Great to see there is finally a race for her...now how do I break the news to my wife that Ausable runs at 5:30pm while at 6pm we are due at a wedding reception 75 miles away! Anyone got any good suggestions??????

Better to be fashionably late then a no show?

Fashionably late is always the best way to go in these cases if possible. If it's all or none in terms of being on time, I've found unless the skipping the event leads to a big score where they can shop from it, the wives are never happy, so the safe bet is to go to the wedding and catch the replay when you get back probably.

To Cannon and Well...

thanks for the advice...got the ok from the wife to first go see Ausable run and then show up at the reception a bit late after working out some details to get her to the wedding/reception on time...this is the same wonderful lady who agreed 36 years ago to stop off at the Saratoga Harness track the night of our wedding so we could watch my horse run

Jesus, that is awesome

Wow! Either she's a saint, or you're quite a catch.

:-)

Good luck to "Sable" and all.

As you can tell, I'm not a serial poster, but your post above is a thing of beauty. Congratulations man. Here's to another 36 years!

If your wife ever decides to hold a training class, I'd like to reserve a spot for my wife.

showed your post to my wife...she laughed her a** off...classes begin opening day of Saratoga next year...how about at the Carolina Barbeque at High Noon...oh wait a minute...she always agrees to let me go 'solo' on opening day so will have to start class another day!

Looking forward to heading to the Spa on Friday. Presently, weather indicates 50% chance of rain. If the race is taken off the turf, will Ausable still run?
