Barb C 80th Birthday Bash - Woodbine May 10
 

It's Official - Barb C will be turning 80 this year http://www.paceadvantage.com/forum/i...smilies/43.gif

It's my pleasure to invite anyone and everyone who might be in the vicinity of Woodbine Racetrack on Saturday May 10 to join us in the Champions Lounge for the afternoon. Join us at our tables or drop by and say hello. Either way, Mum wants to share the day with as many of you as possible. There are rumours of cake ... ;)

Woodbine opening is this Saturday April 10, always a harbinger of Spring in this part of the world, and this year more welcomed than ever! Our annual birthday party for Mum at Woodbine is the other sign of Spring!

cheers,

Ted

I will
 

Barb
I would love to be there at woodbine but I will have to be there in your heart.
I will be watching Woodbine closely on your big day on the 10th

Mom and dad are here in San Diego and they wish you a happy birthday

Bill

Bill, If I were your Mom and Dad, I would never leave. Happy 80th Birthday to Mrs. C.

She raised a fine son for sure.

Jim

Happy birthday Ms. C & happy 80 years young.

I'd play 8 in the 8th and sit in the 8th seat on the 8th row. Good thing I'm not superstitious. :8:

Happy Birthday Barb,

Hope you smoke all the handicappers that show up for your birthday. Good handicapping.

Bill

As the beards in West Monroe, Louisana say, " Happy, Happy, Happy" Birthday to you.

I wish you all the best and espically on your birthday. Have a great one in case I forget when the B-Day comes along!

Bud

Octogenarian?
 

Trust the transition from Septuagenarian was uneventful, am sure the cake helped.

Though it's still in my future, it does concerns me. It's not my intention to burden you with any additional obligations, I am aware that the requirements of being a full-time functioning Octogenarian can be burdensome, though I, we, will be looking forward to guidance from you when our time comes.

Until then, happy Birthday and here's to an eventful year.

Regards,
chris

Birthday Wishes Barb!
 

Happy Birthday Barb Craven.
Hope this finds you well and healthy and at Woodbine May 10, 2014 is really a blast and many wins. Though, remember, don't leave home without your wi-fi and beware of pickpockets!

God Bless you and Take Care,

DSL

Thank you all
 

I want to thank you all for your wishes for my 80th. I hadn't thought to look here though. My birthday isn't until the 8th of May, so technically I'm still a septuagenarian. I shall do my best at Woodbine, but even though it should be my track, I don't do very well at it. There are going to be a variety of people there so I don't know how much actually betting will take place. I will be thinking of you all and wishing you could all be there to share it with me.

Just a little aside note. I'm not the only one celebrating a milestone this year. Ted will be hitting 60 the end off July.

Happy 80th Birthday today Mum! You made it, mostly intact :) Thank you for being my mother, it wouldn't have been the same without you!

Looking forward to the Birthday bash this Saturday at Woodbine - hope the weather holds ...

I wish you continued good health, good friends and great moments to cherish like your celebration, Saturday at Woodbine.

Take Care.....

lone speed....:)

Thanks again one and all, it really warms my heart to have so many people thinking of me. I had a wonderful day yesterday, doing what I wanted to do just driving around with my camera taking pictures mostly of horses. And got back home to friends wishes and phone calls from a family and friends and all the wishes on here. It truly was a wonderful day.

Special Presentation Race!
 

Don't tell Mum (it's supposed to be a surprise - well, until after she reads this ...)

Woodbine Race 9 tomorrow (May 10) is designated the 'Happy 80th Birthday Barb Craven' race at Woodbine and will feature Barb, me and other of our family and friends (possibly including some P&C members) in the Winner's Circle presenting an award to the winning connections! Plus the Jumbotron, name in the Program - the full catastrophe (couldn't book the Royal Carriage)!

Set your video recorders to 'ON' and let's see if that race is playable (Allowance $75K 4YO+, 5 betting interests).

Wish us luck!

Ted

I'll be watching that race. Barb, get some good pictures. I sent you little OP souvenir with a Bday card about a week ago. I forgot to tell you it was in the mail. Anyway Happy birthday.
Hugs,
Pat

Happy birthday super mom!!!!!!!!

ignacio

Happy Birthday Barb


I will be at Woodbine and I will be there cheering you on.


We will see some winners too I hope just kidding:D

Lawrence

Birthday and mothers day wishes
 

Happy birthday and mothers day to you Barb
And you should be very proud of your son.


All you need is Love

Thanks to you Lawrence, Ignacio and Turfcraft and Pat, my very special friend. I wish you all could be with me today. Lawrence, you I will see. It will be a pleasure to finally meet you. If you can watch the race as Ted says above, we will wave at you.
This surprise Ted has planned is not entirely a surprise to me. He did this same thing for my 75th birthday and has been saying all this year that this is a very special milestone. I marvel at his thoughtfulness and generosity. No mother could be as proud as I am, not only for this, but for everything he does. Ted, I love you very much.

Happy Birthday
 

Barb,Happy Birthday to one of the sweetest ladies it has been my pleasure to work with and to share memories with. Theta and I are proud to call you our friend.
May the good Lord bless you with many more years of happiness and good health.
All our love,
Theta & Dick

Barb, Happy Birthday! Wish you many more to come!!

Have fun at the races!!!

Mike

Enjoy your Special Day
Happy Happy Birthday
and
Happy Mother's Day tooooo

Thanks once again for all your wishes.



Here's the race. It was scratched down to 4 horses. You can see us right at the end., but don't blink or you'll miss it. We're the ones holding the blanket, Ted on one end and me on the other. The rest of the group are standing in between us.
It was fun to meet Lawrence (dlivery) and see Mike and his lovely wife Eleanor again. My daughter Deb had never been down there before, and by some mysterious way of her own using signs and portents, ended up the biggest winner of the day.
I did manage to get the winner of our race, but she and I were the only ones who bet on him, and it was just because of the race. At 8/5 I was only up 1.50. Fun was had by all. More pictures to come when I get them off the camera.
