I get up there with my wife and kids a few times a year and we watch from the seats near the finish line so the kids can try to get the goggles. Any info you can provide will help. Thanks.
check your PM's... I just sent you one with all the info.

Archipenko been installed the 2/1 favorite and drew the 1 hole. I can't remember the rest but I think Stream Cat got the 2, Einstein got the 6, 8 total runners.

Secretariat is bootleg, Tizwhatever is 6/5 ML, Beverly D looks ok, DOA drew the rail and Precious Kitten the 3 (I think)

Oh yeah, what is the ground like?? I read about the ground being soft!!..

If its firm, Archi will most likely perform like he did in Dubai, and nobody can come close to that.. if its softer, i wouldnt be half as confident about him..
