Flandreau, SD contest: 4 June CRC card

[dodie]

Alan
  Any chance of getting the Saturday, 4 June Calder card up tonight?  They drew entries yesterday.  I\'m headed to the South Dakota contest tomorrow night, and I\'d like to get an early start handicapping.  The other tracks they\'re using are CD, BEL, AP, and HOL, so I\'d really appreciate any efforts you can make to get their cards up as soon as their drawn.

Anyone else headed to the Gallo brothers\' Royal River OTB at the Santee Sioux Tribe\'s Casino in Flandreau, South Dakota for the contest?

Where is South Dakota?

Where desperate guys like me with alot of time on our hands go to qualify for the NTRA championships.

If it doesn\'t work out I guess you could always ask the Gallos for some of that fine wine!

Good luck to you.

We\'ll try to get the CRC card up asap. Our field rep Bill Spillane will be onsite Saturday.

I\'ll be there if these high winds in Calgary die down long enough for my flight to take off at 6am tomorrow. With the big bonuses being offered, I thought SD might be a soft spot to qualify, relatively speaking, but this past weekend at Stampede someone showed me a drf article which indicated that an exceptionally strong field will be in attendance. With help from my comrades, I was fortunate enough to qualify (& had a blast in the process) at Stampede last weekend, so the hope now is that the handicapping will be okay because pressure is off, so to speak. Part of the fun was being asked to present the trophy & blanket to the winning connections of the Hoofprint on My Heart Stakes on behalf of everyone participating in the contest, so I got a chance to meet & talk with local superjock Quincy Welch, something of a legend in his native Jamaica. Pretty lucky, eh? See, I liked it so much I\'m even starting to talk like a Canuck.

Good Luck Sat.
