Philīs Saturday July 17, 2010 offer. If Working For Hops wins the American Derby find Phil at the OTB heīs playing at and heīll treat you to some hops. Offer good for 33 1/3 minutes from time race is declared official.
Phil heard that Pierre´s Esquirol Farms has a daughter of Giacomo in the Alberta Fall Sale thatīs worth digging out the cheque book for.
Donīt leave out Peacock Stableīs McMurphy in the last race of the Pick 4 at Arlington. If he comes in the ticket could be off the Richter Scale.
Hereīs Philīs early (the ones before studying the PPs when you pick names and hot jocks) picks for the late Pick 4 at Arlington:
Race 8
Workin For Hops
Deanīs Kitten
Race 9
Rahystrada
Just As Well
General Quarters may be the favourite, but Marsh Side may still have a good one left.
Race 10
Liberty Bull
Mam Bird
Stormin Wildcat
Race 11
McMurphy
Atticus Kitty
Depending on track conditions and scratches you may have to add or change a couple of horses for tomorrow. Philīs got to match Curtis who gave you the winner and tri in the Belmont.
Curtis and Phil are gamblers. Unlike Northlands handicapping contest handicappers, weīd never give you a Daily Double of All to half of the field. Thatīs wussy harness betting.

Saturday, July 17, 2010 Northlands Park simulcasts Flamboro Downs jiggies.
Saturday, July 17, 2010 Flamboro Downs does not simulcast Northlands Park.
Canīt anyone at HRA or Northlands figure out whatīs wrong with that picture?
Flamboro takes Hastings Park, but not Northlands. Looks like Raj Muttiīs more concerned with producing and selling his product, than with Derby Girl votes.
