How about meeting at the Bud tent around 11:30 or 12?

FYI Lawyer Ron likely not coming

Brass Hat and Fairbanks considered the top 2, maybe Student Council

Which leads to the question "Where is the Bud tent?" Like I'll be there that early, as I'm coming with my husband.

At least he's learned that it is not acceptable to miss the first race.

In the past it has always been on left side of the winner's circle. Just after the final turn. I wouldnt' worry, Suffolk Downs is fairly small so you won't miss it. When you walk out from under the grandstand to the apron just look to your left. You won't miss it.

Awesome, I wonder how are we all going to recognize each other. I will be the tall white guy wearing an orange Titleist hat and shorts.

Bill, had a few (well a lot

) of brews with your brother Dan last Saturday at a party back home (Bill Krester's - Stone Arabia Rd.) Had a good time talking horses and seeing everybody back here. Have a good time @ the Cap.....taking a shot with Dr. Pleasure, think he's sitting on a "big" race.

Yeah he told me he ran into you last week. He is actually up here now, going to booze it up in Beantown tonight and then head over to Suffolk Downs tomorrow bright and early.

I was looking at Dr. Pleasure as well. He may not have the biggest marque names in it this year but I think it's a very competitive field. Should be fun. Hey Boston's only a 3.5 hr drive, you should come on down.

Six foot tall woman, white hair, glasses. I'm hard to miss ... if I get there early enough.

Ok sounds good. So if anyone you guys and girls are reading this tomorrow morning or tonight if you're up betting Hong Kong or something nuts like that
swing by the Bud tent tomorrow and wie'll all have a good time.

Hope to see some of you there.

So, I didn't see anyone, sorry to miss everyone. I looked for a bit but then really needed to handicap the race as I had not done it earlier. I am not used to wating in line at Suffolk to get in a bet so I was shut out of a race and vowed to not let that happen again. I spent the day in the grandstand. I hope everyone had a great day and congratulations to anyone who got the exacta in the 8th - what a payout!

Suffolk Shippers · #12 09-22-2007, 11:14 PM

great day today, sorry I missed anyone else who was there...long week, couldnt get on here to make meet and greet plans. Hope you all enjoyed!

Tent? What tent?

And I got there late, as I feared. Had a great deal of help being late by the MassPike toll booths. 25 minutes to go two miles! (And, leaving, the Ted Williams Tunnel was a nightmare....)

My handicapping stunk... the less said about that the better! And two horses were vanned off. Sad, very sad. (I'm not sure how many noticed the first, as the horse completed the race.)

I did meet up with some friends, the facility was quite clean (although I'll never get over the undulating floors), the employees I talked to were helpful, the Moseley and the MassCap were fun.

Sorry about that. It was the first time they didn't have the tent for a big day in I can't tell you how long. I was quite shocked that they didn't.
