Random observations from July 2nd
Quote from SC Upstate on July 3, 2025, 9:21 AM
- We went 0-2. Made the trip from The Meadows to Northfield and back. Great day ..... but I don't know how often I'd be able to do it.
- AMac went 0-18, did the same drive in reverse order AND sat behind horses for about FIFTY miles!
- Easy drive, exactly two hours each way. Loved The Meadows. No wow factor in any way with Northfield.
- Didn't have to deal with Aaron Merman at either track! lol
- Don't Ask Again - Dexter got the jump at the top of the stretch, cost us second. AMac had to snatch her up pretty good. All good. Sure he thought he'd get carried into the stretch. Dunn/Melander - tough to beat!
- Nasa - Told my wife to get ready to get her picture taken. Absolute monster his last trip. AMac had him trot through the first turn finishing up - flawless. Gates open, stumbled through the first turn! Spotted the field twenty lengths, lost by three. Can't wait to hear his comments on both.
- Poor Cherrys Girl - I believe she went for $42,000. She was up against $900,000 dollars worth of horses. One went for $330, another $300, another $175. Impressive yesterday.
- Did two AMac impression videos, one after each track. Wife said I nailed it. Lifted my hat, rubbed my bald held, "WELL, not as exactly the day we expected ...."
- We left after Cherrys Girl raced, guess we got to Northfield 5:30-5:45. AMac still had a few more drives. I'm going to do the math, not sure how he made it to Northfield for the second race.
- Like I said earlier, easy drive BUT I have no idea how he multitasks while driving!
- Today, rinse and repeat (minus Northfield) but with better racing luck!

Quote from SC Upstate on July 3, 2025, 9:27 AMAMacs last drive at The Meadows, 4:13. Second race at Northfield, 6:39. Doable but stressful. Drag at Northfield - brutal.

I would pay to see those videos. And all that I give my wife on drives is a steady stream of Carl (Slingblade), Forrest Gump and Doc Holiday (Tombstone version)…Heading north to Columbus in a couple of hours. She will be near desperation for a sane person by the time we arrive. Will likely hang with family tonight and Friday, doing the whole fireworks thing. Trying to talk the NY Connection to sign me as their agent for Saturday. Not for money, just for karma.

He's a different breed.
