Hi All, I won a day at Laurel at an auction and I was going to use it to honor our fearless leader Binder.I can get 25 of us in free with programs and they will have a race in our name.Im going to let Binder decide that one if he wants to call it the Binder purse,Bill V purse,VDC purse his choice.10 of us can go into the winners circle to present the trophy I have 8 already.That's if JeffMud and his kid Kevin come.So we have room for 3 more in the winners circle.I know Richie and Binder come from New York and Jersey so anybody up there that wants to make the trip maybe you could meet.I figure do it on a Saturday and Laurel closes April 15th supposedly.We can do it March 25th,April1[that might be appropriate April fools day] or April 8th.The 15th is the day before Easter so Im not sure if you want to do it that day or not.Anyway let me know because I have to call and set a date.I hope some of you can make it.Shoeless

You are a real class act Jeff.
You let me know whatever the date is and I am there for Bill. He truly is deserving of this nice thing u have done for him.
I can't wait to go :D Maybe this time I will listen to Jeff's son Kevin when he gives me a nice horse to put in the mix lol
I wish Dick and Ted C lived closer so they could make it man I am really looking forward to meeting them one day sooner the better
Two more guys one in Washington and the other in Ohio I really want to meet also
Maybe Bill can bring his lovely lady friend she sounds very cool too
Pino - "Tamuska"
can't wait Jeff. Thanx for your friendship to me. It is greatly appreciated buddy.

Hey Richie,Thanks for the kind words and also I really appreciate yours and Bill's friendship as well.It's the least I could do for Bill knowing all the hard work he puts into keeping this site going.I dont know if Jeff and his son will come or not I havent really heard from him.I guess I will have to call Laurel because it does say dates subject to availability.Jeff
Maybe this time I won't miss the 40-1 shot, like I did at Pimlico. I should have listen to Richie and Jeff then.

Once again Thank You very much

I will try to set it up for April 8 I think the later the date the better chance of nice weather.Bill you started off as VDC so lets go for that but it's still your day.I already had mine 15 years ago at Charles Town.My buddies took me there for my bachelor party and I had a race named after me.Jeff

Jeff,
I've circled April 8 on my calendar and I'll do my UTmost to get there. I've been doing a lot of thinking about my goals for 2006 and getting to spend some face-time with people who have shared so generously with me is one of my top ones. I'm planning on going down to California to attend Guy Wadsworth's funeral and expect to meet a number of fine folks there (just so sad I never got to meet Guy in person). What better counterpoint to that than Laurel in Spring! (And by April, I'm usually fed up with this Canadian winter.)
I was there in 1994 with Doc et al, for the Sunday at the races portion of the Baltimore seminar, but races were not running then.
Can you save me a spot in the winners circle?
Thanks!
yours,
Ted Craven

It sounds great guys, but I just showed the map to my trusty '99 Ford Contour and it's out in the carport raving about:
"Hot Springs? Lone Star? No; The crazy bastard wants me to go to Maryland. Who the hell does he think he is, and what the hell does he think I am? I should just quit right here on the spot and never start again. Damn Fool!!"
I think that means no. It sounds like a great day though. I'll write the final date down on the calendar, browbeat the local racino into carrying Laurel that day and join you by simulcast.

I'd like to make this one but can't for sure say I'll be able to go at this time. Would like to meet some of you guys to put a face to some of the names. I think it will be a good outing.
When you get a firm date hopefully I'll be able to make a committment on it.

Richie,Not as yet actually I have been very tired as of late ,the DR says it is because of the prednisone I was on.Hopefully I will do it tomorrow before I go take care of my Mom.It's tough seeing your parents get old she is 87 now,I know your going through the same thing as well.Jeff
