I feel like I am walking on fresh turf with the new format here. Looks good by the way.

Woodbine Mile this Sunday and it didn't really come up as a great betting race, but the rest of the card is solid. I will be tuning in to see if Wise Dan can keep his streak going.

For those who are interested, here is a rundown of the field for Sunday's $1M race http://www.woodbinemile.com

I'll be pulling for Wise Dan. Sure would be nice if I could just go to another thread and look at your beautiful pictures of him at
Saratoga again, but...

This should be easy money. Only facing (6) and not too many with speed.
He looks the picture.

Look at that nice sleek neck .
Helps to keep them sounder while racing IMO compared to those
who get that thicker stallion neck with extra weight in front .
Great photo!

I know it reads schmaltzy - but I shall proceed anyway. There are a few horses that make me tear up when I see them - just out of pure emotionalism. This boy is one of them. There is no tool to measure how much I love this horse.

Safe journey Sunday, Red Dan.

Haven't looked at the Mile, although I will probably just sit back and cheer Dan home. Maybe Za Approval will give him some kind of fight.
I did take a look at the Summer Stakes tomorrow and that one seems completely wide open. My top pick is probably 5 Dig Alitle Deeper. He's good value switching surfaces imo.

This was always one of my favorite photos of Dan. Looks like he is smiling down the lane.

I'm going too, as it is one of my favorite races. I couldn't believe last year
there were only (3) people checking out Wise Dan in the walking ring.
People don't know what their missing

I am going to see Wise Dan, but there are also some good races on the card. I am excited to see His Race to Win in the Ontario Derby and Irish Mission in the Northern Dancer S.

Please take photos! I wish I could make it, but alas I have tickets to a hockey game.
If it wasn't my hubby's favourite team's first game this season, I'd would ditch him for the ponies...

Something tells me I'd get disowned if I left him stranded in London.
