Can\'t beat the weather. If our horses go back east, you all should come out here for Del Mar, Part 2!

Also heard that Pegram is one of the owners of Los Al. Makes sense if it happens - Los Al is in Orange County, a big market with lots of well-off folks. Short-term, SA & Dmr will both apply for extra dates.
