You are CORRECT!  I checked USTA site and it matches the dates as you posted.  Thank you for the correction!!

Diosa De La Danza and Highest Honors are both entered at Urbana.  All the races on the card are Buckeye Stallion Series events.

My wife, brother and I will be there.  Hopefully, I will figure out how to post some pictures.  Weather looks good too.

If anyone else is going and want to get together, let me know and I will private message you my phone #.

I'm trying to talk myself into a Northfield Park (Sunday) and Urbana (Monday) doubleheader.

It's a long shot.  Neptune N is what's making it conceivable.

Hope you guys enjoy Urbana. Reminder let me know if Purple Aura still has the two year old track record there and is her record still faster than the 3yo record. 

 MY Stable pet peeve. I bid 450.00 on a horse and someone bids 451.00. In the future when I sell and I can sell for 500.00 or 501.00 I'm taking the 500.00 out of spite and Mr. 501 can shove that dollar up their ( fill in the orifice literally lol) 🙂

Unfortunately, I won't be going to Urbana (or Northfield tonight) tomorrow.

Good luck to us!!

Highest Honors off to a tough start when it comes to the draws.  Only two decent posts,  which resulted in a 2nd (near winner) and a close 3rd in the other .  Just needs to get a little stronger, and I believe he will turn out to be a  a really nice horse.   Will be watching tomorrow.

I  have thought the same. I have not bought many from the private sale and have not run into that while buying a particular horse. But said to myself, i would but the x00 and not x01.

@purple-aura I will be sure to check.  As an added bonus, I will try to persuade the OHHA broadcast team to mention it if she is still in fact the track record holder.

@mickkid Good to have you in the forum

If by the wonders of the racing gods Highest Honors navigates traffic from the 2nd tier, then I will do a huge wave from the winners circle to all of you.
