One of the bad things moving to Roanoke was losing the Southwest Airlines flight to Albany out of Norfolk. Used to score cheap tickets. I just checked prices for flying out of Roanoke for opening weekend and the cheapest is $450. F that.

I remember Rondo around the Kentucky circuit. Once he went to the turf, he was short odds, run off on the lead and fade in the stretch. I think he finally won a couple of races at Indiana Downs. Some of my friends would always "throw him in my exacta and tri" since they are UK fans......don't think it ever went well.

I recall Oedipus Oneil - I believe Gary Contessa trained him as was ok for a while... Nordberg was a NY bred filly who I don't remember doing anything spectacular but remember hearing she broke down at the Spa and was euthanized

If you guys leave a little early we could do a whack and track, and you could still get home by sunrise.
