Default Maryland Million

Nothing gets me more jazzed up for a solid day of racing at Laurel more than seeing every single person on the Metro this morning looking at the crossword puzzle, which coincidentally also included a half page ad on the Maryland Million itself.

I think it's the redneck in me, but I love the Maryland Million and the West Virginia Breeders Classic just as much as almost any other day in racing.

Ah, they actually have electronic signs now in many cars telling you the next stop that is coming. TO be fair though, DC Metro conductors are WAY more understandable than the folks in New York.

I'm looking forward to going to MD Million Day also. It's always a fun day at the races and you can usually get a nice price or two somewhere along the line, if you are sharp enough to find them. I usually am not, so as long as the beer they serve stays cold, I still have a good time.......

Laurel never skimps on the sales on beer either. I've had more than my fair share of Woodford on the rocks, poured healthily, for $3 or less.

Where is Ah Day for this thing? Figure he'd be a sure winner in one of these races. Good to see Play Bingo and Silmaril making appearances.

He must be injured, I would have thought he'd be pointing at the BC Dirt Mile otherwise.

JS,

Play Bingo is a scratch...
