In the words of the Boss, tonight I\'m headed \"across the river to the Jersey side\" for our annual neighborhood trip to the Meadowlands Cup.
Yeap, that\'s right, most guys throw block parties or BBQ\'s but I get the group together for the only real night of racing at the Meadowlands each year and the gang takes over the Pegasus Restaurant by storm.
There\'s some hyperbole in this of course as I live in Jersey to begin with but I was really trying to get a Springsteen reference in here so I quote the line above.
At any rate, at the risk of Richiebee yelling at me again for bashing NY racing, how come the Medowlands can come up with a better betting race for one 300k Grade 2 than Belmont can offer us with 5 Grade 1s on Fall Stars Weekend.
This isn\'t a bad little race. There\'s alot of ways to go in the race but I think Etched at a 7/2 ML and Kiss the Kid at a 12-1 ML both look interesting. This is Kiss the Kid\'s last race before heading to the breeding shed so I don\'t think they are going to leave anything in the tank and the colt has put up a few negative numbers on sloppy dirt tracks before. At anything near the 12-1 ML, I think this horse is live. Have to use Etched in there somewhere as well given this colt\'s immense talent. Often injured but very talented when he\'s in the gate.
Anyone else gonna make the trip across the river by any chance?
