Question Where's everybody meeting at the track
Where will the Dee Tee crew be gathering for the race? A co-worker of mine and friend I grew up with will be at Arlington today for the races. Her niece lives right near the track. Could someone post where everybody will be today or PM me the details......Thanks

Good luck to our girl and crew! I think she may surprise everyone. On our way to Saratoga.

Good luck, everyone!

Edit: 5th She looked to run well, however. Outrun. She was a bit excited in the post parade.

No real excuses. Seemed to handle the ground fine according to Graham. Said she was a bit rank early but settled and made a brief run but flattened out. Not sure she isnt better sprinting. The trouble is that 5 furlongs is probably a little short. Maybe try her sprinting on the dirt? Hoosier maybe. Good purses, bad horses.

A little rowdy in the paddock as well. Lead change didn't happen until deep in the stretch and she didn't seem to be reaching out with confidence during her stride. Still a super fun day at a beautiful facility. The dude is a perfect name for Joe, and Michelle's a Hoot.

Thanks Benny - it was great spending the day with you, Joe and then seeing Roger (pdrift) and his friend for the race . Hope my directions worked well for you - thought it was a little crazy - the girl from Boston giving directions in Chicago, go figure.

Mark - (HHH) not sure if your friends knew where to meet us, but we always meet in/at the paddock just before the race. Too bad they didn't meet up with us, the more the merrier.

I took lots of pictures and will upload them later. I got some pictures of GBBob's Cool Clue in the first race, too.

Another fun DT day.
