I wish I could do the same. Unfortunately, first few days of the month I am swamped at work and in office days will be 10/1 through 10/3. Company not flexible.

 I am planning for Lexington Oct 5th, hopefully the 4th also. Buckeye finals/consolations at Northfield 10/4 -10/5 also.

Ohio sire stakes 9/26-9/27 at Dayton. I am planning for that. Wish I could stay the whole week.

Keep your fingers crossed that we can finalize our home sale in Washington and purchase in Kentucky.  If it all works out, then the party is at our place….if not, I will be back in the Pacific NW cutting firewood and missing the best time of the year.

Thx Lonnie.  Back in WA right now to work on some property items.  Will be back KY in a couple of weeks and really looking forward to seeing you all in person this summer and hopefully beyond.

Pretty sure Wendy and I will be there Wednesday April 22nd, and Thursday the 23rd. Last week of the meet as we sneak up on the Kentucky Derby. Anyone else attending hope to see you. Look for us on the apron. We do have grandstand seats one of the days in case of rain. Love Keeneland. A palace.

Dang, we will be out of town that week.  Will have to catch you elsewhere for sure.  We are planning to go to Keeneland on April 9

Bummer Norm, always like hanging out with you. Looks like Red Mile later in the summer I'm very high on Prada, Wendy has a share also. We will be there for 3yotf's too. Wendy has Day Gus ( Degas) and I  have Zina. I'll probably be at Scioto for Next Gen already made hotel reservations for Breeders Crown. Our paths will cross and it will be good. Enjoy your company. Go Blue hehehehe.

Good luck Ed.  Really want to get in Winners Circle picture with you and Wendy at the Red Mile.  I’ve said it before, but the drive to the Red Mile from my house via Old Frankfort Pike is spectacular viewing of horse farms.  In the late summer the sunsets with the silhouettes of the horses are must see for any horse lover.

The other thing I really want to do is to get together with as many of this group as possible at a county fair.  Mark had mentioned this in a previous post.  If my colt ends up on the fair circuit, then I will send out some possibilities, especially if he is in NW Ohio.

I have 12 winner circle pictures on my wall. None from the Red Mile. I want one really bad. Would love you in a picture with us Norm. Your idea of meeting at a fair sounds great. Keep us posted.
