Shipping Day!

Riot · #1 12-03-2007, 10:54 AM

I suppose it's a little silly to be this excited about shipping day, but to me it means Dee Tee fun is gearing back up after vacation.

Kickin N Screamin may race within the next few weeks, we're lucky enough to have 31Lengths as DT "on the scene" in Tampa, and best of all Dee Tee gets to start planning to meet up again to watch the girls race!

I know the Tampa contingent under TC doesn't leave Churchill until tonight, but safe travels to all! I can't wait to hear that everyone arrived in good shape, who will be KNS exercise rider, hear as Chuck narrows down KNS first start, etc.

I just got home from the barn. Kickin N Screamin is on here way to beautiful, sunny Florida. Lucky girl. She should arrive in Tampa after 10:00 am tomorrow.

Does she have a favorite treat yet? Peppermints? The Tampa welcoming committee wants to be prepared.

Did any other of your horses go with her?

BIGS! Are you visiting, or are you down there all the time?

Thanks for the update! Is TC on his way, too

You are joking right? Bigs is The Mayor of Tampa Bay

Cool, so limos will be sent to pick up the Dee Tee faithful at the airport!

But - does he have any control over closing time at local bars?

1. That can be arranged.

2. I tried for many years, but have failed.

31lengths and I are both DT02'ers that live in the area and couldn't be more excited about "our" new arrival.

Terrific, can't wait for KNS reports!

Any advice on best hotels near the track for us snowbirds?

pmacdaddy · #14 12-04-2007, 08:35 AM

Look forward to the on site reports.

Also, those $69 flights from Islip to Tampa are very inviting... Keep telling my wife, all I want for Christmas is a trip to Tampa Bay Downs.

Oh yeah and Arkansas....

There is a Holiday Inn Express and a Hilton Garden Inn in Oldsmar. Both are less than 5 years old and within a mile or two of the track (Oldsmar just isn't that big).

This one is real new, I forgot it was even there. I come from the other direction so I never drive past.

It is less than one mile from the track....

Five horses went down to Tampa...along with Jazzy (KnS) were Golden Orbit, E Major, Carwell, and Bubble Berry. I miss them muchos

Jazzy still doesn't have a favorite treat....she likes kisses, though

Work has been so busy as well as life lately. I hope to see some of you at Tampa if I can make Kickin's race. Life has a way of getting in the way lately.
