Sure you might get action in the political room, but the paddock will still be the sound of crickets...

As long as the "colts" get equal time (no geldings please).



I like Oxbow for the Derby. Four prep races (unheard of in this day of kid gloves) and he seems like a tough sob who actually thrives on racing.



Now I must go shovel my driveway and walk the dogs.

Southwestern Mass. in the Berkshires about 50 minutes from Hartford.

I'll take winter any day over the heat, humidity, and insects.

I can make Saratoga in a hour and a half if no traffic and going the backroads through the Berkshires. I avoid NYC and Boston.

You forgot snakes,ticks(miserable insects) and sweet tea...
Don't see much of them in recent years..
Still take all of that compared to tire chains or snow tires and shovelling snow...Humidity worst of above...

This is a big tick area. We treat horses for lyme disease on a regular basis. Deep Woods Off works great when I head into the woods. We have snakes too. They don't bother me.
