We asked for it--We got it April 9th
 

Thought this was a nice advertising on youtube.

Hope you enjoy it as much as I did. I'll take RA if she makes it.

Gives me the chills just watching it. I hope the race lives up to the hype.

Whoever made this did a really nice job. :)

In unrelated news, the NFL just announced that the Super Bowl will be played on a Friday afternoon next year.

That's a nice piece to share with people who people who may not know much about thoroughbred racing, but are still sports fans.

I just got goosebumps!

post time is set for 6:45pm EST. If you'll look The Masters is also this weekend and will draw people in to watch it. Maybe next time you can put up the $5 million and Cella will let you decide what day it'll be run on.

I see where the Hot Springs CVB has announced that there will be shuttle buses from three locations (airport, convention center and downtown transfer station) round trip only two bucks. Great for people coming in just for the day.

yeah, but if i put up 5 million i would be smart and demand a saturday afternoon...i'm actually hoping a third horse wins just for sh^ts and giggles...lol

People were going already on Saturday for the Arkansas Derby (their signature event). Now he has a huge attraction to draw people their for Friday as well. I personally think it's a brilliant idea having it on Friday evening.

I was planning on going for Arkansas Derby Day before the big announcement, but I can't get a hotel reservation for the weekend. Do you suppose that folks will cancel their hotel reservations if one of the big two doesn't show up?

Its ok you can always watch Easy Goer and Sunday Silence (two GREAT FAST horses) battle each other. Trust me whatever these two wonderful girls produce it will pail in comparision what happened in 89.. I look forward to the race as well BUT these are two very good horses Sunday Silience and Easy Goer are to special colts!

No one is expecting an SS-EG type showdown.

We'll settle for a Hansel-Strike The Gold type race...

Minus about 3f's or so..

I would settle for a Larry Holmes vs Randall Tex Cobb mismatch.
