Its fastly approaching.
Where will you be on Breeders cup weekend??

The track is always a zoo near me so I am going to make the bets a day in advance since I do not like betting onlinie. And watch it on tv.

Hopefully, Brisbet will be accepting wagers and I won't have to go to the OTB. I like to stay home and watch.

Meeting one of my longtime friends and racetrack buddies at LaD OTB. We've been going to track since we were 18 year olds when LaD opened in 1974. We ran into each other there last year by pure chance, and again, at this year's Super Derby. We hope to CRUSH THE RACES like we did as youngsters! :lol:

Friday, I'll watch the three pre-BC races on the computer.

Saturday, I'll be at school, then at work. I'll bet the BC races in advance then catch the results when I get home around 12:30am.

I'll be in Jacksonville for the World's Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party.

I'll be working the Florida/Georgia game and avoiding the internet, all sportstalk radio and TV until I get home and can watch the races on my DVR.

My bets will be made on Friday, since I have to be in J-ville early Saturday.

My local track that is and I'm not betting until as late as possible (without runnig the risk of getting shut-out.) I made all my bets last when I first entered the track and of course it became "The Day of the One Hole".

I will be on track both days.

We should have a meet-up time and a place, just to have a beer and match some faces.

I'll be at Suffolk Downs comparing racing notes and how the Red Sox will win the World Series(should be 2 games up by then) with fellow horse players. It's crazy there on BC days but great fun.

There's a handicapper wih his own stand, under a tree on your way to the paddock from the front gate. Its NOT where they sell the drf and programs, but 100 feet further to the paddock. His name is George, George's picks sheet or sum such; its easy to find, and sure to not have too many people crowding around. :eek: there are a couple of benches right behind it under the tree, if rain or shine. GL to you all and stay dry.

BTW; there is a beer stand to the right of it w/ many tables.:ThmbUp:
