Have to admit that the guys do look pretty sharp in their new hats And the DT racing hats rock.

I love that group picture. The best thing about this has been meeting new people from across the country. We're a disparate bunch - where we live, what we do, ages, interests, etc - but with our common starting point being a love for horse racing and SWLY ... it's just been more fun than I ever could have imagined, and it's been terrific meeting EVERYBODY

I couldn't believe that your flights didn't work out, and you couldn't get to Arlington! The disappointment in your voice when I called you was palpable

Will most likely be at Saratoga sometime, either later this month, or maybe just for the weekend Sumwon may run. I may give up on trying to arrange flights, and simply drive a day - to ensure I get there.

I don't know what's happening after Saratoga, but imagine what happens if the Dee Tee partners hit New Orleans as a group!

I've done the drive from Lexington to NY. I think I left at 3:30 in the morning and arrived in Albany a little after 5 that night, which included a lot of bathroom breaks. Can't say it was the best day of my life, but it was doable. I hope you make it here!

I have made the trip from CD to Sar in a little more than 12 hourse though I rarely stop and had a lot of luck with traffic. Usually around 14 hours.

Great pics...and an awesome facility! I've never been there & I've got to make it there next time in Chicago!

Yes, I'm thinking a good 12 hours to Albany. I can't get up at 3:30am like Sightseek, however, even 'though I love driving. Main problem is farming out the dogs for the week so I can get away.

Hey, Chuck - could I rent a stall in your barn at CD for a week? Just have TC trot and slow gallop them about 2 miles a day, then have them breeze a hard three furlongs about every fifth day for their speed work
