Iroquois steeplechase

What track is it being run at ?

The track doesn't have a name.Its located in a large public park. You can google Iroquois Steeplecase for more info.It is in Nashville,Tn. Where I live.Actually just down the road.

Okay, is it a bit like they have a meet at the State fair in Alberque N.M?

it would not be on our TV, interesting they are bringing over an English horse though. Does it mean there is a good purse or is it just to give the horse experience .

Seems an awful long way to travel though , they must have their reasons .

Yes,150 thousand dollars.Its not a fair,it's high brow as they say. Princess Ann came once.It seems they bring the horses over a week before the race.IM not well informed obviously.

Gee, that would make it worth their while , still Nashville is not a million miles from Lexington is it ?

Will google later to see how he gets on . Are you having a little flutter ?

Just googled , it is run at Percy Warner Park , for the last 70 years or so ?

Reading a little more , seems Molotof is quite fancied .

NO,I'm watching a cooking show.How to make a nicefattening chicken pot pie with two thick crusts! Lexington isn't far.Only went once. The race here is once a year,the only race,that's one reason I worry.The track is used once a year? Seems crazy unsafe.It just dirt! seems like racing in Lexington would be safer and smarter.

70 years? Yikes! That park and Edwin Warner Park next to it have been there forever.It was given to the city by rich brothers. It's wooded hills and old roads they have turn into walking trails and picnic areas.As high school kids it was perfect for driving around and parking,the road allowed cars then.

That sounds yummy Envious , enjoy if you decide to make .

I tell you who i love on your cookery channel , Rachael Ray !her 30 minute meals .

Rachel is good.She has her own daily talk/cooking show.I like quick cooking too.That pot pie was very time consuming.My son is coming to visit for 2 weeks from California,arriving in three hours! Have no idea what to cook.We don't have favorite meals I cook.Sounds like I'm a boring cook [hum] I think its cause I don't cook or prepare foods exactly the same way every time.

You must be beyond excited at the prospect of having you son with you 2weeks .

may i ask what part of CA ,. he is in ?

San Francisco,actually has just taken an apartment in San Rafael,north over the golden gate bridge.Both our birthdates are during the time he is here so we will be celebrating!

Of all the cities , San Fran is my favorite and I m not just saying that .
Next in line is Chicago .

You two have a ^ good ^ celebration together . i am sure he will bring you plenty .

Have a wonderful time with your son*Envious*.

Nonu,dusty angel,thank you.Nonu hope you know not to go during the winter to Chicago! Burrrrrrrr and WINDY!!

cut'n'paste not working properly again; check out the shire horse racing [just thought I'd show you some more of our local customs envious].

Bet those Shire horses don't break their legs!

Think they have genetic heart defects, though, as they are very tall for draft horses. Has the race been run? Our 'American Correspondant' usually gives us an update on our racing forum. She told us about Arcadius last year. Must have been very upsetting for everyone. Timber racing is usually quite safe [or so I believe] as the horses respect the fences.

I have looked in My Rand Mcnally and he is round the area of san pablo & Stinson beach , I think .

We were in Marin County maybe 18months ago to see the civic centre designed by Frank LLoyd Wright .

I only go to Chicago in September , in fact I never go to the States in Winter , too cold x

This horse won't break a leg it will blow up surely

Tell you what, it's a long way down if you fall off ...

They have eight races,one like now then 7 more over in four or so hours.

Can't find a radio link; next one available is the second leg of the triple crown.
