My preference would be to skip the hurdles race and start our contest with Race 2.

[ElPrado]

Skip the jumping. We'll be jumping up and down as our picks all try to eat the infield grass without getting lessons on how to jump by them.

[Real Quiet]

As a matter of information Racetrack Weather Forecasts is predicting 1.35 inches of rain on Wednesday.  There ia a possibility they may not jump anyway and racing on the turf could be an issue too. Since I probably won't play on Wednesday anyway I have no preference on the jump race to start the day.

I love the beauty of steeplechase races

[THUNDER CAT]

Lets do the Bunny Hop over the hurdles.

[ElPrado]

Here I am. Somehow.
I innocently grab a pen and sit on the porch
I have paper. I have my phone. I have ice tea.
I take the phone and pick the first race. I attempt to write numbers on my paper. Nothing
I draw a line on my leg
I draw a line on my chair.
The wall. The floor. Lines everywhere.
I will be cleaning tomorrow.
Not a thing on the paper.
I more than likely will do the same tomorrow at the Spa, but does the pen have to rub it in?
