Looking forward to observing the spectacle of opening night on Monday.  Will post pictures and light commentary for those of you not in attendance.  Let me know if you have any requests.

I'll take a pastrami on rye (no mustard please).  Do you deliver?

Anyone watch the grades of the 2yo's?? Not a fan. 

I fell asleep 20 minutes in.

I have not yet, I assume almost everyone is A- or higher. (a few B, B+). Grade inflation has not just hit the education system.

I don't understand how a horse that never makes the races is graded A- or B+ In my opinion if they don't make the races and he isn't optimistic about their future maybe a C-. If he is optimistic a C+. I love Jolene Hall but I wouldn't give her an A- on the season she's had. That can still change depending how she does in her last few starts.  It seemed like the video was more about trying to tell us we've had a good season. Have we? If you have Jailbird or Perfect Thought then it's been a really good year and congratulations to you. I was disillusioned by the video. If we have a lousy season in Ohio again I'm not sure where I buy next season or IF I buy next season. 

When Dovescry's first foal goes for 900k.

My journalism skills are poor tonight.

Good one @maywoodal

Besides Jailbird Jog and Perfect Thought, who I would give A- grades, none would be higher than a B to my critical eye.  Haven’t watched except skipping to Highest Honors, who I would have given a B-/C+  (AMac gave him an A-).

It was a dark and stormy night when our two-year-olds hit the track this year.  It wasn't pretty.  In fact, it was downright bad.  I would rate the entire class a "C" with two outliers.

I fear for the youth of this country.
