TCI. Watching him he appears to have pretty much "one speed" and does not possess that extra gear that most great horses have.

UPDATE..  Just read an article that Bythemissal will race on 9-7 at Scioto in the Jim Ewart memorial.. TCI will race on 9- 9 at Pocono in the PASS finals and that Swingtown is being pointed to the Metro at Mohawk on 9-14 and 9-21.

  • rainman2: Plop can read how STUPID/DUMB Andrew really is by TROLLING me after a few days of peace and quiet here!  Sorry plop, I didn't start it this time and he'll have to deal with me.  Sorry to potentially ruin plop for some here.  You go deal with Andrew over this!

  • Sweet: Rainman2, that's a big screen name you swing around here...and you wear it well.  tmbz1  With that said, and you and Andrew geared up for another TC race, think Dewey Love as a nickname!  ;D

  • rainman2: New differences of opinion starting with new individuals starting, old differences on plop returning!  Will there ever be peace here?  I’ve been good until Andrew started the trolling again!

  • Sweet: There very well might be a Twilight Zone spot happening on the backstretch at Scioto Downs, what the heck is happening that is spooking the hell out of the horses and making the drivers look like drunks  ngc3
