The annual round table in the simulcast room about how ronsmac can't stand stronach and people keep trashing lebron for no reason
There is not a better time of the year sitting in that room......knowing when I leave the pigskin is in the air in only a matter of days
Strongly urge anybody who can make it up for a day to do it, Ronny Chris and shayne are great people, and it's a blast spending a day at the races with them, the One thing I regret is not having the chance of us 4 and cjs dad Dennis having a group outing at the T......
3 years in a row now when I walk out the grandstand on the 2nd floor overlooking the track I remember curtisonthebay telling me when I asked him if he wanted to go to timonium "whizz I'm tired of going there, stale beer and breakdowns".......it's so true
Looking like the big t is trending up.....these field sizes are massive and should bring in some good prices

What? No mention of keeping your consecutive "Timonium Fan of the Day" streak intact?
And, I'm sure you forgot, but two years ago your unclaimed "prize" was a 1-day complementary parking pass to Energy Downs! (Great creativity shout-out goes to announcer Dave Rodman and equibase charter Keith F. up in the booth!).
I don't think there has been any serious horse breakdowns for several years now, just a pull-up here and there. I think the horsemen as a whole are taking the short meet more seriously now, so that means bringing bringing less "questionable" soundness stock. Too bad we could never get Dennis (cj's dad) to come join us, but I know his health was a big problem these latter years. I think he would have liked the "newer" atmosphere with the addition of the on-site year around OTB and bar/restaurant a couple of years ago.
We will miss you this weekend, ronsmac. It will be the first time I think in the last 4 years. Looking forward to getting an update on your wagering activities, particularly the OP meet. Feel free to bring Patty along again too.
Proximity, I am hoping we can raise your spirits for your future poker exploits. I greatly enjoy your vegas trip reports in the Poker thread, but I have detected a growing trend of tougher results and perhaps a diminishing enthusiasm. Keep your chin up my friend!
For me, Timonium is much more than a very nice racing experience, but a chance to talk and spend more time with great PA members that I would not have had the opportunity to meet if it were not for this very enjoyable PaceAdvantage racing forum!!
