That's awesome Jman. I enjoyed Oaklawn when I was there a few years ago.

Jman, will you try and get some pictures of Delightful Kiss? When I was at Tampa, I was an idiot and didn't bring my camera to get any... he's a gorgeous horse.

That's a great story. What a classy guy. Not sure what I would've said if someone told me they'd won the Preakness. What is there besides some form of "wow." I think you did pretty good.

Yeah back in the late 80's and early 90's Loblolly Stables was big time back then. He owned a horse names Sawmill and a couple of nice fillies also. I remember back when he had a few in against a horse named Rockamundo in the Ark Derby. He paid over $200 to win.
