just read in this mornings paper that semaphore man re-aggravated his injury, and won't run this year. he may end up retired.
we're staying at the brand new comfort suites, very nice. over 20k yesterday for opening day, but off track handle down due to the signal dispute.
wish me luck at the windows today!

How was the .50 cet Corn Beefy on Friday? Semaphare Man a gelding? Can't remember for the life of me. Man back in the day me and my friends would stay the whole opening weekend at the track. Bar hopping at night until the early hours and sleep in until 10-11 am get a Bloody Mary at the Arkansas Sports Bar. Man i miss them days.

we didn't get up here til yesterday evening. and yes, semaphore man is a gelding. i'll try one of those bloody marys! i'll probably end up eating too much off the buffet and ruin dinner....the .50 corned beef was moved to saturday for the larger crowd.

oops, forgot the bloody marys....just got home a little while ago. had a wonderful time. had some bad beats, but county clerk and sonar helped right the scales. shame it rained all day, turning the track from 'fast' to muddy...but we were snug as bugs at the carousel terrace. bread pudding was fantastic as always.
