As you may have heard by now, the one and only Partymanners' YouTube account is no more. Apperently the guy that Partymanners got some of his videos from complained to YouTube about copyright infringement, which is something YouTube has to be tough on (although they don't always catch you right away). It's a shame that this person had to shut down Partymanners' account, I don't know what his plans are about putting his videos up. However, on TBC (Thoroughbred Champions) someone has offered Partymanners a website to put the videos up. I'll be keeping an eye on that thread and update here as soon as I hear more.
I do have an update as well, if you remember in my last post I talked about punches being thrown at Philadelphia Park. Well the instigator in the punches Eriluis Vaz has appologized for throwning the first punch. Since the person whose video I orginally posted delated it (they did put up a new one, but with music which was stupid, there was no reason to do that), here is another one from TVG. You can just mute the music as it's a bit crappy (sorry for the language).
Semi weekend stakes review, Sam P. who should be retired finished last in an off the turf stakes race at Gulfstream. His former owners Starlight Stables (who also owned Ashado), are in a court battle to try to get an injunction back in place which will retire him. Also Crisp, who broke her maiden after going really wide came back to win the prep for the Las Virginias. She could be one to keep an eye on to challenge Blind Luck in Cali this year, I don't know about her Oaks plans as she is by El Corrador and his foals tend to do better on synth. However, his half brother Roman Ruler's foals are the opposite as they tend to do better on dirt.
Keenland's January for All Ages Auction started today as well, please look at Pedigree Stock and Hard Spun Foals for more info on that sale this week.

Punches at the PHA
Philadelphia is known as a tough, but proud city. If you go to an Eagles game with an oposing teams jersey, prepared to be booed. Remember, this is the city that threw snowballs at Santa. However, what was unexpected is what happend at Philadelphia Park in Bensalem, PA today. The following video isn't that great of a quality, but if you look closely there is something shockingly happening.
That ladies and gentlemen is punches being thrown, the two jockeys are Eriluis Vaz aboard Divine Light and Ademar Santos aboard Mi Helena. I've seen some wierd things in horse racing (at DP once a horse actually grabbed another jockey's crop (whip) out of his hand, I forget who the horses where involved and where they finished), but this is new. Have punches been thrown before at race tracks, more then likley yes. During a race thorough? This is all new to me.
Now it will be up to the PHA stewards to figureout the punishment for both of these jocks, but I hope the both of them spend sometime on the sidelines for careless riding. There where horses in the back of them, and what if one of them fell off during this punching exchange? They could have been seriously injured, and the outcome would be quite different. If you are wondering, Divine Light finished fifth, and Mi Helena ninth, however Devine Light was DQ'ed to ninth. My guess is Vaz threw the first punch (By the way I counted three, but there may have been four punches), which is why he was DQ'ed to ninth. Of course I hope both horses are okay, and next time they get different riders.
I'm sure this will be in the Inquirer tomorrow, and it will interesting how this story will play out.
I had planned to preview this weekend's stakes, but this fight was a bit more interesting. So stakes previews will be returning next Friday. However I leave this post with one more complaint. Robert La Penta who owns Da' Tara, Cool Coal Man among others, is sponcering the Derby Trial which is held the week before the Derby at Chuchill Downs. I'm okay with him sponcering it, as the La Penta Derby Trail sounds somewhat cool. But that's not the name of the race, Da' Tara? Nope Cool Coal Man? Nope. Then who is it? The Cliff's Edge. Really? That's the best you can do? The Cliff's Edge?
So you mean the horse who got his keister kicked by Smarty Jones, and then later that same year by Funny Cide? He lost to TWO Derby winners, two of them Mr. La Penta. Yes I know he won at Churchill, but seriously advertising much? Ugh it doesn't help that I think The Cliff's Edge is one of the most overrated horses his year. I rather seen Cool Coal Man or Da' Tara get it, blech.
