Venue for April 27, hmmmmmm . . .

[DonGuido]

So we could go to Churchill for Opening Night to get a feel for the track or Golden Gate Fields with 6 Stakes including the GIII San Francisco mlle? Not sure if going to CD gives us much of a feel for the racing quality we'll see on Derby Day and we have been there many times before.

I guess I'm leaning towards Golden Gate. Thoughts?

I don't think that we have been to Golden Gate since Russell Baze retired. It should be an interesting change of pace. The program is part of what they are calling Gold Rush Weekend.

Actually we played Golden Gate in February but the venue is fine by me.

You're absolutely correct RQ. I had blotted it completely out of my mind despite all of the banter about the locale. It must be true that the mind is the second thing to go as one ages.

I can think about ten things that are going but I forgot the other 8.

I'm already gone, but I forgot where?

I can generally remember where I'm going, but have trouble remembering why I went there. Might not be more than a trip from the kitchen to the bedroom, but in that short span of time, I will forget the purpose of my trip.

And I thought I was the only one that did that.

The really scary things though are trying to recall names or facts. I can recall things, but what seemingly used to take nanoseconds seem to take hours now. I could be a good contestant on Jeopardy, if they just gave me 30 minutes between answers.

I like the choice of Golden Gate Fields.

I can go Into the Cat room to get a legal pad...

Once I am there I see the litter boxes need to be cleaned ....
I do the litter boxes

I return to the living room only to realize I never did get the legal pad
I originally went into the Cat room to get

OR

I go out on the deck to fill the birdfeeders only I see that a lot of leaves
have accumulated = so I get out the leaf blower to clear off the deck

I go back inside, sit down at my keyboard, look at the glass doors...
Only to realize ..... I never did fill the birdfeeders

THE GEMINI MIND IS A VERY BUSY HIGHWAY

[DonGuido]

Ok, we have it. Get ready for Golden Gate Fields. Points and ROI threads to follow.

As we have for many, many years . . . we are playing the full CD card. The undercard races on Derby Day, Preakness and Belmont always attract high quality horses, jocks and trainers. Besides we've been making Plen's job to easy lately with 8 and 9 race cards , I'm kidding Plen.
