Race 4   I could not separate 3 horses

#3  10 year old moves into basement. Trainer is very good. Should get a perfect trip behind speedy 10
#4  Ships in from tougher circuit , first time on real sand
#10..long layoff but trainer has been on fire,

P5  3410/458/7/237/710

I like me some Mighy Mountaineer every now and again, not nearly as good since Mark Patterson left. Yeah that poor #1 horse in the 2nd race... not good

You know   I wrote them off after Mark left, but the races are so much more entertaining there than that crap I tuned into at OakGrove I came back

Tajh is really fast

Lots of speed in race

Incredbolt my pic

1000 to win

good info thanks
i believe 'the green monkey' had royal breeding.
never oc knew before how the name came about
16 million, now thats gambling,, my biggest was $200 

TGM was by Forestry, a son of Storm Cat.  Undridled mare.

We're going to start seeing Flightline's first 2 year olds soon. The big seller at OBS in March was hip 1056- since named Zedan -  sold for $10.5 Million. With Baffert now.

The seller of Zedan was Hartley DeRenzo of Ocala, They bought him as a wealing in 2024 for $500,000.

Hartley DeRenzo was also the seller of  The Green Monkey for $16Million. They bought TGM for $400k as a yearling.

I believe cheaters had a lot to do with killing the sport. It leads to way to much chalk and boring races. The Meadowlands empty out many bettors got tired of the cheaters. Yonkers was no different. I had a group of friends that sat in the restaurant. They were small time owners and big bettors. The cheaters ran them out and made them sour.
No one wants to spend hours handicapping to have the cheats blow you away. Horse gamblers want to cash big tickets.
I also had many friends that switch to the runners or poker.
Fast forward to today and yes it is on life support. There are not many fans or bettors left. A few big barns do very well. The majority struggle to stay afloat. I listened to  LUCPARK's story. He has money, used big trainers, and lost much money.
