I'm looking forward to it.
What a discussion this is. I have a lot of sympathy with the RO, that's a thankless job.

I have entered the Fairfield Horseshoe Hes which is also a Champ Race this year. Now, I will be near the back (really near) but my entry is in, the cheque won't bounce and I will be fit....so bring it on. My race year is planned around my family so pre-entry really works for me (champs or not)...in our house you've gotta get it on the calendar!
