Enjoyed that southern summer huh? hehe I am in south louisiana and 100-105 is what it has been since early in the spring, and Aug. is usually the hottest month. I put one of the sprinklers out in the pastures and the horses were fighting over who got to stand in the middle of it! How did ya like the humidity? Totally different right?

Yes I did react too soon. It just seemed odd to have a stand in without saying anything before.

I did say something. I introduced him at about 18 mins to post. Then went to the paddock to watch Neil Drysdale saddle Cold East Wind and talk to Joel.

I thought Old School did a great job!

Slew - look about 2/3 of the way down this article, it says he won't do the fair. It's a bummer, I was looking forward to hearing his calls next week. I guess we'll be hearing more of Frank this summer...

Thanks. I don't see how he could leave the Del Mar backstretch scene for 2 weeks anyway while he's handling Rosario's book. He's making a heckuva lot more money booking mounts than calling races.
