Charles Town's races are nearly always "Bob Frankendoodle's Birthday Race" or something to that effect. It always cracks me up to see the newly married couple or the birthday boy in the winner's circle handing out some bitty trophy.

That's a nice story, glad to hear you and all your people enjoyed themselves. They do that at the Fairgrounds, and you see people having birthdays and anniversaries all the time. I think it's a nice idea and everyone always looks like they are having a good time.

I had a named race this past season at Bay Meadows, I name it "Proud Patrolman Fans" after my favorite ten year old $4,000 claiming horse (he's since been retired, living the good life as his trainers pony). In order to reserve the clubhouse patio, I had to guarantee and pay for 50 guests. I had about 40 friends pay their way and I covered the rest, then I opened up the patio with the really nice buffet spread and the keg of beer to the "regulars" at the track. I had trainers, jockey agents and degenerate gamblers that I was friends with
 all eating a free meal and having a blast. It was the greatest party I ever had.And the best part is, a few of my "civilian world" friends that came are now hooked on racing, I'm even talking about going in with a few of them to own another horse!
