I swear I am posing this question without bias or any real knowledge of the product - is steeplechase racing as dangerous / bad for animal welfare as it looks?

Guys the turf is forward. Someone go.

The post time P6 surface change! NYRA is so back.

That dude in the Saratoga camera shot is really putting in work.

This week on You've Gotta Be Sha Tin-ing Me, Josh Rodriguez and Matt Carlson talk the late pick 3 at HKJC Racing Sha Tin and have a beer bet on Race 5. #hkracing youtu.be/C25ss7BBNm0

If only there was a place that invested in their drainage system and never came off turf, withstanding multiple inches of rain while consecutively running full fields. What a magical place that would be. Brunch cards start this week. First post 4am EST. See you there. #HKracing

If I had to bet this place: Fierceness bounces like he always does, Just A Touch needs lasix, White Abarrio no shows and Raging Torrent wins on a NYRA-typical drying track by default.

Shoutout Nick Seevers pointing out Patch Adams was getting back to the right distance there.

Baeza has every chance to win this, but this price is the wise-guyest shit I've seen in a long time.

Fresh horse vs one fully expended in the Preakness.

Sha Tin 6/8 Love when Sha Tin switches to "evening" cards. Mostly because I get to trade my late night insomnia for early morning insomnia. Big plays will be through The Golden Knight R5 (with a beer on the line) and Another Zonda R10. Best of luck all. #HKracing

I like to think I'm well above playing names on horses, but a Corruption/Deterministic exacta in the last here would be pretty flipping funny...

Happy Valley 6/11 Either my data is starting to overvalue the weight break on Ellis Wong or he's going to have the best day of his career. Guess we'll find out! Best of luck all. #HKracing

Hope y'all smashed that early p3. Three A's, 1x2x1, delivered to your door for free as always. See you at Sha Tin for breakfast club. #HKracing

Great to see 𝙴𝚖𝚖𝚊-𝙹𝚊𝚢𝚗𝚎 𝚆𝚒𝚕𝚜𝚘𝚗 back in the entries tomorrow after a long recovery.

Four horses have now died from five days of running at Saratoga. What is being done to ensure connections don't have to go through similar the rest of the summer?

Sha Tin 6/14 Back for another breakfast card, like Saturday morning cartoons. Ended on a lot of low weights, let's hope that carries with the rails out. Best of luck all. #HKracing

Credit where credit is due, this looks awesome and is going on the bucket list. Canterbury Park

Dunkin' Diana? I barely know 'er!

No Happy Valley tomorrow, and my Ascot picks feel a lot like trying to drunkenly handicap a roulette wheel. Back to it Sunday.
