Had a whole crew out there today enjoying the sun/chicks/Albin.

Friggin Albin ran his rear end off, and he wasn't stopping at the end, I absolutely loved his 'action' down the lane, lowered his head and just was gobbling up the ground. Final quarter in almost 12 flat. He actually galloped out real strong at the end so hopefully the longer the better. Hard not to think that if he was able to get clear a little earlier that there would have been a different result, especially given that he was bounced around alot and the winner was clear for the most part.

The stretch run was almost ruined when I jumped up and landed on the step above and almost ate concrete, only to pop right up and almost get the little guy home.

Top all that off with getting a phone number at a local pub tonight and things really couldn't have gotten any better.
