Yes she is with me all week. I think her first LBJ day was Million Dollar Cam in 2001. We have 8 seats. 4 are locked away for my wife and I, and my older brother and sister in law. The other 4 get split up amongst other family and friends throughout the week. Thank you for the kind words about my Dad. We still have 2 more days of our beach vacation to go as well.

I will be there, if my foot is better after dr on monday. The jug has always been my favorite day of racing, been to many in person.

You're welcome. I love hearing that she enjoys it with you.
I don't always see couples enjoying the races together, maybe its just the tracks or Off Track locations i attend.
Enjoy the rest of your vacation, both of you.

I go every year! Win or lose we drink the booze!
-
Monday and Thursday for me this year! Counting down the days like a teenager waiting for a Cedar Point trip!
-
Have a great time, all of you attending this year.
-
I will BE THERE!

I will be there Monday - Thursday sitting near Barn 30

No Miki And Minnie.

That's because she's running at Red Mile on Sunday in the KYSS Finals for $400,000.

Exactly, the state sire stakes are ruining the Grand Circuit.

Racing starts tomorrow Sunday. Programs available on LBJ site
Only 20 races WTF! Check out race 2. 3 horse race...but look at those horses!

Best advice for Delaware , and I've been there a time or two, is get out in front of the handicapping.
Especially if you are attending and socializing/partying, they will get you on the run with so many races
each day. Looks like it's gonna be nice and toasty. Get the paramedics ready. They'll be scraping some
old dudes off the deck.
-
love it
heat/sun stroke is very likely for some
-
I'll never go with roger Houston and settlemoir there. it reminds of the Syracuse mile. at least Wendy while be there did, I wonder if she rode at Syracuse, I know she was at Vernon?

Very sound advice. I always handicap most of the next days races the night before and then finish up the following morning. 20 races is alot to go through even for us diehards ;D. There will be lots of heat casualties young and old, men and women. Stay hydrated. I don't mind the heat. I've sat in that Grandstand with a winter coat and a tobaggan on many times.
-
Just a bit of advice to all the bettors out there. Every race today at the LBJ is a trot.. There will be a shit ton of breaking going on. The banking of the track is what makes it so fast. TV does not do it justice how much banking there is, and alot of trotters struggle with it.. Try and find horses with alot of experience racing on a half. Furthermore, look for driver changes. Alot of these horses have been racing at the fairs with B drivers, then they come to Delaware and get a Scioto regular ie Miller or Page. Its a great betting angle. Good luck to everyone!!
-
good advice JT. I typically don't bet that "track" as the payouts are bad but perhaps with some favorites breaking it could be better. With the banked turns I assume the 1 post still a huge advantage there?

Actually you would think the 1 would have a huge advantage.. but it doesn't. In the program pages it lists Win, place and show percentage by post going back to 1992.
Here is the win percentage..
1 18.4%
2 17.0%
3 15.1%
4 16.1%
5 15.0%
6 8.8%
7 6.8%
8 5.6%
9 7.8%
Place and show percentages similar as well

THURSDAY FOR ME

Ozempic should have a stand right beside the concessions.

the eliminations for the jug prince hal. and lou in the same race16
Interesting. Bummer they eliminated the 3rd heat because with those two being in the same division, that would have been a real possibility. Also interesting that the other 2 good Burke horses, Swingtown and Rick Wink are in the OBC in race 4 which goes for $116,000. I am not much of a clock watcher, but that race could go faster then the jug ala Falcon Seelster, Nihalator in 1985.

Thanks Pap!! We had a few decent beach days but more bad then good. Unfortunately mother nature can be quite fickle. We still had a great time though.. it beats working. I always buy a program on site rather then looking on my phone.

Program pages for anyone that want them are a few posts up. It is a beautiful day and it's a great day. It's always cool when the big boy drivers show up on Wednesday.

Went to the Jug in '75 and '76. 50 years ago!
-
these guys are horrible you cant listen to them
-
gabe prewitt is there have him call the races
-
did Roger choke on a corn dog?

Settlemoir is too much of a homer for anything or anyone from Ohio because that's where he's from. As an announcer your job is to be objective, he is anything but objective, he sucks, plus he's turning into another screamer.

I agree awful job announcing
-
plug your ears if you're there everybody else hit mute
-
Was there a good crowd on hand?
-

Too many verbal crutches - says the same thing at the same time during every race. Missed calling times - didn’t know the 2nd division went a half in 53 until he called the 3/4’s
Should have asked Ken Middleton to come down for two days
-
Decent crowd, nothing like the glory years though, Settlemoir sucks, I can't believe he called the elims and final
-
I’ve been watching all week on mute.
It’s been great
-
why isn't it broadcasted on ESPN? or any major channel for that matter?
burke and Aaron are the industries golden boys. sell them. advertise. they don't because they can't. if they could they would.
-
Been there MANY MANY times and just judging by the different camera angles from grandstand to backside
to surrounding fences, I'd day even less than 30,000 there, though they will announce more that will include
fair goers.
-
It would be nice if the program changes were sent to TVG. Beneficial for those of us who play online.

espn? seriously. the interest nationally is next to nothing. Nobody would watch. And betting is pitiful as well...way too many favorites for real handicappers to bet into.

Wendy Ross can't shut up & keeps interrupting. She ruins the broadcast & is awful at interviewing too.

Worse than the International Trot. Shameful "racing".

Rural thinks she looks good. Maybe she can be his sugar baby.
-
Other than for the winning owners it was very hard to watch. Typical 1/2 mile racing. Only thing I liked about it was 2 heats.
