- Didn't even realize the world series was over with until yesterday afternoon. It really needed a lame weeknight time slot to not compete with football games.
- Breeders was a blast. Had a great setup, and got to hang out with some friends via their owners passes all day Saturday. Didnt cash anything major but we won enough to keep playing. Saw some old Irish pals for the first time in forever, who were traveling with a group of probably 50. The amount of private planes coming and going the whole day was impressive. Burgoo was solid as ever.
- A lot of horses were visibly bothered by the wind, especially on the dirt track. That was pretty eerie at times. As bad as it was- i cant believe it never stormed- never even felt a drop.
-Kudos to Keeneland for the traffic organization on exiting. We went out the back of the farm to old frankfurt pike without ever stopping.
-No Kudos for the amount of weirdo influencer-type people there. We had to wait to walk up a flight of stairs at one point bc some ******* was taking pics of his gal as she emerged around the corner and walked down the clubhouse steps. There was a heavy presence of shitbags on the grounds.
- Another one in the W column for Merrick. Grouper fingers, porkchop, finished off my wife's steak after she took her standard 3 bites.
- We've travelled a lot this year- but we've reached the point where the baby is old enough that being in the car or a long plane ride just isnt fair to her. We will have to get back at some point over xmas, but aside from that we need to tone it down a lot. Couple hours in the car is the max for the foreseeable future.
- we werent in our seats much at all during the races, but when we did go up there we were next to an old fraternity brother of mine and his father- who was watching the UK game on his phone. I wish I had his reaction to the botched punt play on film. His extremely loud cursing, turning to confusion, back to cursing, and then some sort of relief, all in a matter of 15 seconds. The people who had no vested interest around us were completely confused. I was following on the ESPN app, which is dogshit, and the written description of that play was hysterical.
