haha the guy didnt say anything to us til after we had been there 10 minutes! It wasnt a big deal, if Chuck or Steve or anyone was there the gaurd would not have said anything, but since Joey and I were the ONLY ones around, its all good.

I did not give her any peppermints, next time I go i'll bring some carrots but no sugar for that sugar addict!


Then joey and i got kicked out for not having passes!

You gotta love NYRA that stuff never happen before "our" new governor used NYRA as a "whipping boy" to get elected!
Now, "the chickens have come home to roost" with Gov. "Snidely Whiplash".

Just lay your hand flat with the palm up like you have something and she'll be fooled. Security sucks there. I can walk to Todd Pletcher's barn anytime between 11 and 8 but god forbid I try and get over to the Annex.

Stopped by to see SWLY yesterday. My whole family got to meet her and had a really nice time. Apparently, we did not bring enough peppermints (I thought 8 was enough), but she was very friendly other than the begging part. Her next door neighbor (Top Royelle) was quite rambunctious, but Sumwon was a very well behaved girl. I have heard that she is in great shape and spirits.

According to Chuck, the chances of the 7f Starter Allowance race on August 26th being drawn in are quite good. I wasn't so sure about a substitute race being used as the originally scheduled races have all been filling at Saratoga, but he said that a lot of trainers pull out a bit early or try to race their horses the week up to Travers Day, so the races after Travers Day fill out a little bit lighter. According to Steve, Sumwon is "out of control" and ready to race.

Thanks to Chuck and Steve once again.
