Bigs,

Last year was my first visit to Little Everglades. I've been to all but a handful of the "jumps" venues and this by far is one of the best. Fantastic grass course, tragic that it is only used once a year for racing. Had the chance to meet and chat with Bob and Sharon Blanchard. They put on a great day of racing. Too bad, they and the NSA can't get on the same page and it looks like it will be a non-sanctioned meet again this year. I plan to attend again this year. Will you be there?

There was a horse like this at Emerald this summer named Soap Lake. every start he would miss and then come flying. The problem was people kept betting him in anticipation that he would have a good start and it just didnt happen.

I will be there. Great day out for the family. We have a spot in the infield on the "backstretch".

Is there as story as to why it is not sanctioned by the NSA?
