I couldn't agree more.

I'm not. It's going to be in the upper 80's and humid this weekend. That and burgoo don't mix.

Barry Faulkner a British presenter of American racing here, who used to work at Philadelphia Park, calls me the Hologram because he reckons that I have the ability to be at European and American tracks at the same time.

With the Arc and Keeneland on this weekend-i wish that he was right.

When I saw the title of this thread, I thought Discreet Cat was coming back on short rest for the 400K Meadowlands Breeders Cup next Friday.

I'm sure I wasn't the only one.

I am so pissed, I am having surgery on Friday and will miss opening day....the first time in several years. At least I will have a good month of recovery.....laptop and the TV

thats a shame, i feel your pain. hope your surgery goes well and that it doesn't interfere with the rest of the meet.

i was considering going down there but I hear that they have a lot of burgoo and i wouldn't want to step in it and ruin my shoes.

Thanks Jim. Crutches for 3 months, big ankle and leg surgery. So not sure I will visit the meet or not, depends on how I am doing.

As for Burgoo, I love it....with crackers and hot sauce, and an ice cold beer...uhmmmm!!!

Our India-bred is certainly going to have to do a heck of a lot better than he did last time to even come close.
