I won't be stopping by...but thanks for the invite.

For $20 any who are not interested in the Zenyatta party may attend the Volponi "dessert" party at the Churchill backstretch!

Hey, I'm actually going to be at that one. Come by and say hello, I'll be the guy with the Circular Quay hat on......................

This is a great thing for the people who would want to do it... I mean it really is nice.

I always feel like I have to say this... I am definately a fan, I don't think I've ever gone overboard though (with her. Maybe with one or two others but hey that's just who I am. Accept it or go **** yourself. Respectfully, of course! ).

These threads always turn into little contests of wit and sarcasm and that's cool but remember kids... fans either become - or are - bettors. The couple of threads every year about generating new anything, bringing new people to the sport, wwhhhaaahhh-it's-dying-what-do-we-do-oh-lookie-here's-an-email-askng-for-suggestions etc...you've got to be able to accept this kinda thing cause it's just the way it is.

There are different kinds of fans and players and I don't know about any of you but I have no problem when anyone goes out of their way to include the loyal, lifelong types who DO play believe it or not.

Like I said I would not wish to attend this BUT a couple of my closest friends are probably hearing about this right now and planning on going and why not...

Good for them.

I'm sure they'll have a ball.

If it had been Hendrix I'd have gone in a heartbeat.

Forgot to say I'll be juping on and off so please be advised that if you wish to form a line to crucify me I am not running away but will be back.

I have to disagree with the highlighted part. The "fans" that would most likely be interested in this are the same people talking to her on facebook as if she is really responding and checking her blog everyday to see if there is an exciting update like she made a big sh.it or something. These aren't bettors and never will be. Not that they have to be, but betting $2 a year in the Derby on the horsey with the bestest name doesn't make you a bettor.

She was and continues to be an incredible PR machine though. I just wish these efforts actually did something that helps the sport grow where it needs to.

Besides Freddy and Stonegossard, who really wants Jerry Moss's autograph anyway?

C'mon man...you know everyone wears those Circular Quay hats?..very popular hats for one month if memory serves me correct.
