I do that, "NO BRO, don't do that" TC scoulds . (You can't do it on race day becuase of the possibility that you might slip them something) Say hi and try and take out camera. ****ING A. DAMN BATTERIES won't ****ING work on the camera, just my recent luck. Pull out the camera phone and Byk blazes one up. Sumwon SMELLS the peppermints in my lower pocket, tries to get them and starts stamping the ground. Got to see lasix given to her, took the needle like a PRO
I felt the same way when Steve took Matt and me on the backstretch to meet Bernardini, Invasor, Henny Hughes, Songster, Balletto, etc. last summer.

Glad you had fun, and yes, Steve, Chuck and Willie are all very cool people.

Scav...congrats on a great write up! I am so happy that you experienced the thrill of racing up close and personal.

Racing is the worlds BEST GAME isn't it?

My friend, your girl will win one VERY soon and it will be the best!

I knew it. I knew it.

I knew I liked you Scavs even though you are a madman. The write up confirms it. My kinda person. Passion with a positive nature. What more can you ask. This makes me want to make Toga even more.

ended up having dinner in the trackside restaurant with about 8 Dt'rs.
Of course soon the form came out and Spyder says lets play a turf race at Penn. lol
I hit it $8.4 to win and a $100 exacta, made up for everything else earlier in the day.

It was a nice day for me too, cool experience.

Hey corn! now we can make tacos

Yes, a nice write up. I am glad I made the trip. Not real glad about the result but that's racing.


Did you get to hear a story after the race?

Think one of the classic quotes of the day came from Willie when he said, "I look gangsta or like Al Ca-pone-ay" in this hat!"

I think it's hilarious that three guys get into Chi-town, and the first thing they do is go shopping and have lunch

What a great day. I can't take the excitement of her races - stops my heart. Scavs is great and not at all crazy in person , just fun. Got to meet so many other DeeTee-ers this time, what a great day, old and new friends. Beautiful weather, beautiful track, wonderful group.

Sumwon - what a great horse. Who wouldn't want a horse that keeps moving forward, is in at the finish of her races, loves the game and gives her all every time, and is beautiful and well-bred to boot? We lucked out with Chuck choosing this girl for us.

Lucky us!
