DBS

[Fairmount1]

What has happened?

The board is going through a period of DBS aka \"Dead Board Syndrome.\"

Richiebee\'s usual entertainment in the winter is noticeably absent.  Hoping he is working on fabulous material.

FrankD has disappeared and hoping he is doing well as after a hot start to 2017 I could use a winner from time to time.

I saw shanahan opening weekend at Oaklawn and met a recent poster last Saturday down there who has had some spot on information.  

My apartment spot for Travers was taken for the three days I wanted to stay on vrbo....who took it from the backyard?  Belmont3 (Bob)?  

Found a new spot, put in my attempt at a reservation and hoping to confirm it tonight.  

Anyone else Saratoga Dreaming during the winter???  Any comment on IWC?  Motion loved him on Byk a while back and it showed today.  Haven\'t ran any numbers but wow!

I was unable to post a \"New Topic\" a while back and haven\'t tried since.  I wonder if others might be having a similar problem.  For a while I thought I might have been banned (and wondered why), but I don\'t seem to have any problem responding to posts by others.

Alan gave out Irish War Cry on the radio this morning, emphasizing the uncertainty about how Classic Empire would perform in his first race back.  My guess is the Classic Empire ran something in the range of his Breeders\' Futurity.

Fairmount,

All is Quiet on the Pa. Front.
Somewhat limited action on the Winter Racing Tour.
Swore off your beloved Oaklawn due to severe case of \'cashless syndrome\'

Playing some AQU, Gulfstream and Parx.

Can eliminate me from your Saratoga suspect list. I am booked for Long Beach Island (Jersey Shore not far from Monmouth Park) for 2 weeks in July and Saratoga dates are a work in progress. The Clifton Park Courtyard Marriot has become my wife\'s favorite. Just opened in 2016, convenient and pretty reasonable compared to in town accomodations.  Have a hometown (Bergenfield NJ) friend who lives 1 mile form the Courtyard and Frank D calls CP home as well.

Have not had any \'brilliant\' ideas recently. Only been calling a few post time audibles when I have the time weekdays to pore over some TG data.

Happy Socks to you!

Bob
