Lost my father this morning, but somehow Announcer Pete’s “rrrrrrracing at Gulfstream” still put a smile on my face. 🏇🏇🏇

Have decided to post my own odds line on whichever Mnr races I deem appropriate. Not a value-line. I don't do that. But instead, my best estimate of closing odds. These odds will be posted on the website (very near completion) from which I intend to livestream very soon. The website will also include track bias notes, a bit of written analysis, and a special section for me to vent. Sections on the site will be: Home Odds Track Bias The Torture Chamber Cinches & Grinches Brief bio In addition to this text content (and live commentary on Mnr races), I do intend to post some recordings. All of my content, both written and verbal, will cover only the two tracks with which I'm familiar and fire live rounds on: Mountaineer and Mahoning. * No illusions that the world of racing in any way needs me. But I very much need racing.

Made field trip to Mahoning yesterday to cash old ticket. Crowd so sparse and atmosphere so depressing that I left after just one race. There is just no "there" there. The trackside experience now exists only in my mind. I want to remember it as it was.

@MattJStretch Love that course. Is it open to the public now? Didn’t used to be (30 yrs ago).

Can’t beat a dive bar anytime but especially when you’re retired at noon o’clock on a Thursday. Rainbow Tavern in downtown Maupin, Ore. #GoCougs

@goofonroof @CarlosGArango I watched the race live. I’m still in shock. I don’t buy the excuse. He has to sat down. That was an awful look for horse racing.

@CarlosGArango A GREAT video. It shows the difference between a maximum effort and less than maximum effort. Date of the race and circumstances are meaningless. It demonstrates she CAN be urged aggressively with an animated hand ride. There seemed to be no negative response to those tactics.

Buen vídeo con respecto a la polémica de ayer en parx. “Al caballo no le pueden pegar y tampoco le gusta que lo apuren”. Sea usted el juez entre estas dos montas, ambas sin uso de la fusta pero con diferentes recursos. 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

Turf Paradise has to be the most significant improvement of any track I have ever seen. The first year under new management and ownership has brought about major enhancements to the facility. I had a great day and will be returning very soon.

@JonLindo60 I don't think this is a racing office or Tampa management issue. It appears to be state licensing . And I agree I've always been told @TampaBayDownsFL does amazing work. They're a little lacking in announcer choice. But other than that...

100% unacceptable. Trainers are held accountable. Owners are held accountable. Who holds the racing officials accountable? Take your case to track management at Tampa - some good people there.
Darin Zoccali@atTheTrack7

I try to stay optimistic in racing, both as an industry employee and horse owner, but the last 12 months are making it increasingly difficult. Today, our filly Unfaithful Rose was ordered scratched by the state stewards in Florida from a stake race at Tampa. Why? Because despite our trainer (who ran a horse in the Kentucky Derby last year) submitting all his paperwork for Florida licensing in the timeframe requested and despite them having all the documentation since Thursday, an employee in the racing state agency’s licensing office never put through the verification on his finger prints and thus because of their incompetence, the stewards scratched our filly. Meanwhile, Ethan West is the epitome of what you want in a horse trainer. A decade of training, not a single positive test, an honest and true horsemen. Our ownership group, deeply committed to aftercare, has routinely given away horses to families rather than drop them in for a cheap tag, is comprised of “little guys” trying to do the best we can for our horses. We shipped this filly from Kentucky to Florida and she was 3-1 on the morning line with a real chance in the race. Not to mention we have about 10 owners who traveled down to Florida for the race. I am absolutely flabbergasted and beyond discouraged by all of this. They should be ashamed of themselves for punishing us for their own incompetence. In an economic climate where small stables and owners are struggling to survive, this is how we are treated? Absolutely shameful. @TampaBayDownsFL @florida_horse @thoroughcrowd

@cougsgo He’ll be fine, along with the rest of the middle of the lineup. Shocking we were able to split the series given their output, or lack thereof.

Any concerns about Josh Naylor? Still looking for his first hit in 2026. Went 0-for-15 in spring training, 0-for-15 against the Guardians. My concern level on a 1 to 10 scale? About a 3, maybe a 4. #GoCougs

As a Florida native, the big days always make me reflect. So grateful to be where I am today....hard to believe today will be my 10th Florida Derby. Weather is great! Races are great. Calls need to be great too (no guarantees but I'm gonna sling it)! Let's have a great day!!

@BeemieAwards Beemer, call in sick and get a head start on your road trip, as your current plans will miss the EMD season. Your NW peeps would love to see you on the 5th floor making cash hand over fist. 💰

@Anabellashaw1 @goofonroof My buddy said it will pay that, but it doesn’t necessarily mean a winning ticket exists to those specific horses. I said wrong, a ticket exists…that’s why they call it Will Pays.

@goofonroof Goof, settle an argument between myself and a buddy. At TUP today, looking at the P6 Will Pays after Race 7, four horses had Will Pays of $128,191.20. I believe that means at least one ticket is alive to each of those 4 horses. Buddy says not necessarily true.

@TinaStauffer1 and I lost the Queen today. I know many of you have loved her from afar for many years. She was named after ZENYATTA. Such a good girl. RIP
