I like it JB and the meet and greet is a great idea. Maybe a little more time to prepare . . . so along that line let's all talk about this happening sometime this year in a place that's not too hot, rain chances are slim and that has other evirons or attraction around it that add to the visit.
Hmmmmm,
Del Mar
Churchill (horse farm visits

)
Keeneland (horse farm visits

)
Saratoga
Oaklawn
Gulfstream (rain?/heat?
Fairgrounds (rain?/heat?)
Come to mind, any others tracks to consider and how many of us are up to trying to make this happen. I'll start a new thread for this if there's any interest at all.
Thanks JB for the inspiration.
