Staying in Sea Isle City (my Irish Riviera) to top off the weekend.

Tell the lady in charge of the tournament that you saw it on DerbyTrail. Maybe they'll spend some $$$ and give Steve some advertising revenue.

The three tracks for the tournament are: Aqueduct, Tampa Bay, and I think Gulfstream. I have to double check that last one.

Confirmed: Aqueduct, Tampa Bay, and Gulfstream

Joe,

where did you get that confirmation from? Is there a website that I can visit with updated info for the tournament? Like what the three tracks are?

I got it on the phone and when I went to sign up. I had written down the three tracks that day, and located that piece of paper this morning.

So Joe (March 1st) confirmed it for Joe (March 14th) - no time machine involved however.

Good luck to everybody who goes tomorrow. They did tell me that we will be getting a racing form. DRF had the entries final as of last night for those of us downloading at home - as everybody knows, the online edition typically has more data than the mass printed edition.

Good time on Saturday. They actually had over attendance by almost 50% - so the top prize was boosted to $7200 from $5000. All the other prizes were also raised by the same percentage.

I couldn't hit a race to save my life, since it was win only (no place betting). But the tournament itself was good and I plan to return in the future.
