Smile Arlington Million

Im not too sure if i can remember the timeline this year but i have to say it was fantastic to be at the Million. Despite not making any money, it was a lovely day (All we needed was Stotsfold to come 2nd and it would have been financially good!)*

It was also great to chat to everyone and have the craic for the weekend. Highlights must be:

- finding out that I just may become a professional baseball player

- being in the lovely Arlington paddock

- getting chatted up by Jessica in the aforementioned lovely paddock

- downing shots with people that look like corrupt 1970s detectives*

- watching soccer during racing at Arlington Park to the disgust of everyone around me

I laughed. Hard.

Best line of the Million? "Didn't we do this last year?"

Sorry I didn't make it down -- sad I missed you.

Everything just got to be too much work Friday getting everything in order and then I was all over the place Saturday.

Hope to see you again soon -- glad you enjoyed it.

Brian, no worries. I hear you are quite a big celebrity now in Arlington Park! It'd be tough to find the time for us mortals!
