Oh The Road Trip That Will Never Be 😔

We took out our slide rules, calculators, computers, and abacuses.  We consulted the stars, fortune tellers, astrologists, psychics, soothsayers, and genies, and put our knowledge of calculus to the test.  But no matter how we sliced and diced the options, it's just not feasible for us based on our real-life commitments.  Darned those commitments!

THIS would have been the trip for the ages!

Saturday: 

  • Timeisonmyside at Scioto Downs (post position 5, Brett Mille driving).  Charley May drew inside us and was made 5/2 on the morning line;  Time is 3-1 second choice.  Mr. May isn't the horse he used to be though, and Timer beat him fairly recently if memory serves me correctly.

Sunday:

  • Tomboy Strong at the Marion, Ohio County Fair (post position 1, Luke Hanners driving)
  • Judy's Moni at the Marion, Ohio County Fair (post position 2; Luke Hanners driving)
  • JK Maga at Northfield Park (post position 3;  Anthony MacDonald driving)
  • Neptune N at Northfield Park (post position 1; Anthony MacDonald driving)

Monday:

  • What A Houdini at the Marion County Fair (draw not held yet)

Pending the draw for What A Houdini, we drew so well!

You have no idea how much I wish we could make this trip.

The draw for Monday at the Marion County Fair is out.

Four Stable horses on the Monday dance card at the Marion County Fair. Our first bad draw of the long weekend will be What A Houdini, who will start from the second tier. 

Anthony, however, will get his fair share of fried Oreos there.

Also racing will be Uncle Danny, Vine Staff, and Super Mind.

Brett Miller chose over Charlie May, Ahhh Bach, and Better is Nice to drive Timeisonmyside.

And, Brett Miller drove Charlie May last week! So that says a lot.

I will be there…99%.  Need to get a photo for my Ohio license.  Seriously, if he wins, I am in the Winners Circle.

The Marion County Fair racing didn't go well, did it, for TheStable.ca horses. 

Thank goodness I didn't make that trip!
