FRIDAY MAY 2 ND
Antelope vs. Grants Farm
1st game was not too exciting, but Leigh played very well for the first run. The Antelope team controlled the game. Grants Farm was very disciplined, but they could not convert on big opportunities which always left them behind. Trotz helped keep Antelope/Film Finance in the lead throughout the 6 chukkers. I do not think they ever trailed or were even close. As Antelope/Film Fiance closed the door for the win.
Game 2 saw Cotterell/Long Beach taking on Wildcats
It was a long day for Cotterell/Long Beach and it was warm too … like 80 +. It never got cooler as the Wildcats just kept on coming. It was nice to end as they were out-gunned from 1 to 42 minutes so Wildcats go to 1 and 0.
SUNDAY IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE LAST QUARTER LIKE THE KENTUCKY DERBY. WHY?
Game 1 Antelope/Film Fiance vs Wildcats
Antelope/Film Finance seemed in control never big, but not behind in a very good game to watch. Antelope/Film Finance could never open it up despite weak play by Wildcats. They never finished plays, but were always in the game. At the start of the 6th with Antelope/Film Finance up by 2, in came California Chrome (or in this case Jason Crowder) already with 8 goals, but down by 2. He mimicked the California Chrome Kentucky Derby energy and just drilled Antelope/Film Fiannce with 4 goals and a big goal by Ryan to close the door and win by a couple. Wildcats go to 2 and 0.
2nd game
Grants Farm Vs. Long Beach/ Cotterell
Looked for 5 chukkers. T boys in green (Grants Farm) were in total control and the same style, just like the KY Derby, it ain’t over yet. It was not going into the 6th. Grants Farm was in control, but there is 1 to go and here comes Dan Walker, who has never said we are out of the game. They made some huge plays. Jenny and Dan opened the door and bam it was tied. On to OT where everyone had a shot to close the deal, but it would not happen. Jenny had two immaculate runs go wide. AB and JK had a shane. Henry took a shot, but in the end a whistle ended it as a #4 was called and it was all over. and Film Fiance /Long beach go to to 1 -1.
@ the moment as of today 5/3/14 it looks like this
Grants farm 0 and 2
Film FF/A 1 and 1
Cot/LB 1 and 1
Wildcats 2 and 0
Friday’s games 3/8/14
GF vs Wild CATS
FF/A vs LB/COTERELL
I hope you all got to see the Kentucky derby the trainer used to train for Bud Dardi for many years and there is no doubt a 10 grand colt was the best by just a whole big bunch I think this horse will win the triple Crown a feAt not done since 1978 take my word it is going to happen for 10 grand not really he had to be around for 3 years but he already paid that bill . GO CA CHROME
