Oaklawn is VERY enticing.

I'd be down for sure.

But less we not forget what Tampa has to offer:

1. Top notch hospitality offered by Bigs and Rude
2. Easy for Trusty and Sheets Entourage to join the madness
3. Exacta Bob and Mrs. Exacta Bob
4. Great weather
5. Plenty of gas stations
6. Grunder and The Grunder Lounge with show parlay happy hours
7. DERBY LANE AND THE GREATEST BUFFET EVAR

Agreed, but there also seemed to be an abundance of gas stations down there, just in case you decide to bring your motorcycle.

Yeah, Oaklawn is just a tough sell for me. Not much about it appeals to me.

that arkansas trim has got to be better than the overflow of 6's TB had to offer.

plus, you haven't had good BBQ in years

and, maybe we can hang out with Petrino?
