Jug Day

[jordanjacob]

I was there for the Jugette and the crowd was amazing

[Dolfan]

I was there both days.  It seemed allot more crowded than last year.  Anyway, the racing was excellent - I still love watching the 1/2 mile track and the food was deep fried!  Cashed a few tickets, only bet a few races.

Got to meet Gary & Jordanjacob, which was great, although we were hoping for a winner's circle photo.  Also got in a short visit with The Giss, who speaks my language.

A good time was had by most!

Great seeing you and thank you for the compliment (I think it is a compliment )
By the way, fried bologna with grilled onions and melted pepper jack cheese should be its own food group. Only thing missing was a couple strips of bacon.

[Just Saying]

I got to meet The Giss. We talked iguanas, donuts, and stogies. Saw Uppity Filly, Overdover, Bettor, Beans & Weenies, Big Shooter, BB(Mr Overdover) to name a few. Introduced our fearless leader to a fellow he wanted to buy horses from, only to have 'you know who' start bitchin' at the guy that he was an idiot for not racing heats on a half. Boy, that's good for business. I had to explain that his only purpose was as a life support system for Little Luther D.

The topper was when Trackman Extraordinaire told me that Ron Gurfein once said, "I'm the greatest Jewish horse trainer since Ben-Hur!"

As always, my Bride and I had a great time at The Jug with some mighty fine folks.

Yes, of course a compliment!

This fried bologna stuff doesn't sound too kosher to me... Does your wife know about this?

I "forced" my daughter to try a deep-fried strawberry shortcake.  Doesn't get any worse - or better - than that!

Just Saying, I heard that you were there, sorry we didn't get to meet.  What does Jackie Mo say about being the world's greatest Jewish driver?

Would have loved to met you too. I always look forward to meeting new friends. Didn't know Jackie Mo was Jewish, but wouldn't have made any difference. I like the Constitution's approach: Believe in whatever you want, or nothing at all. I'm in no position to judge anyone else, and I'm sure nobody would pick me to be the Poster Child for their religion.

I did get a chuckle out of Gurfein's line. Maybe we'll get to meet at the next Jug. (hope the Jug Society makes some changes by then)

I didn't bitch at Tony or infer that he was an idiot. Tony is obviously a great guy and a great trainer.

I think we were talking to Donna about heat racing. The owners who decided not to race at Delaware are the people that I was at odds at. I know minority owner Joe Sbrocco wanted to race him in the Jug, but he said one of the majority owners was the one who made the decision.

As far as selling horses, I really don't care all that much about it at this point. My ass is still hurting from June, July, and August.

Gary,
I owe you an apology. You were on a rant about heat racing ( I stocked the flames when I suggested going back to the REAL old days and make it a best of 7 heats or two consecutive wins in a day) when I introduced you. I immediately left because you guys wanted to talk business that wasn't MY business.

I assumed the conversation continued on that tack after I left. There's a very good reason the word assume starts with ASS. I obviously was talking about something I never heard, which is stupid on my part. I sincerely apologize. JS

Huh? I don't even remember what it was that you said that should offend me enough to apologize.

JS.............. If we all apologized for what we said Jug Day it would be neverending.     What is said Jug Day is forgotten the next day.  It's an unwritten law in Delaware Ohio.
