Thinking Jamesons for dinner Saturday (same place as last year) - thought that worked very well. Open to other ideas though.

Last year's restaurant worked well. Easy enough format.
I might be bring as my guest the former CEO of the now defunct Great Lakes Raceway. He's an interesting fellow. He mostly owned and trained horses before getting into managing the track. He knows pedigree well. Because of some health issues, I'm calling it 50/50 that he will come.

On another note, who showed up last year and didn't bet? I'm thinking of not betting this year. If I can be at Arlington and not bet will have to be seen. I'm too much of a techie. The day is more about the people than the horses. It was a fun day.

I won't know about joining you guys for dinner until I see how my day goes.
I came up with a new diet idea which is working out fabulously so far...and I'd like to suggest it to those of you who might be in need of such a thing.
Very simple. I refuse to eat until I cash a bet for the day...and, as a result, the pounds are just melting off.
I lost 17 pounds in May alone.

Updated attendees as I have it (all for Fri & Sat unless noted). I suspect a few more are to be heard from:
Jdhanover
Thaskalos. Dinner 50/50
Illinoisbred
Tbwinner
GoforGin Saturday only (or is that just for your guest?) plus guest. Dinner - both
ArlJm78 (will be there Sat with work colleagues). Dinner no. Friday - no
CapperAl Saturday only possibly plus guest. Dinner guest is 50/50
Stuball Saturday only plus 1 guest Dinner -50/50
Helles doubtful
Mostpost Saturday only Dinner - no
CapperAl that would be great if he could join us. Sound very interesting! Hope he can make it.
Thaskalos 50/50 on dinner
.with all the lost weight you will have a big appetite! J
Stuball excellent! Look forward to seeing you again!
BTW, my flight is due at 2:05 Friday (have an out of town business meeting to attend). I plan to go straight to Arlington from the airport. When we get closer Ill post a few more details.
I spoke to Jessica Pacheco on Sunday for a few minutes. She is likely to swing by our group for a few minutes on that Saturday to say hi and talk with us. I'll find out that day when she will do so. Will also see if I can get one or two other AP folks to stop by.

Unfortunately it does not look like I will be able to make it for the weekend. We are short staffed and I can't get away from work all too often (living in Des Moines IA area now).
Had a great time last year and will miss meeting up with you guys again. Enjoy the weekend and hopefully the weather is great!

Stuball Saturday only plus 1 guest Dinner -50/50
Mostpost Saturday only Dinner no
Based on this I think we are between 6 and 10 for dinner. I will make a reservation for 10 at Jamesons and adjust as we finalize.
Jamesons Charhouse:
1702 W Algonquin Rd, Mt Prospect, IL
If anyone else wants to join in the fun, please do so!

Look forward to seeing you Saturday Stuball ! Yes Limestone (or "Stoner" as we affectinatley call him now) has given us a thrill. If he is in good shape I think he will run next on the 30th or threreabouts.
BTW, while I think our group is a bit small for dinner, I think the conversation will be entertaining. I'm sure there will be many a horse stories to share.
Awaiting confirmation back from the track about where the tix will be (guessing the Clubhouse/Route 53 side and under either my name or Pace Advantage)
