So awesome..... :)

Where are all you people getting these HOPE poster photoshops?

/threadjack

My boy Jesus aboard.....

Klinky is going to know what a whip feels like by the time he hits the wire.

Good Luck All!!!!

Who knows how he is going to react, that might be a sight in itself

What day? Fairgrounds

Dude is strong and has a heavy whip. I always thought he was a good finisher (caveat: That was against Tampa jocks who may have made him look better than he really is).

yeah, I am a fan, he is top 5 down there.....

Sunday

the col is finally running, yay! best of luck!!!

Good luck!!!! :tro:

anyone going down for the race?? man, i am tempted....

Alright, ITS TIME
 

I will be at the Fairgrounds on Sunday. My plane lands at 9:35am. I am working on getting a box for the afternoon so if anyone wants to chill, pm me and we will work something out.

If I weren't already busy this weekend I'd definitely be there.

So yet another fun day at the Fairgrounds.

We'll be sure to get you pics....:)

well, damn.

daughter can't go, son doesn't want to go. i guess i'm staying home. :mad:

i don't suppose someone would be willing to let me send $, and place a bet for me??? somebody, anybody?? paypal?

damn Zig... how far of a drive is it for you from arky? about the only part of the country i have no sense of driving distance. no chance you'd go it alone?

already looking forward to the "Scavs" timeline trip breakdown:D :eek:

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....

Klink's day at the Fair Grounds

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.
