Fare Thee Well

No Triple Crown for this duo. Last Saturday the fans of I'll Have Another, Mario Gutierrez and Team O'Neill had one more chance to see them together. On Sunday I'll Have Another went into quarantine before jetting off to Japan for his next service to the horse racing world.  

When the duo won the Santa Anita Derby in April, everyone was invited to the Turf Club for a party. There was a DJ, girls in short skirts, guys looking to pick up girls, lots of drinks and many cheers for the winners. I was sitting in an alcove sharing a table with an older couple who were clearly members of the club. Upon realizing that the general public had been invited up to the Chandelier Room to celebrate, the horrified woman said 'We are leaving" And off they went. 

I hope to see Mario again at Santa Anita. Up in The Turf Club.
