Umm you take the guy whose 4-42, no thanks on that for me. I always liked guys like Dutrow, Baffert and Pletcher who just win a whole lotta races consistently at the highest level.

I will most likely be out of commission on the 15th, so it looks like the next 3 Saturdays are gonna be the only times I am able to make it out to CD this year. At least I have the Turf Cup and the Handicapping Contest to look forward to.

50-50 I am going down on July 8 for the contest. My friend is definitely going and without inside info he has zero shot. With 10K on the line I probably am going to take a shot if Showing Up puts big money in my pocket on saturday.

GPK,

Nice to see a fellow Carolina poster. Can't make it this week but July 8th sounds very tempting. Is it too late for the contest? Where do you sign up at the CD web site?

Nice place Kitty Hawk...use to go there when I was at NC State many many moons ago.

Caio,

Spyder from SC

Hey bro. Would love to have you join me up there on the 8th in the contest. Im sure you can still get in on it. Just go to the website and you can find the link there.

Kitty Hawk is beautiful indeed. I love it here, but I am fixing to move back to VA at the start of July. Sorry about you luck with NC State...I bleed Tarheel Blue.

GPK,

When did you go there? Yea, about the Pack, I'm one of thos Damn Yankees and came down here and was told we hate these guys...and REALLY hate these other guys and never really got into the tussle as the best sports team we had while I was there were the NC State cheerleaders who were national champs. Of course my really good friend was the coach which was very nice indeed as she would set me up at times

Trust me there are always a way to get a seat there provided you are there early.

I am flying in early myself, and hope to get a table at the bar on floor 3.
