Tom and I have been working with NYRA to sponsor a race in memory of our dear friend Larry.
The following dates are currently available and I was looking to get some feedback from possible attendees to see what suits best before I confirm. The package includes trophy presentation in the winner’s circle and photographs. These are the available dates and I look forward to hearing from you
August 10, 11, 12 , 17, 18, 21 , 25 and 28

Great idea.
I would say the 21st or 28th, only because they are Sundays, maybe easier for more of us to attend.
We can see what MaryAnn and the ‘kids’ weigh in with, too.

Thanks , Jeff. Larry’s family has Danielle’s wedding coming up in September so they are busy with that but they said to get a date and they would try and make it .

That would have to be one helluva big hat. I was thinking of T Shirts with Larry’s photo on it.

The middle races have been applied for. Now just waiting for NYRA to confirm the actual race and we will not actually know this until the overnights come out on the prior Thursday . For those planning to attend please note that shorts are not permitted in the winner’s circle for the presentation photo although kilts will be allowed so please dress accordingly. I will have T shirts printed with Larry’s photo (courtesy of Tom ) for anyone wishing to wear them on the day.

What a truly nice thing to do. Anyone would be lucky to have you all as friends. I did not know Mr. Latour, but I'm sure he deserves it to earn such a special place in so many hearts.
