Good answer.

DrugS,

You have mellowed from the olden days of AOL.

I am not saying that is a bad thing, by the way....

I miss those days, and certainly some of the people from that board.

All props to you for honoring Our Holy Father with that picture--I am so glad to find a fellow believer here amongst all these degenerate gamblers!

you worship the emperor from star wars as well?

in other news, what brings you back to posting on message boards dude?

man, i wish pointgiven1985 was still here for you to enjoy! you'd have had a field day with him

by the way, duns and i are planning on hooking up with drugS for a week at the spa. if you have any intention of making it up there, we should try to coordinate. that will be my first, and probably only ever visit to a nyra track!

it's cool to have you posting somewhere again. you are the only person i've ever met from your dirty profession that has a sense of humor.

another by the way, tector.

i looked up the pedigree of your name, tector, and it was quite interesting.

apparently, the dam of your namesake is a daughter of his own sire! i'm not sure i've ever seen a stallion bred to his own daughter before.

Well, when I ditched AOL--like all sane people have done--that pretty much cut off those boards (although you can get to them now) and I just didn't hook up elsewhere. Also, I just play the horses less than I used to--I've been busy with other bad habits.

Steve/Rog told me about this place.

Saratoga is unlikely this year (although I've been there 2 of the last 3 years)--I'm heading up to the Belmont. That will be the first TC race I've ever been to (although I've been to an even dozen BCs). The Derby is too much of a zoo (I hate CD anyway), and Pimilico is a total dump from all I've heard. But Belmont I like--so I have to root for SS in the Preakness to have a possible TC on the line.

This is my advice about Saratoga--I know how you are about crowds: avoid the weekends, ESPECIALLY the Travers weekend. It is just too much of a zoo.
Weekdays are the ticket.

It's a cool place. Keeneland is my favorite, but Saratoga is up there.

Bring on the debate!! Hahaha!

Finger Lakes to me, is either Central or Western, NY.

Albany/Adirondacks north, Upstate.
Syracuse, Central.
Roch/Buffalo, Western.
Binghampton/Elmira/Catskills, Southern.

This is an debate that can go on and on.

I just started saying I am from VT, since I am closer to VT then any place that gets thrown at you when you say you are from NY or Upstate, NY.

"Oh Saratoga/Lake George, that's near Niagara Falls right? Oh it is not? Oh so near the City are you?."
