As a first timer, I had a great time! This is a group that is all about what Derby Trail is all about.....good times, good handicapping, and hospitality, especially from Bigs and Kevin. I will try to dismiss the many times GPK called me old man, although my golf game sure showed that. I really enjoyed the trip, and I encourage all to try and do this sometime in the future.
Thanks again, MinnSkinny

The DRF: $8.75
Losing wagers over 3 days: somewhere well north of $100 Hanging at Tampa Bay Downs with a great bunch of friends: PRICELESS!!! As always BIG thanks to our local hosts Bigs and Rude. The weather was not ideal, or typical warm FLA weather, but certainly better than what most of us had traveled from. Cashing tickets, at least for me, were few and far between, but the drinks were good, the show parlay was rolling for a while, the golf was decent and the laughs were plentiful. Great time catching up with some old friends and meeting new ones (Minn, Knicks and John). Already looking forward to the next gathering. "Delta is dead to me" Dave

Thanks to Bigs and Rude for hosting us. Had a great time, met a lot of great people and cant wait for the next trip!! Was up and down betting but that's pretty normal. My golf game was exactly how I remember it lol. Hoped for better weather but when I landed yesterday I realized the weather was fantastic.

Of course, it's sunny and 79 degrees today
  Horrid weather aside, it was a blast to reconnect with some dear friends and make a few new ones. Hope we can all do it again sometime soon! "Once Delta does you dirty, you CANNOT go back to Delta!!" ~ 1st Commandment of the Show Parlay

Another great trip, but still felt a touch empty without everyones favorite Freehold VIP not making an appearance. We were lost without Herk as well, but 3kings kept him in the loop by seeking out some Oaklawn horses for our parlays. Always great catching up with old friends (BT, 3kings, golfer, fulla sheets, antitrust, and the always enigmatic Exacta Bob) and meeting new friends, knickslions and his buddy, john. It was especially great finally meeting Terry (MinnSkinny) after all these years. It was special for me to finally get in a round of golf with him. Always fun to play golf with someone that has the same amount of passion towards the sport as well. Special thanks to are local hosts Rude and Bigs and Mrs. Bigs (who graciously put me up for a night.)
We had a few really strong show parlays working, but as usual, we had no clue when to stop. The golf was ok at times, but it was ugly more often than not.  As good as the "Delta is dead to me" line was, it doesnt hold a candle to the line Rude uttered to Bigs and I as we were discussing the training ability of John Rigattieri. "He's been ice cold since he was red hot."
