CATHERINE623 writes, "She'll probably go to Florida with the other Phipps horses. If you recall, last year Saarland was there and they were trying to get him in an allowance but the races just wouldn't fill. That's why he had such a late start in the Gotham. But I think for now they still may be at Belmont since Saar just ran at Aqueduct." http://forums.about.com/ab-horseracing/messages/?lgnf=y&msg=6082.5 Victor Carrero - the anti-Antley SHELLY440 writes, "How horrendous. I wouldn't bet on this guy if he were the only jockey in a one horse race. I used to think he was an OK jock but not anymore. It is positively inexcusable to treat a horse this way." SHAYLEM replies, "Holy cow! I can't even imagine what would make someone behave that way! Forget about worrying about professionalism -- what about a little old-fashioned humanity and compassion?" http://forums.about.com/ab-horseracing/messages/?lgnf=y&msg=6081.1 -- SCHEDULES -- Television Schedule What's on TV this week. http://horseracing.about.com/library/bltvsched.htm Stakes Race Schedule Listing of stakes races with purses of $75,000 and up for the next week. http://horseracing.about.com/library/blstakessched.htm -- Racing Polls -- FINAL NTRA Thoroughbred Racing Poll 10/28/02 HORSE A-S STS-1-2-3 PTS PVS 1.
