John, Was out to the OTB the next day and of course several people were there talking about it. One of the guys has a grandson that trains horses and he also keeps in contact with a retired jockey. He had some good pictures of the race close up that shows the #7 horse bumping into the #1 horse. What could of happened could of been a disaster if the horse would of fallen. Of course others had their opinion as one guy said why didn’t the stewart’s called the objection and not the jockey. Made for a lot of conversation and still will. A lot of people thought they had a winner until 22 minutes later. I did not have it either way.
Yes he did John. Was at the OTB the other day and a few guys were talking about it and one of them was saying at the beginning real good odds on Tiger not doing it and when he did some people made some good money. I just watch a few races and try to pick a couple winners or a gimmick race. Will not be long till May 4th, Derby Day.
Just noticed here at the local bowling alley they have a sign on the west side parking area and east side also for veteran parking.
Have not been to a hockey game here in Rockford,Ill for awhile but have a team that is a member of the American Hockey League. The team is Rockford Ice Hogs. A couple friends of mine have season tickets and may go with them to a game. Always a good time.
Besides Lowes, Farm and Fleet has a spot for veterans and also one of the Schnucks grocery stores has one.
Ed, Have no problem with your comments. A lot of places all over are now experiencing flooding. Where we live , Rockford Ill., the Rock River is over the banks and surrounding areas are also flooding. West of here in Freeport a man was on the news stating in all his 82 years never seen it this bad.
The last time I purchased something at Lowe’s ,last 6 months, I received 10 per cent off. Couple years ago I was at Lowes looking for a snow blower. They had one listed for $600 with 15 per cent off , when asking about the veteran discount ,which I thought would be in the 15 per cent , I was told that the veteran discount would be added on so I got 25 per cent off. Purchased right then.
Yes as I remember it was Willy Kitts. Also in the area was Linda’s Lounge , Golden Sonne and Kramers. A lot of good times.
