Default Trevor & Vic

Hey guys.

For those of you that will be around L.A. next Sunday Trevor and I would love for you to come to live racing at Santa Anita.

After the final race there is going to be a charity "walk on the track" benefitting the City of Hope's amazing cancer research center.

Gonna be very cool. We'll start in the paddock. Walk through the tunnel onto the homestretch at fabled Santa Anita. Up to the 1/8th pole where the starting gate will be sitting. Great photo ops!! Back down the same stretch where Zenyatta passed all the boys in the 2009 Classic and right into the winners circle!

Leading the way will be Carla Gaines, Bo Derek, Chantal Sutherland and other first ladys of racing. Many jockeys and trainers will be there too and lagging at the back of the pack will be Trevor and I. If you'd like to walk along with us we'll both be happy to sign autographs, take pictures or just talk racing.

It costs only $10.00 to sign up that includes admission. For a $20.00 donation you'll get admission, the walk and a Purple Fight Cancer T-Shirt. Visit www.santaanita.com or call 626 574 6384 to get signed up.

Whether you want to " Scrape Paint" "Sprout Wings" or be " Straight and Strong" do it for a great cause this Sunday with us at Santa Anita.

See ya there.

Santa Anita is generous enough to give away beautiful calendars just for the asking...

so

I decided to go ahead and purchase a ticket and make a donation - even though I am not going to make the trip.

Ill be there along with alot of friends, seems we all know women in our lives who have battled cancer, some winning and some not. My mom in law was just diagnosed a few weeks ago with breast cancer and its has really hit home with me. Bruce Headley's wife is also fighting the battle and an owner friend of mine is going thru her 3rd fight.
I think its great that people are buying tickets even if they cant be there.

Thanks for letting us know about this, Vic.

If things don't go well during the card and you're in need of a new shirt, you can have mine at will call.
