I'd pay my taxes early if I could fast forward the calendar to April 9 without any setbacks for these two.

This is the best win at the track I may have ever had. Tickets at the finish line. Confirmed hotel rooms just a couple of hours before the announcement and a spark in my wife's eye. Now that's a winning tri-fecta.

Has anyone given any thought what would happen if it should rain? I'm guessing Rachael would be in the gate, and opinions on Zenyatta running on an off track?

What I want is for OP to make sure that they put this race as the last one of the day. Us working people need time to get home and watch it live. It needs to go off no earlier than 6:00 pm EST!

Any ideas as to who will be broadcasting it? Will it be the usual HRTV or TVG or will ESPN decide this is worthy of 30 minutes of air time?

ETA: At least Steve will be able to air the audio on ATR!

I have spoken to the Hot Springs Chamber of Commerce. They are promising sunshine, low humidity, low 70's and calm winds for April 9th. Oh, and a hard fast track.
