Less than five days away

Back after a hectic few weeks for an even more hectic week. The field is about set, and starting Wednesday, this blog will once again be flooded with updates.. Hope you folks planning on joining the 120,000 or so of us in Elmont on Saturday didn't get sodomized for tickets, because general admission works just fine, believe me. I'll be darting all around the track during the day, hanging out with good friend and At the Races host Steve Byk and a few other buddies, likely arriving soon after the gates open (8:30 a.m.). Should be a fun afternoon, and though this, of course, can rapidly change, the weather looks promising. Will be back on Wednesday when the Saturday card is drawn for a rundown of the Stakes, then Thursday and Friday will be spent perusing the undercard. Saturday's the big day. Be back shortly.
