Australian trainer Gai Waterhouse on Pink Stiletto Day (Pink Stiletto)

It only occurred to me about 30ish minutes ago that some fun could be had in honor of Gay Pride (today) with hunch bets. Over at the horseplayers teen party chat line (twitter) John of Not to the Swift noted that he was going to play any horses with “rainbow” in the name, which promptly lead to me to start looking for gay-ish names.

Make a cocktail, put on some disco, dust off your tiara and oh HONEY, get ready to do some online horse betting!

Like many a good gay I’m late for brunch and some of these races have already run, the but names are still funny.

Belmont:
5th: Magic Queen, Strategic Missile (winner!)
6th: Diva in Training

Calder:
5th: Stylish Act
6th: Lady Charlie, Super Girlie
10th: Sade Dream

Churchill:
6th: Gossiper, Spend and Spree

Hollywood Park:
3rd: Ms. G.I. Jane
6th: Sky’squickscore
7th: Unzip Me
8th: The Whammer
9th: Good Vibration

Monmouth Park:
2nd: Beautiful Rainbows
3rd: Street Talk’n Man
4th: Hello Handsome, Another Love
7th: Quick Ride (winner!)
8th: Lots of Tricks, Self Made Man
9th: Lady Alexander

Best of luck, and no matter how it turns out, you look FABULOUS!

Churchill Downs (blake seely)

ESPN2 has the oaks under card! I had no idea, mind you, I can only wager on the Oaks online.

The weather is hideous at Churchill! I missed the Louisville Stakes, but they replayed the stretch run which featured winner Ginger Punch hopping over a puddle… impressive!

I didn’t handicap the Oaks (or much of anything yet), but I’ll be placing a little sloppy track exacta of Bsharpsonata & Little Belle.

Patrick had the pleasure of watching the Battaglia as it happened but the replay is up now up KentuckyDerby.com so get thyself over there to watch it!

That was a seriously impressive move. It’s not YouTube yet, but her performance in the Caressingh at Churchill as a 2yo on the turf was startlingly similar (official race replay from Churchill, no embedding).

On another note, yesterday was a day for longshots. Besides Absolute Cindy ($41.60) there was Malibu Moonshine ($31.40) in the Stymie, Ever a Friend ($20.60) in the Kilroe Mile and Heatseeker ($16) in the Big Cap. While my hunch bet of Great Hunter didn’t work out, I did manage to cash my first ticket of the year with Malibu Moonshine!

I just happen to turn on the OTB channel about 15 minutes before the Stymie. I was eating lunch and watch the parade and the both Malibu Moonshine and Temporary Saint looked great in the paddock and parade (wish I had boxed them!). I like to practice my visual handicapping when I’m not able to handicap proper and this just happen to be one of those times when I synched-up doing well with actually placing a bet. Needless to say, I was jumping up down like a crazy person in front of my TV.

On another note, I love the way Evening Attire looks when he runs. He looks a bit like a cartoon character with neck stuck so far out and kind of low. It’s very endearing.

No time for handicapping this weekend, but I’m gonna throw a little money on Great Hunter in the Big Cap. He’s been steadily improving each time out and I thought he did relatively well in the Sham.

Best of luck to all!
