haha the guy didnt say anything to us til after we had been there 10 minutes! It wasnt a big deal, if Chuck or Steve or anyone was there the gaurd would not have said anything, but since Joey and I were the ONLY ones around, its all good.

You gotta love NYRA :rolleyes: that stuff never happen before "our" new governor used NYRA as a "whipping boy" to get elected!
Now, "the chickens have come home to roost" with Gov. "Snidely Whiplash". :eek:

haha that is what I was going to say... been at the spa for 10 years and this is the first time i've ever been asked for a pass...


the sad thing is that I did have a pass to show the past 9 years!

It use to be a lot easier to get around the track.....but that won't stop the DTers! :D

Just lay your hand flat with the palm up like you have something and she'll be fooled. Security sucks there. I can walk to Todd Pletcher's barn anytime between 11 and 8 but god forbid I try and get over to the Annex.

Stopped by to see SWLY yesterday. My whole family got to meet her and had a really nice time. Apparently, we did not bring enough peppermints (I thought 8 was enough), but she was very friendly other than the begging part. Her next door neighbor (Top Royelle) was quite rambunctious, but Sumwon was a very well behaved girl. I have heard that she is in great shape and spirits.

According to Chuck, the chances of the 7f Starter Allowance race on August 26th being drawn in are quite good. I wasn't so sure about a substitute race being used as the originally scheduled races have all been filling at Saratoga, but he said that a lot of trainers pull out a bit early or try to race their horses the week up to Travers Day, so the races after Travers Day fill out a little bit lighter. According to Steve, Sumwon is "out of control" and ready to race.

Thanks to Chuck and Steve once again.
