This sounds great. I wish I could make this trip. Have fun all.

Paul

Plan on leaving Queens to get there before first Post Thursday.

Sounds great. Thanks.

Safe travels all. Wish I could be there.

Mrs Heels and I will be heading up from VA tomorrow AM. My parents also coming down from upstate NY in the AM. May have a couple friends from NY in attendance as well. Safe travels to those attending.

Tip one for me Dave and pmac. Have fun.

Any truth to the rumor that Hungarian Gent is entered on Thursday?

Good luck to our girl.

Tony Black is about 80% likely to be at ACRC Thursday to act as Dee Tee's host. There is a hospitality tent reserved for everyone and Tony said he wouls take everyone around to the jock's room and more.

Sharon Banford will handle KNS who arrived at Philly Park in good shape.

Hope everyone has a good time. Wish I could watch it somewhere but I'll be on my way to the dome by post time.

thanks for the update - good to know KNS :{>: arrived safely ! hope she gets settled in and rested up and also hope Sharon gets nice and rested up cause she's gonna need it in the paddock tomorrow :eek: wonder if she's been given "advice" on how to handle lol..

but seriously safe travels and good luck to all tomorrow, looking forward to checking out the replay (Twinspires???) and reading tales of trips to the ACRC jock's room "and more" !!

I gave Sharon a detailed note explaining the saddeling procedure for KNS. So she is well aware of the fact she is "difficult". So good luck to her....She's been warned.

So who from "team" Simon will be there?

Check out this Old AC newsreel from 1958
 

Heading to Atlantic City for my third Thursday in a row. The 12 horse fields have been tough. Look for the Keeneland on my cast and if you say hello I'll buy you a beer.

Now check out this link that I've created. It is about a minute of the United Nations Handicap with Clem putting it to Round Table for the second time in two weeks, from September 15, 1958. Click on the clips tab, I saved just the race footage. It takes a little time to stream so be patient, great old school.

Good luck to KNS hope he does the same as Clem!!!!

Will be taking in the day's racing on twinspires from Ohio; wish I was there with all the DTer's . . . sounds like a fun day will be had . . . safe travels to all and to KnS as well!

Wish I could be there and good luck. Have a blast partners.

Wish I was still there. I was in A.C. Sunday to Wednesday & I wish I could of stayed another day, but had to get back for business. Good Luck to KNS & all DEE TEE Partners. :)

Im tryin like H*** to get there in time for the race..... Going to be tight..but Im trying... If I dont make it... Good luck to Team Simon & all the Wonderful DT Partners there.... lets hope for a picture !

Tony Black confirmed he'll be there to host the crew. Enjoy the race! On TVG at 4pm.

Hope someone can post some pictures later :)

DT bretheren shaking up the tote as KnS is 5/2 first flash. (about 440 on her in win pool)

Good Luck guys.

A nice run considering she looked blocked around the turn and was closer to the pace than the horses that came in. She could easily have just given up in the stretch, but ran well IMO.

Agree. These maybe a bit over her head but was very game.

Where did she finish? @ work and don't have access.

6th...about 4-5 lengths back...ran 3rd-4th most of way...a couple passed her in the stretch.

Kickin ran like she had the AC version of the swine flu. Reports are that she acted poorly since her arrival and was very nervous today before the race which may have something to do with her flattening out in the stretch. Her brain is a terrible thing to waste.

she needs her Maggs

Really great day at AC this afternoon despite the mid pack finish for KnS. She was her typical anxious self in the paddock prior to the race, but seemed to settle after Tony saddled her up. I thought she ran a solid race though she flattened out mid stretch.

Very nice DT turn out today:

Nick (Pointman)
Pat (Pmac)
Mark (Hickory) and Karen
Michelle (SuffolkGirl)
Mark (ShadowRoll)
Darren (ddthetide) and Carm (Darren's Dad)
My mom and dad (NYU1963)
Tony Carango (our stand-in trainer)
and of course
Tony Black

Both Tonys were fantastic. Big thank you to each. Tony Black was the most gracious host and stayed with our group through the last race. He also pointed us onto some winners later in the card.

Pictures from Michelle and Darren to follow later I am sure.

Sorry KNS couldn't get the eastcoast contingent into the winners circle, but glad Dee Tee was represented in force, and I'm looking forward to some great pictures!

KNS photo from Atlantic City
 

VPRTDO, here is an attached jpg of kNS, one photo that turned out today. Tough race for KNS. She ran good all the way until the top of the homestretch. Everyone had a good day.

Looks like I missed a DTer in my list above. Sorry about that. Hope I haven't missed any others.

Just home to Long Island now.

Fun day, nice to see everyone. Tony Black was a fantastic host. He was great discussing second half of card with us.

Very cool to visit AC Racecourse for the first time. Really liked the track. Nice little crowd and set up.

Great to see Dee Tee runner in person. Thanks.

I really enjoyed the experience today and had a great time with everybody. Thanks to everyone today, Tony Black is a great guy, gracious host, and we really enjoyed hanging out and talking with him.

KNS was definitely riled up in the paddock despite the instructions given which were taken to heart and followed. The stable pony tried to stand in front of her but unfortunately she still got worked up. She still put up a real nice try despite being put in a postion that she doesn't care for.

The experience of Atlantic City Race Course was a lot of fun, thanks again to Steve, Chuck, Tony and all the others that made today possible.

Fun was had by all!
 

It was finally great to see Kickin N Screamin in the "flesh" :) Karen & I had a wonderful time with the DT gang plus it was a honor and treat to meet Tony Black. It's too bad that AC Race Course isn't used more often for live wagering. The track is located just minutes from the boardwalk and easy to get to. Hopefully I'll be able to see more DT runners at Saratoga & the northeast in the coming year. :D

KNS Post-race
 

Did KNS come out of the race okay? Is she back in KY? Staying there?

I have not spoke to the trainer post race but she is set to leave this Tuesday to come back to CDT.

The word at Atlantic City after the race was that she came out of the race fine.

:rolleyes:

The other one...

Thanks ... everyone :D
