Default racing at AP today 7-20-6

The track will open today, despite the constant rain,
horses will race with scuba equipment and miners helmets equipt with headlights at 80 watts. the fins will be optional as some may have trouble fixing them to their hooves. all horses will however be required to wear masks and snorkels. the jockeys may wear aqualungs if they prefer, but only 1 tank with not more than 10 minutes air supply.


its mega ****ty weather here today, glad i'm out of school

it is a good album,
but i was referring to the tanks divers wear, they are called aqualungs. although i think the diver dan outfits might also be called that. you know with full helmets that locked onto the nodysuit back in the day.

not to get away from thje subjsct, but i doubt they race today.
it most suredly would be off turf.

I think they'll race but it will be a mess.
Habersham should know for sure.

he was a hell of a showman, seen him live at the old chicago stadium in the 70's. very good show.

the best live show i recall though would have to have been the stones when they still traveled with a "brass" component to the group for use in songs like heartbreaker. truely wild shows mezmorizing entetainment.

it will be a swim meet, as long as they swim in their lanes should be okay.

I hope the turf gets a chance to dry out and firm up a bit before Sat.
Be a shame to have such a slog fest for the preview day.

How on earth did Tull ever win a Grammy for "best metal act"? One of the great mysteries of the world.
