Come hang with me up here in Toronto, i live 10 minutes away from Woodbine racetrack, where i worked as an assistant trainer for Stronach Stables up until a few years ago, i get great deals on Awesome Again offspring/stud fees, because of something i did with him way back, before he won the Queens Plate and Breeders Cup, although i might need to double check on that, he’s been down in Florida for a while now, but yeah, there is a strong Toronto/Florida connection here if the weather is too cold for you, you can usually make it to Florida in a couple hours for around $100 just about anyday
-half price on Awesome Again stud fees
-discount travel rates to Florida
Wow, what a deal
The land however is very expensive, but if you move out about an hour+ away from the city you’ll find something for $100k, there is nothing near me that’s under $250k
Canada is pretty cool, it’s like America without the stupid laws, you can smoke weed anywhere, play poker in comfort, it’s the biggest country in the world, can’t go wrong
I’ll be launching my own racing stable eventually, been saying that for a few years, but i will get around to it, need more cash, having horses is like trying to support multiple wives
So yeah, this is good for you, big on horses here, the guy who owns the majority of race tracks in North America, Stronach, lives here, he is head man of all horse racing in North America, his son is my age, you can hang with us, get a line of credit from the track, yipee
you can get an account at the track and bet and watch every race from around the world live like i do from your home, all north america thoroughbred, standardbred, Australia, Hong Kong, Dubai, France, i even get the racing form for half price, $2.50
We got the annual NTRA Qualifier tourny here in August
Fun Stuff, Horseman’s Paradise
As for the Belmont
#8 horse wins the derby
#8 horse wins the preaky
who’s #8 in the belmont
but aside from that master logic, usually i look at a horse coming out of the Peter Pan as a big upset potential, not neccessarily the winner of that race, but a horse that prepped in it
Sunriver looked good winning the Peter Pan, but a horse like Strong Contender, who was invisible in that race, could drop a huge bomb on the Belmont at odds of 50-1, if he runs in the race
We’ll see, it’s still too early to pick
I was in New York with cash on Bet Twice to win this race, back in the day, he was a 5-1 winner if i remember correctly, 20 years ago
