I didn't see the race, but while Paul Allen (track announcer) may not have mentioned the Pool Party, I know that the official Canterbury Blog has a post on it on the website and the marketing e-mails that went out this past week featured it prominently.Theodore L.

Was hard enough to handicap as it was, but taking it off the turf made this a complete freak show. <br />I don't know about others, but I didn't realize it was off until the post parade, mainly because the live stream showed the turf as "yielding", which is simply misleading if you close the course.malcerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02913127739083446726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-625976851717008802.post-58917142852653593392009-05-24T11:18:31.771-05:002009-05-24T11:18:31.771-05:00I, like all Canadians were shut out from the race....I, like all Canadians were shut out from the race. We make up at least 20% of the HANA members. <br />I was disappointed by the results, and I have no idea how many American HANA members were shut out as well.<br />I was also disappointed that HANA received no mention from the announcer at Canterbury. <br />All the way around, it was very unimpressive.<br />We will dust ourselves off and move forward though.Cangamblehttp://www.cangamble.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
