I'm no photographer (I had to borrow a camera) and a neophyte as far as putting pictures on the net. But I setup this livejournal link below with pictures I took today if anyone is interested. Some of them are pretty weak, especially the ones of the race, but then again probably everyone saw the races already.

Let me know if this doesn't work and you can't see the pictures.

I tell you what it looked great on TV. Chicago really is a great sports town. Its so blistering hot here in San Antonio.

Man Gorella looks small on TV, but even smaller in your pictures. What a beautiful blue sky. Nice.

When you see her you are just taken, she really looks good. and runs well too!
She came into the paddock and just started snorting loudly over and over as to announce her arrival.

Rising Cross is tiny.
My god she looks like a pony.

Gorella is small but put together. Dont matter once they get on the track. English Channel... my wife says English Channel looks the best to her out of all your pictures. She has no idea how good these horses are, never heard of any of them. She has been around horses since she was a fetus.

I think she has become one of my favorites, sort of like EC is to GPK.
Her kick home looked phenomenal.

Yeah, me too. I don't know what I'm going to do if she and Ouija Board meet in the BC Filly & Mare Turf. (Other than box my exacta. )
