The Red Mile
Quote from Lonnie on September 1, 2026, 9:10 AMQuote from Bgtolex25 on September 1, 2026, 7:38 AMQuote from Lonnie on August 31, 2026, 12:03 PMI was hoping/expecting you to be in one of those races.
Yeah, I deserve to be called out. Evenings at The Red Mile are the best. It was a beautiful night, and I really had no need to leave early other than I was hungry and 99% of the time won’t eat out…
Let me share an interesting interaction that I had on the way out. I stopped on the apron to take some pictures with my I-pad. A patron sitting in his scooter was parked right next to the track. He watched me for a few minutes and then asked if my “scanner” was communicating with the horses’ microchips, controlling them to speed up or slow down on my command. He said that he has a similar device that affects racing greyhounds. Anyway, I showed him the pictures that I had just taken and managed to turn the conversation toward a more positive recounting of my appreciation of Standardbreds.
We ended up having a good 15 minute interaction. Makes one wonder what else we can learn from talking with the attendees. This gentleman stated that he attends every Sunday night and Wednesday afternoon throughout the meet. He does a $2 box on the numbers 2,3, and 5 every race at the beginning of the card and just sits back and watches. He hit on races 8 and 13 that night and claims to roughly break even overall. His entertainment.
Wun them over one person at a time. Well done!

Horse set back 3 rd to 4th. Presiding Judge Casey Larson and team ruled pylon violation. Showed replay with Mr. Larson coming on to audio to explain the placing with video evidence. Proud of those guys, because I have witnessed their attention to detail and credibility.

Quote from Purple Aura on September 30, 2026, 8:39 AMFound my Ohio bred trotting filly in the Lexington sale. 728 Volstead/Walner Payton. Her first foal. Haven't paid much attention to the sale. Browsed last night. Nice filly, underrated sire, nice video.

Quote from pcmark15 on October 1, 2026, 11:08 AMIn this mornings video Anthony gave a list of sires of horses he was interested in, at the end he said he had his eye on a trotting filly but no other information. I'm wondering if it's the Calgary Games filly Pioneer Woman, hip#790.

edit: Until I exchanged emails with Anthony I didn't realize he was referring to an Ohio bred when he mentioned the filly.

Next week, I am at the sale every day and at the track Thursday-Saturday. Ed and Al, give me a shout to confirm your presence.

Quote from MaywoodAl on October 1, 2026, 7:17 PMI guess I can't read a calendar. I am heading to Florida tomorrow after work. Hopefully at The Red Mile, Saturday Oct 3rd. I better check that my plane reservation to come home is the correct day!
