Still shooting for the 20th ???

Yes though there is a potential strangles issue at Hoosier that may force a change in plans

Strangles issues?

I hate it when that happens !!!

Better the change in plans, unfortunately! :(

Plans are still up in the air. Maybe know more in the morning.

Just off with Chuck. Hoosier officially out of any consideration as situation worsens with Kentucky and Illinois excluding horses that visit there.

Good news is a MSW sprint at Kentucky Downs (!) on Monday, September 28th now a serious target.

Do you think that there is a legitimate concern for this action by the Ky. tracks are is it a retaliation thing in response to the just announced addition purse hikes at Hoosier? Perhaps some of each?

No. It's a reaction to a dangerous airborne virus that spreads very easily and quickly.

Sure I understand that part, but I don't recall the reaction being that radical in the past. I wasn't watching events as closely last time it happend so maybe that's what happened then too. Perhaps that event caused this type of stance to avoid a larger spreading of the virus this time. Just wondering outloud.

Thanks.

Neighboring, and even far flung tracks, ABSOLUTELY excluded shippers out of strangles-affected facilities when the last widespread strangles (and herpes for that matter) scare(s) hit.

Along with barn or farm quarentines, it's an automatic must to stifle the potential spread of viruses.

Run Deb Run! Kinda cool if she gets to go since it's so unique - what happens if it rains, she gonna like it??

at work and not even gonna google, but wtf is a cornhole tournament ewwww... :confused:

lol.. cornhole is called "beanbags" other places. Just the wooden things with the hole in them that you toss beanbags through. Nothing gross though it does have a gross name!

okay that's cool, but pretty sure that cornhole mess is what made Billy Jo McAllister jump off the Tallahatchie bridge, and guess it's a regional thing and don't quite under why they can't have horseshoes or bingo but as long as they're not tossing or holeing em at Al-Deb it's cool...

Was thinking about there last night!
 

I was gonna mention Kentucky Downs.....this would be great! :tro:

Beautiful place...tough to cap !!!

I will be on my way back from Florida. At ths time. Hummmmmmmmmmmmm.

I'll take 75 this time back:D

I hope I can make it. Love to see this happen!
