Nice find. Thanks. I'll text him in the morning. We're both in Tiger depression.

Pick 4 carryover whenever they race next. Friday, I think.

Red Mile hosting the 2027 Breeders Crown. Sweet!!!

Wow, two years in a row in the middle of the country. Now I don't feel so bad for not getting a passport and missing Mohawk this year. Bad news for the east coasters. (Hopefully Hoosier in 2028!)

We don't need no stinkin' Breeders Crown in the east... we have The Hambletonian.  Oh wait... never mind 😁

@lonnie Are you not coming for the Breeders Crown, Lonnie?

A couple of photos from upstairs at The Red Mile on Sunday.  The first is the photo finish tech pulling up a finished, enlarged look at a dead heat outcome.  The judges are on the other side of the wall watching the process on a large screen monitor and making the verdict.

The other photo is of the 4 staff in the judges room.  Presiding Judge on right, staff that posts the race order on the TV monitors, and the two associate judges.  Standing on the left and watching with binoculars as field goes down backside is Hall of Famer, Dave Magee.  Al is probably most familiar with his driving in the Chicago area.

Yes, familiar with Dave Magee. 

I actually met him last year at Corbin. 

My second day there a lady came up to me and asked if i was an owner or trainer. Stating the judges noticed me being there for two days (second day there were less than 10 fans, first day maybe 20). I said no just a fan. She asked if I wanted to meet the judges. I went into the booth. One of the judges was from Minnesota, from pic does not look he is at The Red Mile. When he found out I was from the Chicago area, he stated you must know Dave Magee. I felt like an idiot not recognizing him.
