Wow what a mess! And I thought major confusion and conflict like that happened only in Kentucky!  :headshake: Casinos were supposed to save racetracks but that's not how it's starting to look.  :(

Actually, we're pretty good in the "confusion and conflict" department here in Illinois also!  (Both regarding racetracks, and in general.)

I lived in Chicago for awhile - y'all seemed pretty well organized.  :) Also make some doggone powerful moonshine!  ;)

And I partly agree with everybody!  :lmao:

I'd give HOTY and Older Male to Wise Dan as Vic said.

Champion Older Female to Royal Delta as Man o Taz said.

Champion 3 yr old male - have to agree with the Taz Man there.

Champion 3 yr old female - Princess of Sylmar

Champion 2 yr old male - Havana

Champion 2 yr old female - She's a Tiger

I couldn't agree with you more!  :) But the problem is lots of people don't get NBCSN and with my old cable company, Time Warner, it was a whole package add on. (God forbid you should be allowed to add just ONE channel). Luckily I switched to Direct TV and its included in our sports package. Time Warner =  :evil:

Forgot where I asked this question, so I'll ask again.

What happened to Tony Bennett to sing "The Best Is Yet To Come" at this year's BC?  Remember reading at PR earlier in the year that he would be the one, or I thought I did!

That's the trouble with the older folks, health issues always something to consider.  Hope he's alright.

Me too. I think he would have been the better singer got the song.  :)

I had mine muted until the horses came onto the track and that lady stopped having a seizure while she was singing.

:lmao: YES!

And people ask why this sport is on the decline? 

It's the people, stupid, not the horses! 



For some reason, thought this forum might be different.  Oh well .....


I'm on Vic's side.   :thanks:

Don't give up on us yet dear! The Best Is Yet To Come!  ;D

You are such a sweetie, Tin Man, thank you!  :hug: And I can promise that we will do our best to make sure the board stays positive and happy. There are enough negative things in life - why bring them to a hobby you enjoy? I can get enough rudeness is real life - I come here to  get away from it.  :)
Funny thing about nasty Internet people - if they were looking at you face-to-face, they would never be as nasty as they are when they can hide behind the "Net. Probably because they would be afraid of the black eye they might get!  :lmao:
