A formidable contingent of\u00a0 <\/SPAN>DelPenn trained horses entered into Saturday\u2019s 8th<\/SUP> Annual Simulated Sports Breeders Bowl arrived safely into Kentucky<\/st1:place><\/st1:State> early this morning on a Tex Sutton Transport charter.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>They arrived in Louisville<\/st1:place><\/st1:City> without incident.<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

It was however quite the scene earlier this morning up at Delaware Downs just before daylight.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Arriving at the Trainer\u2019s entrance I saw several of the Delaware<\/st1:place><\/st1:State> trainers at the gate.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>They were having a protest.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Well, as best as they could protest anyway.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>They were sitting in lawn chairs at the gate holding up posters that said \u201cUnfair\u201d and \u201cBoycott\u201d.<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

It was dejavu all over again to the great protest of the 2002 Equinics. Not that it was really a protest back then, just a stance on principle or something to that effect. Geezz, I wondered what the heck are they protesting now about?<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

Out of the corner of my eye I caught several of the misfits and malcontents taking slugs off a 1.75 liter of Crown Royal.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>I glanced at my watch and it was only 6:30am<\/st1:time> with the \u201cFall Back\u201d of time.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>I thought to myself, do these guys ever give the bottle a rest?<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

One thing that was noticeably missing was the trainers that would actually be sending horses to the Breeders Bowl.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>I could see that Rev was getting anxious about this whole scene being played out on the hallowed ground of Delaware Downs.<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

Well, sure enough about 5 minutes later, SDMF comes roaring up in this 78\u2019 Trans Am with speakers blaring to some Rock and Roll music.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>I thought good god it\u2019s only 6:45am<\/st1:time>!\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Out steps this buff dude in a tank top flashing his muscles for all his fans.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Well fans might be an over exaggeration, it was just the toothless night security guard on the backstretch.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She\u2019s certainly quite a looker if you know what I mean? J<\/SPAN><\/SPAN>\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She was shouting \u201cI love you SDMF!\u201d I even think she threw him her panties or something to that effect?<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

Next I see a brand new Escalade rolling slowly up the entrance driveway; the whole vehicle was thumping to \u201cRidin Dirty\u201d. Out popped AFC who looked fairly tired after doing what I was told 60 surgeries the past week.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>His step was a little slower this year with the Super contingent string of horses and the possible exclusion of Devil\u2019s Slide from the F\/M Turf Distaff.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>AFC waved at his fans, they waved back\u2026.some joker was talking to him about the \u201cKashmir Hex\u201d, whatever that is?<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

Out of the passenger\u2019s seat of the Escalade came Whirlwind, he was finishing off a blunt to get his day started.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Whirlwind shouted \u201cMan, we rollin on 20\u2019s up in this joint, ya hear?\u201d\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Whirlwind is the engineer behind Super, since he does the entries about 90-95% of the time, so I\u2019m told.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He\u2019s the one responsible for the nice Super claims you see from week to week out there in Simland!\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Whirlwind is a pedigree guru in real life, so give him a shout if you ever have any questions or want his thoughts.<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

Next to arrive was Jakematt of the \u201cBarb\u201d horse\u2019s fame.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Barb is a stunning looker if you\u2019ve ever seen her, so she gets a lot of horse\u2019s names after her in Simland.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Jack has some powerful horses residing in his barns.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He\u2019s known to throw a few claim bones out there from time to time, so be on the lookout.<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

I was curious to where Topicount was?\u00a0 <\/SPAN>I was told that she lived in Louisville<\/st1:place><\/st1:City> and preparing all the arrangements for dinners\/parties for the upcoming week.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Somehow, she\u2019s trusted these guys to get her horses to Louisville<\/st1:place><\/st1:City>?\u00a0 <\/SPAN>I was wondering to myself, she trusts these clowns?<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

Next up, a huge stretch limo slowly worked its way up to the entrance, this was some fancy stuff going on.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>They even rolled out a red carpet; well at Delpenn it\u2019s called indoor\/outdoor carpeting.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>As the limo came to a halt, 2 security guys emerged from the limo to give the \u201call clear\u201d.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Fats stepped out of the limo and waved to his adoring throng of fans; although it\u2019s rumored some might be minors?\u00a0 <\/SPAN>AFC and Whirlwind immediately went up to Fats to shake his hand.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>I could overhear them offering their condolences of the recent passing of some family members.<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

Last, but not least, Theavenger rolled up in his pickup.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Theavenger had a hard night of drinking and quite a long drive in from Oklahoma<\/st1:place><\/st1:State>, but looked none the wearier.\u00a0\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Theavenger, not to be confused with the pseudonym Topavenger, who someone was using on the Delpenn board, is a true scholarly and gentlemen. One of the funniest men to ever play the SIM, he\u2019ll keep you amused and entertained, along with educated about worldly things.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Theavenger has his 1st<\/SUP> Breeders Bowl starter in Kevorkian Avenger.<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

Stretch as customary, was decked out as he usually is in his cowboy boots, blue jeans, bomber jacket, sunglasses, along with his 10X Silver Belly Beaver felt cowboy hat.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Stretch, told the crew he had bigger fish to fry in Queensland<\/st1:place><\/st1:State> this week, so he wouldn\u2019t be making the journey to Kentucky<\/st1:place><\/st1:State>, but he wished the group well and gave Theavenger a good luck charm.<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

Knightmare, Absolut, Raider, Morrissey, Manowar, Winterheart, Husker and the rest of the crew gave them handshakes and hugs as the motley crew assemble for their adventure in Kentucky<\/st1:place><\/st1:State>.<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

Revelation and Techranger lead them in prayer prior to their departure.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Good Lord knows they\u2019ll need it; hopefully they won\u2019t get thrown in jail this week in Louisville<\/st1:place><\/st1:City>.<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>
