Are you going to the BC Cajun? I'll behave while I'm there...maybe. I know that I'll be drunk off my a s s most of the time, eating at all the nice restaurants, and, of course, playing the ponies while I'm there. It's going to be a good time. It is a much needed vacation.

the Beyer seems a little inflated to me
they are two very good 3 y/o's
it would be sporting of the Shaw to enter both in BCC
I'd like to see a Volponi type win

Nope, unfortunately, I won't be going. I'll be busy in November... lots of Nascar races that I'll probably be going to.

I got lucky in that my schedule let up. I didn't think I was going to be able to go until last week... I figured I that I would go to the BC instead of to the Derby, although I may get to go to the Derby next year as well before I take off to a four year university...

I don't know yet. I just know that I'm getting the h e l l out of NC. It's not that I'm running away from the place, but I'm running to something...

You know, my doctors in Danville misdiagnosed me with rheumatoid arthritis. I went to Duke and all my tests were negative and normal. The doctor at Duke literally diagnosed me with stress from not being able to ride my horses due to college. That's crazy, but he's the expert. Well, maybe that's what I am trying to run to...wherever the horses are is where I will most likely end up.

Hate to break it to you, but NC isn't a bad state compared to most. Florida is rough...

You think it will be better, but when you get to a place where you have very few friends and family, you'll miss what you were running from to begin with.

I don't know... less than a month after I got to NYC for college (knowing absolutely no one) my aunt wrote me a sweet letter that ended with, "You sound like you're finally where you belong." And lo these many years later, she was right. She usually is.

Don't get me wrong, I looooove my family. But I love them even more from a distance.

Kentucky, if you're supposed to be someplace else, you'll know it when you get out. And if you're not, you'll figure that out, too. I guess it's just different for each person. Cajun, are you still pretty close to where you grew up?

And so I'm not totally off thread-- I'd be happy to see DC in the Cigar Mile... give me another excuse (reason) to go to Aqueduct in the winter.
