In all seriousness just go to the main office, go up to the roof on the elevator, walk across the bridge to the press box and just ask someone where the announcer's booth is and they'll bring you up. welcome anytime.

Thanks, I will be sure to pay a visit when i next head out there!

I met John Dooley in an elevator on Million day 2004, so hopefully my announcer social skills are still sharp.

Interesting Assmussen set a record for wins at a Churchill meet. Hopefully this will quiet some detractors for a while but probably not. Nothing breeds contempt better than envy of another's success. He gets it done while being watched as closely as a trainer can be watched. Good for him.

I know it shut me up. My way of thinking is this...if you're a cheater and want to prove to me that you're not, win a trainers title at a major track. Of course my way of thinking may be UTTERLY ****ING RETARDED to some, but it gets me through the day.

Just realized X doesn't show AP video, so no Sumwon race live for me. Yet another reason to hate Xpressbet.
