The stable had a couple of wins over the holiday weekend. HEY THERE CUPCAKE broke her maiden winning on the day of the Turkey followed up by CHOW WAGON winning on Friday and breaking his maiden as well. Both are home bred Hoosiers. Now that Hoosier has gotten slots, the purses will increase. The first machines should be cranked up by June. AVER a horse Tim James and I claimed for $7500.00 at Keeneland in October won tonight. We have had two thirds and a win since we claimed him.

Churchill had a good meet, really great weather wise. Churchill seems to have a lot of problems with attitude towards the fans. There was a good article in the courier journal by Jenni Reeves on the topic. http://www.courier-journal.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20071127/COLUMNISTS03/711270451/1037/SPORTS08

Jenni Reeves is the racing columnist. Louisville is one of the few papers that still has a reporter that covers just horse racing. Read the article and judge for yourself. I would be interested in your comments.

I want to link you to our oldest daughters web and blog site. She has a lot of photo’s on display and most recently gave some tips on camera purchases for that special person on your Christmas list. www.lizzieloo.com  Click on blog.

FOOTBALL!!!!!!!

More upsets over the holiday weekend. Ohio State is just sitting there in the #3 spot just waiting for one of them to stumble so they can go to New Orleans and play in the championship game. It will take at least another week to ten days to get all the "bowls" lined up. I like how all these college coaches get fired and get million dollar settlements or buyouts. I get fired and I am lucky if I get the last months training bill paid.

I am going to the Army/Navy game this weekend in Baltimore. I have never been and have always thought it would be a neat game to attend. There also happens to be a horse sale on Sunday and Monday in Baltimore, so it fits in well. It is one of the things on my "life list". Another thing on my list is to go to The Masters Golf Tournament next year. If anyone knows a ticket connection, let me know.
