Thanks John
It is possible I will have tickets available, I have to wait until they send out the application. Since I am a gold member for Twin Spires Club, I get first dibs on tickets so when I get the ticket application in the mail, we can talk.

Note that this year, Churchill Downs is making you purchase grandstand seats for BOTH the Oaks and the Derby, years past they allowed you to just get one of the days.

Best was as an adult he remembered me playing pinball and seeing nothing. LOL Doesn''t beat him bringing an ex heavy weight champ to Lou's bar and asking for a garbage bag to put on his seat to take hime home.
