Looks like it's going to be nice weather on Saturday, but lousy on Monday. Hate that. Was hoping to go for the Southwest, but prediction is for freezing rain that morning. Temp eventually going to be 42 degrees which isn't horrible, but not nearly as good as Saturday when it's supposed to be 65. Not sure I want to be stuck in the clubhouse with around 40,000 other race fans.

Might work up the courage to go anyway for the big giveaway that day and to see any horses that might have relevance for the KD. Probably a better chance of getting eaten by a great white on Lake Quachita than winning some of the giveaway, but as they say, you have no chance, if you don't go. Hope you guys do well on Saturday.

Mr. Z will be interesting to watch after that last debacle. I was sure something had to be physically wrong with him after that last race.

He's on a roll. Hope to hear his old shtick there, when he settles in. Always liked his rodney dangerfield impersonation calling the race
