My lucky day

jpheff3:

As you know I have spent the last month at the races at Saratoga Racecourse and spent much time over the past several months going on and on about the super filly, Rachel Alexandra.  I flew to Chicago today and sitting next to me on the plane was the one and only Steve Asmussen, trainer of Rachel and the leader trainer in the country by a lot. Needless to say I had a few questions for him.  He was very nice and very open.  He loves Rachel’s chances on Saturday with his biggest concern being the likelihood of a very fast early pace in the race.  I will comment more on that closer to race day.  He has 350 horses in training at 7 racetracks.  He buys and sells at all levels of auctions, in the claiming ranks and private sales.  Only thing better would have been Obama sitting next to me.

that guy must not have known what hit him.
