I think the midnite massacre SAturday might have worked

Hank is so awesome. So hilarious, Cherie just jumps off and Hanks just stands there without a care in the world. No one around him.

My favorites are 25 (Elite Squardon pulling away) and 103 (Colonel all ears)

I know that I have a couple of E Winna and Aldebutante in there, but I can't figure them out....

yeah, I couldn't have gotten any luckier with them. They were perfect. I could see the big screen to my left, and see them breaking from the starting gate for the Derby, AND see the final turn each time.....If you were a section over, you were pretty much screwed with no TV accessibility.

Churchill really REALLY needs to put some money into that place, they had 17 inch monitors for people to watch. I couldn't believe it. Arlington has 35 inch flat screens everywhere now.

I gained a greater appreciation yet again for what Arlington offers the locals, the racing might be kinda hilarious, but the facilities are absolutely beautiful.

I think the craziness might have been hampered becuase of the rain on Friday. We got into the infield and watched one race, and then got a phone call saying to get the heck out, so we were pretty much in the same area inside the rest of the day.

I plan on rolling down again sometime soon, probably for the fall meet, and seeing the track on a different day, the place looks huge, but I was just not impressed with things. No machine, bad tellers, no TV's....Byk's BBQ stand was rocking and rolling though, rocked that pretty good on Friday
