Having their own cameras at the track, they were able to provide us with full video of the gate crew and track ambulance crew doing a great job of triaging the incident, making the right decisions, and preventing a potential disaster.inthebeginningtherewasacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17263151474570524394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8711985.post-50975546179600078642007-07-29T01:37:00.000-04:002007-07-29T01:37:00.000-04:00Save a little money to go to dinner at Il Fornaio....Save a little money to go to dinner at Il Fornaio.<BR/><BR/>:-)SantaBarbarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17159992968479023593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8711985.post-72432031265062317782007-07-28T08:44:00.000-04:002007-07-28T08:44:00.000-04:00Alan,Great analysis on the Whitney and the other S...Alan,<BR/>Great analysis on the Whitney and the other Saratoga stakes races. I haven't been this excited about the races in quite some time.<BR/><BR/>Forget about Saratoga for awhile. You'll love Del Mar and San Diego. It's literally a paradise out there. It's the only city in America that could lure me away from the Midwest and something that, if the stars are aligned just right, may happen next year.Harlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16515575955224982258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8711985.post-35958304324623097822007-07-28T00:11:00.000-04:002007-07-28T00:11:00.000-04:00alan,i couldn't stop thinking about saratoga as we...alan,<BR/><BR/>i couldn't stop thinking about saratoga as well before my first visit to del mar. but after a few races, heat without humidity, a fish taco, a del margarita and a look at the saratoga simulcast just as one of those oh shit i think the roof of the grandstand just blew off thunderstorms rolled in i got over it.<BR/><BR/>here's a food tip:<BR/>http://www.arterrarestaurant.com/<BR/>it's in the san diego/del mar marriott. sounds fishy i know but it's excellent.<BR/><BR/>have fun.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8711985.post-39895381110058829222007-07-27T23:54:00.000-04:002007-07-27T23:54:00.000-04:00Two stakes winners on the grass for Clement and Ga...<I>Two stakes winners on the grass for Clement and Garrett Gomez...</I><BR/><BR/>That right there is the reason I'm keeping an eye on <B>Meribel</B> in the Diana H. - because if there's one thing I learned living in the SoFla circuit, you don't bet against Clement on the Turf. ^-^<BR/><BR/>If only there was OTB betting on horses in Pima Co., I'd put money on her and <B>My Typhoon</B> and rake in a pretty penny...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11775282065186766299noreply@blogger.com
