Thanks a bunch to Steve for putting up with a few of us loud mouth drunks so close to the BBQ stand. You are a very gracious host and thanks so much for the gift.

The rest of the crew:

Scavs: my boy..great to finally meet you in person. What a highlight reel this guy is. When he wasn't cashing tickets...you would never know he was around..but, when he hit...the whole Saratoga race track knew it. "BOOM BABY!!! I'M BACK!!!"

Hooves: The most chill guy I know. It was great to see you again this year. Mrs. Hooves has to be the sweetest lady on the face of the earth. What a fantastic couple they are.

Steve Dellinger: I don't even know what to say bro I absolutely knew you and I would get along. You and I...just a couple of simple guys that like to pound beers and have a good time. The whole Siro's thing...yeah...lets not even talk about that

SatansTwin: The biggest surprise to me. I had very little contact with Barney before Wednesday, but folks...let me tell you. This f*cking guy is unreal. I would need the Steve Byk dictionary of superlatives to describe him. Hand's down one of the greatest humans beings I have ever met. This guy treated me like he had known me forever, so incredibly generous...words do this guy no justice. Thanks for everything you did for me bro.

Ateam: Joey..oh man. Thank God that Augie's didn't have Jager...we would still be passed out there now. 6 wide...and we still missed that f*cker...we suck dude. Brooklyn is now at the top of my list of places to see...I gotta see how you roll. One more thing....NO...NO...NONONONONONONONONONO

BigsMC: Add this guy to the list of nicest people you will ever meet. Was incredibly kind enough to come pick me up at the airport Wed. morning, even though we had never met face to face. This guy simply has it going on. Great wife and 2 ADORABLE little girls. I wanna be like this guy when I grow up. Thanks for everything you did for me Mike.

Gales: (Martin) 6 handicap my ass...this guy has some golf game. When he strolls up to the golf course at 6:50am and our tee time was at 6:51am, I just knew he was experienced at playing golf hungover. The look on his face and the color of his eyes was simply priceless when he arrived at the course. Bigs helped him out a ton when he started passing out beers on the 1st hole.

BrockGuy: SUN KING?? Your stupid Irish ass singles Sun King in the all stakes pick 4. Zito sent me a text message 5 minutes ago letting me know he just crossed the finish line. It was GRAND hanging out and drinking beers with you.

Jamie: I can only imagine the thoughts going through peoples minds at the airport last night as they walked by these two poor bums sprawled out on the terminal floor. We were so damn pathetic.

Mr. Billy Downes Sr.: I know he won't be on here to read this, but when I come to Arlington...the beers are on you.

John: Did we ever come up with an age on those 2 blondes? Would their age have really mattered??

GenRisk: What a doll...an absolute doll. So glad we finally got a chance to meet. She is everything I imagined and more.

Lack of sleep and significant less brain cells than from what I started with last Wed. morning prevent me from being able to go much further. There were so many more other people that I met and can't say enough nice things about, but you know whow you are.

Thanks again to everyone for everything and a wonderful vacation.

GPK
I second everything...Hooves' girl even gave the ole' Scav a smooch before he left. That was the cherry on the chocolate ice cream

Oh, THERE IS SUN KING. COME ON SUN KING, COME ON SUN KING!!!

For the record, Billy Downes Sr. got home OK AND he was at his customary seat this morning, bright and early at 11am at Trackside OTB. I know this because I was there also

Scavs, I sure hope you, especially, get in on the next two DT horses, because having you there makes it incredibly fun, and is certainly worth the price of admission

Not sure. I am HIGHLY considering quitting my job on Wednesday thus funds will not to be spread around for the next year as I want a sabbatical, or whatever they call them.

And it just aint me. You guys should have seen Bigsmc's little girls faces light up when they saw Sumwon. They are used to horses because Bigsmc is a baller and owns like 400 horses but they were just awesome. I can't remember which one as far as names, but the 6 year became my favorite 6 year old when she was rocking some Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough ice cream. Anyone and I mean anyone that rocks that goes up on the Scav's list of favorite people

What a great time I had on Saturday- Jamie, Nicole, and Kev, I will remember fondly you all watching me chuckle on the phone at my silly willy husband asking me to put $2.00 on Lawyer Ron to win... "Lawyer Ron? Really?"

Thanks everyone for a lovely day- it was so great to see everyone I met last year at the JCGC again and to meet new people, too. And Saratoga is gorgeous!

I'm so glad you made it up, Nicole. I wish you could have stayed longer, though. Your husband has got to be the luckiest guy alive... I would have never have put a dime on Lawyer Ron. LOL
