Post Position draw

[cindyloujazz]

I know they are drawing post positions on Saturday, the 27th. Will they televise this? I know I can see the results of the draw but I really enjoy watching it as it's happening.
Thanks in advance.

It may be LIVE online...
if so, we'll have it here.
Good to see you Cindy!

[cindyloujazz]

Thank you,,Dell! I hope all is well with you.

I know the draw will be held next Saturday but I think there may be plans to do something in the new paddock even to kick off opening night. Stay tuned….

I was counting on riding Sierra all the way to the winners circle. I know he can still win it but the odds are somewhat longer now.

I thought that the 2 post wouldn't be bad for Sierra Leone given that he's closed from way back in all of his wins.  Granted, he'll be way back-er here in a 20 horse field but he can save all the ground on the first turn. As usual it will be an "interesting" race for position going into the first turn.

[thebobtailnag]

That 20-horse field is the concern but I remember how Mine That Bird won his race and maybe Brad might remember it too. Maybe I should send him a text.

Saddle Cloth #3 perfectly compliments our distinctive blaze.

We're ready.

In the OLD gates.  The new one has no sides and that historical needs to be re-visited again. 

The room in the newer gates is a bit narrower as well.  Some bigger horses like Encino may not love that.  Who else is really big/wide?

I know that feeling I get when I'm in the "MRI tube" so I have to wear a blindfold or I can't do that procedure.

With that wingspan SL has, I dont even think he will need to save too much ground to first turn.  He can easily pass tiring horses the way he gobbles up ground just when they are getting shakey knees.     

IMHO, he has the "best pedigree" for this race, but that doesn't always matter. 

If he does well then it's an added accolade " and he did it from Post 2".

Just in case you hadn't read this Dell. Good backstory.
