Thumbs up My first time

to the winners circle..5th race at Charles Town last night in a 10k claimer for fillies & mares. West End Lady sets the pace then draws off to win by 3. It's the first partnership I bought into and now we get a win. I've been to 16 Kentucky Derbies, 4 Breeders Cups, and countless stakes that have faded from memory, but I'll always remember the 5th at CT on 8/24/06.
