The Pat Eddery Gr.I..Part II

“Who owns the mule”..I shouted..”is this some kind of joke?..I ain’t writting about no damn mule!”…”she’s belongs to me” said a soft quite voice from the shadows. “Jerry, you sly fox!..what gives here?..I said to the sim veteran breeder and trainer as he stepped into the light..”glfstrmdoc..it’s a new training technique that sabbath stables is perfecting..it’s psychological..designed to foster confidence and intimidate the other horses”, Tete Marea(IRE) is her name. At 23/1, we’re hoping to ‘slap around’ some of these others and hopefully finish in the top half of the field”. “Jerry..she has the turn’o foot to run with most of these”, I replied…”she has a solid record and best of all she’s lightly raced!…does Viking Racing know about this technique?”..”I am Viking Racing Doc!…I know about the stats..remember..I’m a sim veteran breeder and trainer..it’s her mind I want to exercise”.”ok man..ok”…”Jerry, hows the merger with Ireland going?”.. “together..dochobo…Tete Marea(IRE) and Black Tie Dancer(IRE) will slap them all around..and finish in the top half of the field”…”it’s all good pal..it’s all good”

I went forward to check on the plane’s altitude…and came across tfortiger grooming her 23/1 Ohio Residency entry Kryszostoniak. “Not bad for a $7k claimer.. heh Doc?..she’s run ’em all..starters..allowance..some stakes..itm in her last 13 starts.. her last three tells me that she’s ready for this one”…”any concerns about the track?”..I asked..”nnaahh..she said with a smile.. Cryptoclearance X Gate Dancer ..that should do it..she’s had 6.. 14f races and has a 5-1-0 record for the distance..”any of those races have the likes of Krishna(IRE) or Magical Mia(IRE)”..I asked.. “Doc don’t you go and spoil our dreams!..or her “never off the board” for me record!”..

“I smell coffee..fresh brewed coffee..somewhere”..I said..as I made it to the Vitea(IRE) and catomine stable stall area. “Yeah..up there” said the catomine stable owner..”LdyS. and them Vermont folks “always have a fresh pot brewing”..been smelling it the whole time”..”catomine said..”tell me about your chances” I inquired…”you’ve got a hot young stable and have a solid entry in Vitae(IRE)”..”well Doc”..he replied..”she’s a big closer..just loves to run late!..we lucked into the race when GR’ Simster’s first entry fialed conditioning…so we’re stepping up and in..so to speak..We’re young..a 4yr old by Theatrical(IRE) and Ele-Mana-Mou(IRE)..we only got six races under our belt..but the 4-0-1 record is hard earned and honest…got a real solid rider in P. Harzheim and the 25/1 odd don’t matter much…that soft track will be an equalizer”..

‘Lydssecret, that coffee smells awfully good!…Congrats! on another successful Equinics..there’s a happy hopeful planeload of horses and owners here..care to comment?”…”We made it Doc! 32 races and barely a bump in the road” she said with a hugh smile and aire of accomplishment and pride. “Vermont Forests looks relaxed..fit.. and ready to run”..I queried..”Thanks Doc”..she replied, “but you and I both know she’s in with some tough graded stakes experienced runners…heck..we were the only nominee..somebody has to represent The Green Mountain Residency Of Vermont.” “31/1 isn’t so bad”..I said..”she’s shown solid closing abilities in her last few races..the wet surface may be benificial”…”Have some coffee Doc”..was all she said

The last 4 entries are as follows…Paranormal..at 33/1.representing carlos fun stables and the Fun & Friends Stable Club..an allowance runner facing a hugh task. At 43/1, Blubberry Blub Club from the Alpine Turf Club trained by climb stables.  Hawkz..a first year simster and equimics challenger who states ” she’s an honest runner but may find these a bit tough. but if you don’t run..you don’t know..do you?”. At 82/1..Firmly Elusive, representing Minnestoa Racing and GBA stables. She’s run over off tracks before..but not at this level. chuckrock states that “she is sharp for the event,but is well outclassed here..she’s been running in claimers but was the only residence horse who could make the distance”..”good luck to you to sir”..

Rock Of The West(IRE)..the longshot of the field at 92/1 belongs to bargebabes stables representing EAAA racing. Her owner babydoll tells me that she’s running for the residency. “She’s a nice filly but very out classed here”..it’s obvious that there’s a lot class at that stable.

“Don Fabman!..let’s play some blackjack for sim credits..what say yee son?”…”Don’t push it Doc!”..was the solemn reply.

That’s the View From 30,000 Feet.. winging our way to Italy…by glfstrmdoc..The Doc!
