She is doing well at Churchill - too bad there are no more races for her there.
Iowa is only an extra hour or so. Monmouth would require a flight and a hotel. I'm assuming but - if she goes to NJ she will probably stay in New York until ?????

after chuck gets a better feel on the iowa 0aks and whos showing up for it. and if she can at least be competitive enuff to get a top 3 placing and he gives us the thumbs up on our chances and he decides to point her in that direction. I WILL BE THERE!!!!!! or if he decides to use up our allowance race first at arlington park before we go up the scale. I WILL BE THERE ALSO!!!!!. i see girls for pearls is running in the grade III dogwood at churchill. should be a gauge somewhat for us .

found the NTRA write-up from the 2006 Iowa Oaks, almost kinda of remember watching this race but then maybe not, it has been over a year lol..
http://www.ntra.com/content.aspx?type=news&id=18663 Baghdaria made up a 2 1/2-length disadvantage in the stretch to collar the co-favorite Maggie Slew in the final stages to win the $200,000 Iowa Oaks (gr. III) at Prairie Meadows Saturday night. Under strong urging from Rafael Bejarano, Baghderia got to the wire a half-length in front of Maggie Slew in a time of 1:43 for the 1 1/16-mile event for 3-year-old fillies. Brownie Points, the morning-line favorite, finished 1 1/4 lengths farther behind in third....

1:43 and change should put SWLY in the ballpark. 1:42 possible if she improves at all.

I saw Maggie Slew run last year at hoosier. If that's the competition level SWLY can compete.

thanks roger! he's kicking himself (well, not REALLY) hates to miss work, he will be absolutely miserable. add in the fact that he never gets sick....is never laid up...
here's the best (worst?) part....he was at MY job when it happened. waiting for the owner/prez to call so i can give him the news. here's hoping i'm not job hunting next week!

 We need to find something to hold up in the winners circle, that specifically represents all the DeeTee-rs that can't make it to a particular race ... hey, we could hold up Chuck!  Or, we could get a life-sized doll, dress it in DeeTee silks and a DT hat, losing mutual tickets in one hand, DRF in the other ...
