Just booked my condo today and I'm working on purchasing a box for Apple Blossom Day and Ark Derby day. I havent broke the news to my wife as of now, but I took her to the Super Bowl and I'm taking her to the Ky Derby I shold be able to pull this off. I will let you know which box I get and the section it's in. Looking forward to putting a face with a screen name. I can tell you one thing all this traveling is killing my bankroll. I need a big day this Saturday and two Saturdays from on La. Derby Day. I will post pics of Rachel if I'm able to get into the paddock this week from the FG. I think I can pull it off.

    Btw, Zenyatta is down to +105 in that prop.

    I wish I would of been able to grab that +140. Lady Zen should win that race, there will be pressure on RA from the start. Baffert is sending Freedom Start to the Apple off her win last week at Oaklawn in the Azeri.

    It was never +140. Rachel opened at -140, with Zenyatta @ +110. The highest i've seen on Zenyatta since the prop opened has been +120.

    My bad I wasn't thinking right. I just received a call from the FG and I will be in the same suite as Jess Jackson and his crew. I will let you all know how it goes back here Sunday morning.

    Boxes are listed anywhere from $5k to $10k right now. I have one and am thinking of selling it for that kind of money. The fury will start Saturday night if all goes well.

    If someone pays 5k - 10k for a box at Oaklawn with only one legit race on Friday and maybe two legit races on Saturday they are absolut NUTS. I will pay 2k for a 6 seater and I think I'm nuts for doing that This isn't the BC Races or Derby Week.

    I'm still waiting to hear about a national tv deal. You would expect there to be one, in some form or fashion.
