California Dreaming. Congrats on the win Alli. Nicely played.

[DonGuido]

Very nice Alli, good job!!!

[Alli]

Wow! Thanks! I knew it was going to be close! Good job, guys.

I think the weather is going to be nasty in the east again this weekend, with the exception of Gulfstream, but I think the best option is to return to Santa Anita for the Cal-bred stakes races. We could work the whole card since a couple of races have small fields.

Let me know what if anyone else has suggestions.

[Alli]

This morning, I see news that there are wildfires in the Arcadia area. I'm not sure what's going to happen with racing. I'm going to dig in a look a little closer to see what I can find. If there's a lot of smoke, they'll probably have to cancel.

It happens every year. Where was the National Guard yesterday?

The Lizard King was there along with other politicians for their photo opps with the hills ablaze behind them.

This state has done nothing to prepare for the inevitable in the almost five decades I've lived here, in the state with the 5th largest stand alone economy where all of the latest tech is born and raised.

AI can't put out a fire.

AND BTW....congrats Alli on the Win!!
