Hello Ted. I shall attempt to attend the 2023 gathering at Saratoga for
Pace n Cap. Wanda and i have fond memories of the Pirco Saratoga meetings. Regretfully, due to her illness, she cannot attend. I will let you
know for certain ,this summer.
Looking forward to seeing you and your Mom in person.
continued success with the work you have done with the Sartin Methodology.
sincerely,
Bob Cochran

Bob, it would be so great to finally meet you after all these years! Hopefully lots of stories about the early days. Please keep me posted on your plans.

At Tom Morley's barn to see Bill's new filly. I was with Lt. Tim who was such a good sport because it had been a long day and we were tired and wanted to get back to the Desmond. Bill never seemed to run out of energy. And Chad Brown who was friendly while Mr. Pletcher was not. I was surprised that Kenny McPeek actually remembered me from a bar in Lexington. I was in the saddling area because of Charlie's credentials. Thank you, Charlie.

Mick - thanks for all these memorable images! Ready to make some new ones

Tim - I just found out my parents are going to be in town this weekend...I'll be there in spirit.

I just purchased our tables and tickets for the 4-Star Dave Sport Bar.

We have tables of 4 (previous tables of 6 were unavailable). So, we have 3 tables accommodating 12 people on Friday and Saturday and 2 tables accommodating 8 people on Sunday. Based on interest expressed so far.

The costs this year are higher than previously:

Friday and Sunday = $108 per table / 4 = $30 each
Saturday (Alabama Stakes day) = $144 / 4 = $40 each.

I'm happy to collect funds from those attending when you get there.

A reminder - if you're planning on joining us and haven't let me know or posted here, sooner than later would be a good time to get in on a table! The above seating covers a bit more than who has signed up so far, but not many additional tables were left on Friday and Saturday.

Ray and I will be there! Save Us two seats.

Unfortunately, I will pass on this year's group meeting at Saratoga as I am heading off to school/college in September for my Broadcast-Radio program (2yr) and around this time, you guys/girls are going, it would be the time I would be packing for school.

Very sorry to Ted and everyone else. I will most definitely try next year!

And if you need any input on the days you are there, I can do a Zoom call or send the group my selections, as I will be covering Saratoga for another year!

Thanks, and best of luck to everyone!
