Yeah he told me he ran into you last week. He is actually up here now, going to booze it up in Beantown tonight and then head over to Suffolk Downs tomorrow bright and early.

I was looking at Dr. Pleasure as well. He may not have the biggest marque names in it this year but I think it's a very competitive field. Should be fun. Hey Boston's only a 3.5 hr drive, you should come on down.

So, I didn't see anyone, sorry to miss everyone. I looked for a bit but then really needed to handicap the race as I had not done it earlier. I am not used to wating in line at Suffolk to get in a bet so I was shut out of a race and vowed to not let that happen again. I spent the day in the grandstand. I hope everyone had a great day and congratulations to anyone who got the exacta in the 8th - what a payout!

Tent? What tent?

And I got there late, as I feared. Had a great deal of help being late by the MassPike toll booths. 25 minutes to go two miles! (And, leaving, the Ted Williams Tunnel was a nightmare....)

My handicapping stunk... the less said about that the better! And two horses were vanned off. Sad, very sad. (I'm not sure how many noticed the first, as the horse completed the race.)

I did meet up with some friends, the facility was quite clean (although I'll never get over the undulating floors), the employees I talked to were helpful, the Moseley and the MassCap were fun.

Sorry about that. It was the first time they didn't have the tent for a big day in I can't tell you how long. I was quite shocked that they didn't.
