Tip of the Hat to Bobby Flay, TG, and ....

[shanahan]

My company sponsored the Taste of Belmont partially tonight with champagne Piper Heidsieck , Cointreau cocktails, etc...at Bar Americain.

bobby gave a terrific endorsement of the industry and the responsibility for all owners/industry to provide for retired TBs.  My wife and I left without peeking into the gift bag, and we arrived home found the Belmont sheets, courtesy of TG.

From professional side, nice touch and great branding to the right crowd.
From a personal side, my wife now wants to understand how to read them.
Who wins? Me.

For those of you interested in auction items, someone stole a season to Animal Kingdom for $45K, Ghostzapper for $23k.

Allan, was t you who won the Tuscan Estate vacation?

Shanny, nice! Good cause, and great that the Mrs had a good time. I\'m sure Bobby Flay throws a solid party. Hope to see you and the usual suspects Jim Dandy Saturday.

Yes, near Radda and Gaiole in Chianti, 20 miles or so from Siena. Beautiful. Good memory. See you in Saratoga.
