Default Poss. Churchill race - who will be there?

I know we are all waiting to see if the race fills and Sumwon will go <g>, but if it does, who else will be at CD this Sunday?

Anybody else up for dinner & socializing afterwards, maybe taking The Trainer and his SO out if they are so inclined and available ?

There's a pretty good chance I'll be able to make the race Sunday if it fills. I like the idea of socializing afterwards, I'm just not sure how long I'll be able to hang around.

I thought I might be able to make it, but it's not going to work out. I will definitely be there for the next one....assuming it's 2-4 weeks after this coming Saturday at Churchill or another track in the bluegrass region.

I hope we get a couple more at CD. It will be tough to make it to VA unless I make a vacation of it. Never been there, could be fun.

Just spoke to my wife, we might make the drive over to the Ville on Sunday and drive back Sunday night. Will be bringing a friend from law school and using the drive there and back as "prime" studying time.

I am headed to Louisville/Lexington tomorrow (Wed) evening for a 4 day trip so I'll be at Churchill both Sat and Sun.

Can't do the after track dining - got to catch a flight back to BWI Sun eve.

Colonial Downs is a beautiful track. Small grandstand/clubhouse that only adds to the charm. Turf course is a very nice one - make that two. The drive down Int 95 from Washington is a race for your life and you are guaranteed to hit backups, which only prolongs the miserable trip so I try to avoid going there. Might be a better driving trip from the west and it's an easy trip from the south but DC to Richmond is a nightmare.

And, for Chuck and Steve - the licensing office is one big pain in the backside. They hire temp help for their short meet that can lead to problems. They won't let you slide on prints even if you've had them done recently at another track - you'll have to send them new print cards for their files. Make sure you avoid the wrath of Mr. Pogue - he's the chief investigator - we got to know each other rather well last year.....

Am I reading the blog entry wrong or did she work 7 fur. (total) in about 1.23 and change? If so, I would be very happy with those numbers.

you definately could read it that way.

2 furlongs in 25
2 furlongs in 23
3 furlongs in 35.4
-----------------
7 furlongs in 123.4
however Chuck stated she got 5 furlongs in 100.4
maybe it was meant to be
2+3 or 2+2+1 or the last furlong in 12.4
not what I wrote above

it is a little confusing maybe we need to ask Chuck to clarify

the work sounds very encouraging no matter how you slice it.

hahaha, you sound like me leaving for Arkansas last weekend. I did the 2 AM drive out of town. I don't know what time I'm going to get there. I'll have a few people with me and meet up with a couple more. May do brunch at Masterson's or something... or get some John E's.
