The post American Pharoah Haskell hoopla week in thoroughbred racing’s like Boxing Day with no sales.

Phil’s waiting for the day when one of Square Eddie’s progeny wins the Haskell.

Phil agrees with Jicha. American Pharoah may be the attraction in the Haskell on Sunday with the newbie fans jamming Monmouth Park on the Jersey shore.

Phil butchered Shelley the other day, but for now Dickens and Keats are safe.

To badly mutilate Shelley:

Del Mar’s recently installed El Segundo sand got its first major test on Saturday as the skies opened up when a non-typical tropical deluge hit the San Diego area.

Del Mar opens the first of the summer boutique thoroughbred meets Thursday, July 16, 2015 where as they say: The Turf meets the Surf.

The old proverb is make hay while the sun shines and for sports reporters it’s make puns while the oven’s hot.

Holy Bull
