Yes, it's going to be a wet and sloppy "Thurby" out at Churchill Downs this Thursday. I don't know at this time what will remain on the turf in the Late Pick 4 sequence (Races 9 and 10 are scheduled for the grass) and who will scratch, but I will endeavor to jump back in here with updates, so be sure to check back.
A challenging Late Pick 4 sequence with two stakes races (The Opening Verse and Unbridled Sidney) a good allowance affair and a Maiden race to close out the day's activities.
Happy Thurby to you ! This used to be a "can't miss" day for me out at the track. With the weather and my bum knee, though, I'll be watching on-line and trying not to fall asleep in my recliner.
Someday, I may write a book about my "Thursdays leading into Fridays" experiences at Churchill with Tommy Boy, Vince and the boys from St. Louis, Brother Ron, walking the facilities with John Asher looking for my cell-phone, "The Post" on Longfield Ave, singing with the band at 1 a.m., drunk tellers, interesting rides home as the sun was coming up and the celebrities/people I've run into.
Memorable, ridiculous, blurry, downright scandalous and unbelievable...all in a 18-hour period. There might have been beverages involved...
Here we go...
