Off Topic- Sweet Willie at Balmoral

Last Sunday I was at Balmoral Park with some people to watch some harness races.

Lo and behold, there was a horse running in the 8th race named Sweet Willie! ^

I had to play the horse, in honor of our FlyerTalk member's handle of Sweet Willie.

He paid $57 and change!!!!!

He's running again tomorrow in the 3rd.

(this is not a tip or recommendation.............just a statement that names matter )

Mmmmm? Gladly for Sweet Willie..............but I must ask..........how did you get into this picture? (and lunch)

Besides, what do stone or marble Gargolyes eat for lunch?

You can see what we eat by reading this trip report. (follow the link there for the full report)

See, Bob, we Gargoyles have good teeth.
