That is a beautiful picture. Smart move to cancel.
There are few things colder than riding for long periods of time in bitter temps. Out with my pack string in NW Montana I got TOO cold more than once. Now my body's thermostat doesn't work right!
FOR SALE: Used pack outfit (horse not included) :lol: :lol:

Show Me The way
 

I was looking forward to seeing how Show me the way did in race 7

Show Me The Way is the track record holder for 5.5 furlongs at Parx

In its llast race it ran a blistering 102 at Pen but was Dqed for
a positive drug test !!!!!

Today it was going 6 furlongs. I'm thinking it might be over bet as it shows winning wire to wire at a fast time. but will people notice the dq for a positive test?

I wanted to see how Show Me The Way runs clean ?

Race 6 today on a wild day for long shots at Parx
S.M.T.W. wins at $4.40
Peter Frampton fans must have loaded up.

Wow- I've never heard of neurological herpes. Not good.

Bill,

Bet you miss living in the Philly area in the winter....NOT.

Jim

not
 

No I am very happy in San Diego

but I miss Parx so much, I used to really love driving down the New Jersey turnpike then taking exit 6 over the bridge in PA. then onto US 1 and then onto Street road.and going to little white Philadelphia Park.
Its amazing to live in paradise, but I really loved' going to Philly on those chilly winter and early spring mornings. I still get goose bumps when I remember Smarty Jones workout day between the Preakness and Belmont.
Then the so sad walk out the door when I watched Birdstone catch Smarty
in the Belmont, right there at Philly Park (Parx)

All my Philly memories

Bill
