It's been more than a year down here

I'm hoping the husband stays at fg all meet, but the more CDI screws up, the more likely he'll have to head up to Oaklawn when it opens. With them raising purses again, the backside in New Orleans may be a ghost town come January.

But hey, living together 2 months out of the year has to help with the staying married part

Pletcher is once again completely loaded with 2 yr olds.

I can't believe they are bringing this to tiny Keeneland next year. Gonna be crazy.

Yeah. It was overly crowded with 18,000 people the one pretty day I was there. I think a lot of the temporary seating they are putting in won't even have a view of the track.

I drive past there 2 times a day. Will avoid it like the plague for Breeders Cup. I'm told they are going to completely bowl it in with temporary seating in hopes of squeezing in 50K.

I'm planning on going, but only with good seats. They are putting some bleachers by the sales pavilion

SEC did us a big favor by scheduling a home game against Tennessee at Commonwealth that Saturday. Damn, why not have the Stones at Rupp that night, the Ryder Cup at Kearney Hills, and throw in a Papal visit at Memorial Coliseum.

Can't decide whether to dive in or flee.

It will be a mess. At least my friend and I already have a room. Otherwise I'd be driving in from Corbin

I had a wonderful time at Keenland last week. Lexington and the surrounding area is beautiful. Loved every minute of it.

It was fun . Too bad the weather sucked.

Apparently we've got 3 running at bc this weekend. All kinda longshots, but hoping some run good.

This right here, is an A+ post. I will be there. FWIW, I'm sure Keeneland will do a really good job of getting some temp seating in. The Breeder's Cup wouldn't have given it to them without some sort of plan. Aspy, you were at Keeneland last week and didn't tell me? Geez. I'm starting to look at the races now, but I won't have picks for a couple of days.

I'm sorry

I forgot. I actually said something about it on Saturday. I'm an a-hole. Will be back up in the spring. Consider yourself warned!

I knew it I knew it I knew it.

I am glad I did not put a future on AP.

I still like Tonalist for the Classic though.

Will still probably bet, but I'll be happy for any horse winning the classic if not Moreno.

Everyone seems to really like cigar street on the track, so may be worth a bet. I'm hoping for a complete pace meltdown and will be including VE Day in my try to make $ exacta

I'd say this one is definitely setting up for that. there's going to be some nice payouts on exotics.

BTW saw some of your earlier posts...Sure would be nice for someone local to Purchase the FGs and actually sink some money in it. CDI has ran it into the ground.

I know

It sucks.

At least we'll have the infield screen and bugler back.
