Folks, we're off for the weekend to take in the Breeder's Cup along with, of course, some college and pro football in the city that Harry Reid destroyed.

As you know us as the patriotic souls we are, we will be doing our darndest to implement a stimulus plan of our own to resuscitate this beleaguered city. With respect to our gaming prowess, we're all too often givers, unfortunately, but that's just the type of people we are.

Please tune in over the weekend as we will hopefully have some completely relevant heat'n'serve scheduled posts as well as some outside help.




Go Zenyatta, Go!!!

We'll be in Vegas for the weekend enjoying our annual mid-fall Breeder's Cup/Football weekend. And since we won't be back until Monday (staying over Sunday night while everyone and their bloodshot eyes are leaving Sunday morning/afternoon like rats leaving a sinking ship is kind of money), we have no earthly clue what is going to be thrown up on this site in the meantime.

At any rate, wish us luck with the ponies and the pigskinners.

Not a bad weekend

Garret Gomez won us some money on Friday aboard 18-1 shot Smudgeledo. He then jumped on a red-eye back to the Spa at Saratoga where he won the Grade I Travers Stakes aboard Colonel John, yesterday. After that, he jumped right back on a plane at 5 this morning to get back out here to Del Mar where he came from behind on Whatsthescript to win the $400,000 Grade I Del Mar Mile and in the following race, the signature race of the Del Mar meeting, he came from behind again on Go Between to win the $1 million dollar Pacific Classic.

Gomez will have a tough decision to make between riding Colonel John or Go Between later in October at the Breeder's Cup Classic.
