Going to California/$1,000,000 Race

[Claytons Crew]

So, my Dad has a horse in the $1,000,000 race out in California at Santa Anita. The horse is Gottcha Gold and might be one of the favorites to win the race. They usually show this race on TV because it's going to be a big day for horse racing in Florida and California it's called the Sunshine Millions. It should be on TV on Saturday on ABC, NBC, or ESPN. My Mom and Dad are already out there with the horse and then my Sister and I fly out around 12 on Friday. The only bad thing is, we got a bad post position draw and were startin on the outside in the 12 hole.

I know someone on here lives in California...who is it?

Forgot to add we also have the 8 Electrify. He's going to be a long shot and I don't even know why he entered him. But, you never know he might get lucky and win. Two chances are better then 1 for this race because it's so wide open.

Yeah I'm out here in Cali... whatcha need, Clayton? You're a good 5 hours away from me I think, Santa Anita is like a part of/ north of LA.

Best of luck to you Clayton. I've seen races at the Santa Anita on TV before. Seems like a great place and a big one at that. Bad draw but hopefully you can overcome.

Thanks, Maize.

We also brought some more horses that will be in a $300,000 and a $500,000 race. In total we've got 4 horses. Odds should be up tomorrow and I'll post them. It's supposed to be on one of the ESPN's but I'm not sure yet.

Also, the races might not even run because they canceled racing today due to extreme rain and hail. The track couldn't handle all the ran and they can't run in hail. Hopefully the weather will clear by Saturday.

Your race just had bad timing lol. Up here in northern Cali this is the first time it's hailed since I moved here, 3 and a half years ago.
