WOW...huge day, that's insane!!! Never-mind FG Oaks day is the following day, then Sunday with LA Derby, NO Handicap and other assorted stakes all weekend. 3 Day marathon of racing for closing weekend. I'm not sure I can handle all the fun, I'll have to pace myself...!!!!

I'm heading down to the help them out in a few areas. I think on Friday night I'll be working the "Beer Garden" to help people learn how to bet. Fair trade, right? Give me a beer, and I'll give you a horse. 18 races later... we're all having fun.

What's the most races you've called in a day? Would you want to do 18?

I called 14 quarter horse trials the other day. But that's a different ballgame than t-bred races.

18 is a lot of races for everyone involved... from the announcer to the officials to the pony people and their horses etc.
