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.
