Photos!

Here we go folks! Some photos of those who attended and some random crowd pix. Forgive the lateness so far - it's relentless here: races to handicap, then re-handicap off turf with 40% scratches, people who came all this way to spend time with, hear each others' stories, shout over the LOUD noise of announcements and shouting and celebrating horse-players, evening workshops, gathering photos from others, etc, etc. Forgive the lateness ...

So far, end of 2nd day, a wonderful time of it if you ask me. Profitable even!

Missy B, Ray C (HoldAllTickets), Brian Q (AwesomeAgain), Mike O (mowens33), Charlie B (gandalf380)

Unfortunately absent are Jim D (viking57), Mark G and Lauren G (cratman and Mrs cratman). Sadly, Bob Cochrane could not make it due to last minute airline snafus in Chicago, but sent his regards from one of the oldest original Pirco Charter Members.

More photos to follow!

Brian, the pleasure was mutual (and mutuel)! You have a lot o share with serous and aspiring horse players, and I know you'll go far!

I'll post your other pics of your newfound jockey friends as soon as I can!

My best to Ray - what a guy! Safe travels home.

Ted

I had to let know Joel Rosario know that he screwed up my pick 5. He actually had a witty comeback. Great guy and excellent Jockey. Katie Davis on the other hand is an absolute delight. She was so gracious with her time and even conversed with us for a few mins. Now to get a pick with Emma-Jayne. Woodbine next summer.

Last night in Saratoga, and in the USA - heading back home tomorrow! I had dinner with Bert Mayne and his wife Joanne. Bert sends his best regards to all and vows to make more use of RDSS! We had some reminiscences of times past and Doc and people we knew. Great folks.

(For people newer to the Sartin Methodology, Bert was one of the original Charter Member Teachers back in the 80s and now a retired preacher. Many of his articles appear in earlier Follow Up Journals and he organized the Saratoga Seminars in the early days).

Great photos Ted. Bert, Charlie and Missie haven't changed a bit. Lots of new faces.
