Duh...you know I don't mind Deb

at least a ten hour round trip. maybe a bit more....but fgfan was kind enough to get in touch with me to take care of wagering. i'll watch col klink on the tube.

i know kev, i appreciate it! tony and i have talked more than once about moving south fifteen or so minutes, then i'd be over the state line and in louisiana.
maybe in a year after eric graduates.

Best wishes for a safe victorious trip for the Klinkster!

I haven't tried photobucket before so hopefully this works....

Thanks Nicole, the escape picture is so hilarious......

Thank you for letting me tag along. :)

I still can't believe that little old man was able to stop him!

well, ya know, they've never had an escape from the stalag!!

So the more I watch this replay (which Payson Dave was very kind to host on his blog) and look at the pictures, the more excited I am about his future. He is definitely the runner I pictured when I went nuts over him at the sale back in '07. He has a massive stride but still has enough early speed to make the lead in his debut (despite blowing the turn a bit, don't think he knew what he was supposed to do there). He isn't the brightest horse I don't think from the time I've spent with him so it may take a bit of racing experience to learn what he needs to do but when he gets it he'll be a force in both open ranks and especially Illinois-bred ranks (which was what attracted me to his page in the first place.)

Wow Phil, don't be so hard on yourself.
