Was about $20 for the special 🎟 🎫 tickets. I forget the exact excuse/wording, but basically was a fairly priced opportunity to attend. Leather sofas (saddle pictured) big screen tvs. About the toughest thing was listening to one ownership pitch (which was mildly complimentary if anything).
Was a rare nice winning day. Was up about a grand for weekend and was feeling well enough that was discussing basketball 🏀 coaching with security.
Nothing wrong with Pimlico.
Aside from heartstrings, my next love for LRL = 1m 2nd fin line configuration.

I'm sorry for your loss. I noticed your absence and now I know why. My best memory of Laurel is a family memory as well. My twin sons were in middle school, and I had taken them to the track a few times. We go to Laurel for a Sunday afternoon card, and we're in the grandstand. There's only one guy in the boxes up front, and the rest of them are empty. I wanted a chance to sit for an hour thinking they're old enough to understand the mathematics of handicapping. We enter an empty box, and the usher runs us off. LOL the guy in the other box exits, and who is it, but Dickie Small. He graciously says I'm done for the day you can have my box. Fitzhue had been my favorite barn for years. I shook his hand and thanked him. The importance of the day was about to happen. So I'm explaining in simplistic terms how to adjust time and how to transfer beaten lengths to time etc. My son Aj is thrilled to see for the first time, how mathematics he learned in school could be useful. lol Jordan tuned me out a few minutes in. From that day on Aj took an interest in mathematics, and today he has a degree from Rutgers Business School in accounting. He's assistant controller at one of Hopkin's hospitals.
