@bearcookie56 It's horse racing we've all been through ups and downs, good times and bad just keep your head up and enjoy the ride, your time will come.

Quote from pcmark15 on September 6, 2025, 12:36 AMShe was awesome tonight great job by Megan and Scott, but I am a little bummed out. Scott mentioned the She's a Great Lady as a possible destination which is a good thing, but about a week and a half ago I realized my passport had expired. I could no longer renew it and had to apply all over again, it doesn't sound like I'll have it in time for the race if she's entered. Hopefully I'll have it for the Breeders Crown, if needed.

Does your state offer an Enhanced ID? You can use that to drive into Canada (if that was the plan). Or, I believe, your birth certificate (original) would suffice (double fact-check me on that one).

Quote from Purple Aura on September 6, 2025, 4:14 PMYou can get quickie passports too. I've heard they cost a little more and take up most of your day in red tape. But if it means that much to you, maybe look into it.
Happy for you Mark. Very nice filly. Jealous of you too having Scotty up most of the time.

Thanks for the info, I did some research and Ohio does not offer Enhanced ID, apparently they passed a bill in 2023 allowing authorization but US Customs and Border Protection have yet to approve it (our government at it's best). On the bright side yes you can use your birth certificate in conjunction with a government issued photo ID (drivers license). You may also need to provide vehicle registration and proof of insurance and would likely be subject to secondary inspection to verify the documents.
I haven't traveled to Canada on a non-business trip in about thirty years, when I did I drove to Windsor then got on the train to Toronto. I know we made stops along the way and was wondering if anyone, especially our Canadian friends knows if there's a stop along the route where I could get off and rent a car to get me to Mohawk ? TIA

Quote from Purple Aura on September 6, 2025, 11:16 PMI would recommend passing thru Port Huron/Sarnia than Detroit/Windsor. Detroit/Windsor more Nazi like than Sarnia/Port Huron. This was years ago. Recently though I went to Mohawk to watch Crantini race in the Mohawk Million with Wendy who had a share of Crantini. We went thru Detroit/Windsor, this was during covid when you head to tell them ahead of time online you were crossing. No problem entering, on the way back the guy kept asking why I was with Wendy when Wendy is married. It was almost comical. But really more sad, personal stuff questions. We are friends for a long time, she loves racing and her husband hates it. End of story. Not with Encyclopedia Brown asking us questions. I used to love going to Windsor. Now? I want no part of that border.

On a side note Miss Fancy Nancy just finished up, won in 1:51.1 in the rain and slop in a nw5. I swear I don't know what they're doing with this filly.
