@DRF_Beer can I have your email address sir?

@andyserling @ScottMJeffreys A pick up mount in spirit, I guess, but Jaime rode this horse in the Sheepshead Bay - and gave her a perfect trip that day, too

@ScottMJeffreys She was bad but I don’t totally disagree. Jaime gave the winner a great ride

@andyserling Think about Jaime Rodriguez getting a pick-up mount in the $500,000 Grade 2 Flower Bowl. As for La Mehana, we can say that the horse did not fire today, but what exactly was the plan for this horse in a half-million dollar race? Sorry but that a very poor ride.

@DailyRacingForm @DRFGrening .Sad day. I was just a kid but still remember going to the old Siro's seminars at Saratoga just to hear him talk racing. He was so far ahead of everyone else doing that kind of "public handicapping" at the time. Paul was the best. Meant a lot that I got to call him a friend later

"Paul 'The Source' Cornman, noted handicapper, dies at 73" @DRFGrening reports the sad news. drf.com/news/paul-sour…

@Tinky47flat Fair enough. What does the emoji at the top mean?

😂 Call me old fashioned, but if tasked with voting for the Horse of the Year, the very first criteria that I believe should be considered, would be which was the best horse to have raced in the U.S. that year? Not the only criteria, of course, but surely an extremely important one. I'm well aware of the degree to which voters employ subjective criteria before casting their votes, and that a very high percentage choose to emphasize the importance of X number of races in the U.S., and dirt performers over turf performers. But if RR was objectively a better horse than the three top vote getters, which I believe to clearly be the case, the fact that he didn't receive a single vote, reveals something interesting, if not also damning, about the thought processes of the voters.

@Tinky47flat What difference does it make that Rebel's Romance is "better" than those horses?

‡ Rebel's Romance In the wake of the Hardwicke Stakes (Gr. 2), just run at Royal Ascot, it's amusing to look back at the 2024 American Eclipse Awards, and note the top three vote getters for Horse of the Year: Thorpedo Anna – 193 Sierra Leone – 10 Fierceness – 5 I say that because setting aside the long-standing biases against turf horses, and foreign horses that race just once or twice in the U.S., Rebel's Romance, the winner of the Hardwicke, and last year's BC Turf, is so much better than than those three, that any award based on purely objective data would have seen him as the unanimous choice! He has now won 18 of 26 races, including Group/Grade I races in Britain, the U.S. (two BC Turf races), Germany, Dubai, and Hong Kong. A truly outstanding horse!

@mesave31 I'm not a big Ways and Means fan, but she'll probably win that race. I won't be betting.

@DRF_Beer Ooops, I missed listing the 7F Bed O'Roses stakes on FRI R6. Any chance you might be able to list your thoughts on that one. THANK-YOU again for your replies and thoughts! GL/ST for all!!!

@DRF_Beer Hey there Mr. Beer. Do you post your thoughts on this w/e's BEL Stakes races that you didn't list on the DRF YouTube channel (like the Ogden Phipps, Belmont Gold Cup, Pennine Ridge, Wonder Again, & True North stakes) anywhere else? Thank-you for any info you can provide

@mesave31 The Gold Cup had a two-horse race feel to me. Either the in-form German shipper on the rail, or Limited Liability. I couldn't get to the others, though I am a big Grand Sonata fan

@DRF_Beer Thank-you for your reply! ;-> Great, as I'll look for the newly posted ones you listed! If you can list your thoughts or just WPS on the Ogden Phipps & Belmont Gold Cup that would be great & I believe cover all the w/e's stakes races! Thank-you again/much appreciated!!! ;->

@mesave31 The Phipps was a pick one or pick too many race for me. I think Leslie's Rose is fine with the distance & will be a fair price. Good enough for me.

@DRFHersh It's not "evidence", but the case for any/everyone in that field was that Skelly is a massive fraud.

Durante a 6yo making his 37th start and if you can find evidence in the lifetime PPs suggesting he could win the Aristides please send it along.

@sgvoak @DRF_DanIllman I'm biased because I want to bet Content.

@DRF_DanIllman @DRF_Beer. The A team when it comes to the BIG RACES. I always appreciate and listen to both your capping so thank you. This is Frankie D last dance. Whos his best flying dismount chance? Content or Emily upjohn. Thank u both. Win lots of $$

@sgvoak Didnt look at it closely. Sorry

@DRF_Beer Hello Sir. Might i ask your opion on keenland race 5. Thank you very much

@joepadski @DailyRacingForm Sorry, Joe. Not around this week. At Little Brown Jug today. Haven't looked at that race...yet. I'll get back to you if I do...

@DailyRacingForm @DRF_Beer Hey Mike, where can i see your picks for the Pennsylvania Derby, man ! Thanks !

@Horsesndealin Dennis doesn't ever have many horses but he gets the most out of them. He actually has a big positive lifetime ROI from all starters ($2.59).

@DRF_Beer it's a few days late but well done in regards your analysis race 9 last Saturday...i looking at today's 9th, when i research the trainer I'm not seeing the "underrated" based on his stats...can you explain what I'm missing? Appreciate you and the great work.

@Horsesndealin I didn't write the Closer Look.

@DRF_Beer is Bourbon War your best bet...the written analysis suggests you don't think so...especially when i click "Closer Look" and analysis ends with the words "not seeing it"??

@SuzanneCymbaluk Wow. Good for you!

@DRF_Beer Your Closer Look analysis on Weyburn led me to betting him, thank you!

@Kevin__McIntyre I remember, Kevin. Good luck tomorrow. I'm a big fan.

@DRF_Beer Thanks for picking my horse, Max Player. Hope you’re right! We met at Saratoga last summer and had a beer together. I believe you were with your brother. Be well and Go Max Player!!!

Saturday - Jim Dandy, Vanderbilt, Bowling Green bit.ly/2Mh0jq1

@dougnachman Thanks Doug. Good luck this weekend.

@DRF_Beer Just wanted you to know I think you did a great job on the comments on the breeders cup races inthe form. We think very much alike . Hope the work pays off. Knowing the bias at most tracks helps a lot

@jeffa_ Maybe not for the owner.

@DRF_Beer Calling a 3rd in a $2.5M race an “unsuccessful trip” is a tad harsh, no? 😁
