That's a complete shame. I may make my way over there while I am up there.

Yep, seems I will be staying about 75 miles northwest of the track. I will definitely be visiting.

No. I haven't attended Arlington since June of 2015. I moved my play to SoCal racing at that time. It's a shame...I live just 24 miles from AP and it is a beautiful facility but the racing has suffered. I'm in Crystal Lake- a town that regrettably made the national news last week with the missing and eventually found dead 5 yr old boy. It has been quite somber here.

C'mon, last time I went (last September) I sat on the 3rd floor at a table with M Scott McManus. I saw at least 7 others...
It's really sad when you stop and think about it.

8 inches of snow last night in Cheyenne. Took me 14.5 hours to drive to Beloit, Wisconsin because of conditions around Cheyenne and western Nebraska. If we ain't working Saturday I will be at AP.

You do realize it's $18 just to get in on Derby Day. Bring lots of money for overpriced food as well.
