What Do We All Have In Common?

[Danzig]

ok, i'll play....

white.
high school diploma.
no one in my family interested in racing. have loved horses for as long as i can remember, and i guess that combined with a sheer competitive spirit made me a natural horse racing fan.
grew up in maryland, moved to arkansas about 12 years ago.
on the cusp of 40 (ouch).
started posting on the espn board back when war emblem won the derby.
not much of a bettor-no opportunity from home. don't make it to the track much either, certainly not as much as i would like.
happily married for 21 years. tony enjoys going to the track-or maybe he just enjoys me enjoying going to the track! he's taking me to arlington this year, sweet!

Keep us all posted, I may be living back in Chicago by then. If not, I can take a day off and come down for the weekend and hang out!

I think a mini DT Arlington get-together might be in order. What do you think?

why would i not want you? come on now.
all the chi people should do it, dell, scavs, you, brian, playa, plus any out-of-towners. maybe this should be officialized in the meeting area.
believe me, Dell will be there, it will be official.

K Jim is right I will be there. Let me know the date and if it doesn't conflict with 2 toga trips planned I'll be there.
PS Little Chicago secret is million day isn't that crowded so that is what I'd aim for. All coming PM me and I'll do my best to set you up!

Sounds like a plan. I'm always iffy based on work if I haven't moved back to the area already, but I'd do by best, especially on a Sunday!

You're right about the Canterbury Invaders.

You also have to watch the Praire Meadows shippers. They tend to get overlooked.

If you follow the trainers you get a sense for which ones are bringing in live horses and know where to place them.

a arlington get together would be nice. if my trainers stabled here which he probaly will be i can take every1 back the barn after the races and we can have a BBQ. we had a few last year but the best one was the day of the fireworks at arlington becuz yours truly was extremely intoxicated
