Same here - well worth over an hour drive for me, and compared to Keeneland you can actually sit your azz down for a minute here and there!

Almost time for River Downs

Where do you sit??

I've actually enjoyed my trips there to the air conditioned dining area The paddock area is very nice, but watching from the asphalt apron is a better spot for frying eggs!

I had a feeling that might be the case, with "calls" in his name, but i didn't want to presume... .... You know i don't read here enough to know everyone!

But that is very awesome.

(oooh look, i'm Suffolk Downs now! GO Mass!)

Interesting Assmussen set a record for wins at a Churchill meet. Hopefully this will quiet some detractors for a while but probably not. Nothing breeds contempt better than envy of another's success. He gets it done while being watched as closely as a trainer can be watched. Good for him.
