It's going to be a miserable opening day and I'm actually debating going to the Tele Theater. However I will come to my senses by 11 or so and head up north I'm sure.
Opening day is an event; a National Holiday of sorts up here and one of the least productive work days of the year. No doubt they will still draw in the vicinity of 20,000 fans despite 97 degrees and excessive humidity.
The new seminar spot is actually one of my old hang out areas but the comfort of the Carolina BBQ patio will be hard to duplicate. The 2nd floor Carousel area actually gets a nice cross breeze through it and Bill the bartender there has been a fixture for 30 plus years in the same spot. No Richie he doesn't serve water but I've had a cold Heineken or 2 at that bar. Its a short trip down the escalator and to the right to get to the brew pub.
I'm not planning on much betting today as your never sure how your horse will handle the excessive heat, more paddock and post parade appearance will be paid attention to. Maggie may be the key to today's wagers?
Good luck as the battle of 40 days and downtown nights begins,
