Oracle,
I'm with you on him. Rarely ever have I been disappointed by a ride of his. I think it must be a tough life to be at the top of your profession and not be able to celebrate it either with food or drink.
Look foward to seeing you all in 2 weeks. Man I hope the skies are clear for that w/e.
Heard from Hooves this morning (5:30am) from w/o's at Saratoga.

Dell, I ate breakfast at a place which is right in front of the hotel you are staying at (Courtyard). Its called Country Corner Cafe. All you have to do is walk across the street and you are there. Very good food, you will love it.

Hooves is there already.
We got moved (upgraded?) to the Residence Inn (also a Marriott property) so we'll have a kitchen etc. Supposed to be about the same distance to the track. I'll have no problem walking as it will be all new to me. Last and only time we were there was for just a day and I was too young to fully appreciate it.

Pat is a party hardy personality and a class clown. It is very possible that with the days off he has fallin off the wagon. He has a pattern and his recent actions fall into the mold. The board of stewards are not hounding him like the last board did, so maybe he will be alright. We wish him a speedy recovery from his pain.
