Running in PRX8 today, Midnight Games has been claimed 8 times in 10 races. That's a first for me. Kathlee Demasi, 20% trainer, has had him four times. Obviously, there's something about the old gelding that she and others like.

Mick he's in r9. This is the type of older gelding I mentioned in a previous post. It has started 22 times with 7 wins 6 places and 5 shows. This horse is a very honest animal. Also a good friend of my is involved with that trainer and stable. Don't know if he has part of this one.

Thanks for the correction, Tim. Yes, he pays for his hay and oats, doesn't he?

Hey Mick
Just wanted to let you I backed this guy 2 weeks ago. He was 6/1 with 1 minute to go when I put 20 to win on him and the race went off he he ended up at 5/2!!! I didn't think I would knock him down that much.

Sure does. I pointed this out before but keep an eye for older geldings like this. They battle in every race they run in and most times they are right there at the finish. You find these at all class levels and tracks.

That's 59% W & P, pretty good EX. key.

After seeing this I went to bet it and figure out an EX. Too late as the race was over


He won and paid $13.00 and keyed a $138.80 EX. Oh well onward.

The bad spill made the 9th race hard to watch

The 2 Midnight Games lost momentum. He hung in there and just missed 4th
too bad
I pray everybody is okay

Bless

That's what happens when your rushed. I looked at the program and saw # 2 for Midnight and the result. When you bet mistakes never pay off and when you do bet a mistake they never pays off. That's my experience anyway.


Thanks Bill,

That spill in the ninth at PRX proved fatal for jockey Jose Flores

Tragic. I watched the race. It was a terrible fall. I tell friends who don't follow racing that it's one of the most dangerous of all sports. That's why an ambulance follows those brave young men and women around while they work. I know the track medics were there in an instant but his injuries must have been too severe.
