You got a Derby horse yet? I'll probably make a weekend road trip to Oaklawn in a few weeks - cabin fever has me wanting to get out and about. Might make the Arkansas Derby - never been to that track.
And it's a block from the Arlington, which owns it. You get to use the Arlington's pools/hot tub (nice;) for free.....;}
And ask for the least expensive room. Trust me, it's like Pat O'Brians in New Orleans, you think it's expensive but it's really the best deal in town.... shuttles to the track....;}
Sounds like a plan...I haven't decided on which weekend to make my road trip.
They've got 5 west coast jocks in town for the Rebel Stakes this afternoon. I'm keeping my money in my wallet this weekend. Delhomme with Garrett Gomez would be my pick.
Get a corned beef sandwich or try the seafood gumbo!
