About Me
- Brian Zipse
- I've been going to the races and following the horses since before I can honestly remember. For example, my best recollection of being in the stands for Secretariat's amazing run in the Belmont was not the race, but the stands shaking so much beneath my feet. Quite an experience for a little guy who just turned 4! Two of my favorite fellow handicappers are my brother and my father. My one year old daughter is already showing signs of loving the horses :>) My favorites...how about Wajima, Spectacular Bid, Fancy Naskra, Five Star Flight, Christmas Past, Princess Rooney, Lady's Secret, With Approval, Paradise Creek, Sunday Silence, Unbridled, Skip Away, Free House. Musket Man and Rachel Alexandra, just to name a few.

I'll start with Dixieland Band as he fits the 33% category.
Michael, your guess brings only silence today.
you repeated *My six career stakes wins were at five different distances.
I feel cheated. Ha!
is that another clue?
i need an advil...did you get them to sponsor this yet?
Billy, Check again, I think you are seeing double!
Funny you should mention that Sid...Zip Zap Zo also makes headache powder!
mean! I thought you'd at least replace it!
One more for Mr. Huntington...
aaarggggh!
Limehouse!
We have a winner ... Seaneff!!!
Good job Seaneff!!
Tell us how you did it Seaneff...
The first thing I thought was that if you win your first career 3 starts and 2 stakes wins, you must have won the bashford manor. So I looked up who had won the Bashford Manor and I saw Summer Squall who was owned by Dogwood (lots of owners) and I thought he was it but then I looked and saw he didnt have Mr. P. Then I saw Limehouse and knew it had to be especially since he is by Grand Slam out of a Dixieland Band mare! Once you peel away some of the layers it turned out to be pretty easy haha.
haha, went thru limehouse on pedigreequery there after the right answer was got, and none of the clues were right... so it wasnt the Limehouse foaled in 71 then!
Well done Sean! (a first-time champ) Your reasoning was spot on. Limehouse is today's answer and also is the sire of Derby hopeful Uptowncharlybrown from his first crop.
Nice Seaneff! I was sort of doing similar - cross reference ch. Derby losers with WHAS (or Three Chimneys Juvenile now) winners. Should have moved further ahead in the meet!
At least Marti and I are still tied (right?)
Right-O Billy, but Sean is the reigning champ. C, you were off by more than 30 years! LOL
i like the new timing, 10 pm over here. can totally concentrate on who am i!
well i totally goofed. I read the second clue to mean that the first three wins and first two stakes were at churchill, not just that he won his first three starts period, so I screwed myself from the start. No one I couldn't get anywhere. lol
Well, I joined a little late, but had no real exuse. Nice job Seaneff!
OMG! Brian! I didn't get to this today! Something told me I should! I was reading it and I came across your "This chestnut was never the Downtown kind of guy" and I KNEW!!!!!! HAHAHAHA!!!!! Thanks SO MUCH FOR THIS! I enjoyed it IMMENSELY!!!!! I HAVE to forward to everyone!!!!!
You're the BEST!!!!! You made my day! :-)
Jen, LOL. Uptowncharlybrown was definitely my inspiration for today's game...and, of course, that was my favorite clue.
zipster you could be on to something here.....well lets hope you are....i have this good feeling that ky derby goes thru fla this year....this charly compares favourably with curlin .....12-13 weeks and 80lbs of work related muscle could be the determining factor....derby horses are born not bred....go figure...who said that....2010 make it happen....BABY!!!!!!! as of right now WINSLOW IS ALSO A TOP CONTENDER......
