Good luck getting your groove back, Stella. I can sympathize. I made my triumphant return to the hobby today after 2.5 years out of the game. I was extremely rusty and just felt awkward. Fortunately, in good ol' Detroit, you don't need any game...

Well, that sucked. Would've come out ahead a moderate amount had Maximum Security not been DQ'ed. Silver lining is a list minute $25 show bet on Country House I made before post time when I noticed he wasn't gonna drop below 60 to 1 got me at least most of my money I lost back. I asked for an race where the favorite didn't win, but this was not at all what I expected or wanted.

@skibum - I was actually driving through Albany a few weekends ago and the thought crossed my mind to take a little detour.

@country - I went to the derby once, and it was miserable getting in and out of there and finding a reasonable place to stay. That said, I live in a city that is 1/5 the size of Louisville, deals with an influx of 110,000+ people on football Saturdays in the fall, and 500,000+ people the 3rd week of every July, and they seem to handle it infinitely better than Louisville does their 160,000+ visitors for derby weekend.

Fc and LS and you'll be in extras heaven, but yeah, Windsor's not worth it.
