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.

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.

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.

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?

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.
