I guess not many, if any of you went.....too bad. It really was fantastic. Whether exhibiting or just a fan, getting to meet so many of the sports stars as well as just the everyday people that keep the sport going, was really special.

Two highlights for me.

Dale Romans gave a 40 minute talk I wish it would have gone for three days and was worth the trip right there. Where everyone else stood, he sat in a chair when it was his turn sipping bourbon at 10am. That guy was funny as sh*t but his storoes were gold, especially how he got some of the great horses he did.

The second was the early morning I was leaving. Staying at the Galt (old but historic) on the Ohio River, I went down to get some coffee. I paid and went to the small table and poured my coffee waiting for this guy to finish putting his suger and cream in his coffee. At the same moment I was thinking he was taking forever I realized it was Mike Smith. "Hey Mike" followed a good five minite conversation I'll frame im my mind forever.
