The late night lobbying session worked! We told you so Mica!

Rich, was it a problem with the horse, the driver, or the extra ballast?

I can’t wait for the video.

Does Patterson have Jim Hendry advising him?

Those results aren’t final.
I understand a motion to reconsider has been filed

Way to go, Mica!

Letting Mica win was the least you could do considering how you’ve been talking about her boss lately, Rich. I won’t even make a comment about the weight advantage she had…

Great entry pick by PQ
She will urge to sign the gaming bill big time

Watched it live from the State Fair Website. Better luck next year Rich. It’s such a shame the overall quality of horse racing at the fair has fallen so far. I have seen many world records live over the years in Springfield. What exists now is just a shell of its’ former glory.

Wow it is GOP day at the fair how exciting
Tom Cross is driving around town with his giant gray elephant
The excitement is nearly debilitating

Placing is not losing. I finished in the money, which makes me happy.
