First Post: Friday, July 20, 2012

All right, all right ya patriciansz! We know it’s your favourite day of the racing year, better than the KY Dby, the BCWTC or The Closing Day at The BFH. Here we are, Swampatoga! Put on your straw boater, your Nantucket reds and leave the stockings at home, ya trad preppiesz!

Go mingle with your fellow Lawrentians and Andoverians and Hotchkissians. Cast a knowing sneer at those luckless impostors from Portsmouth Abbey and Delbarton!

Best wishes for a prosperous Spa 2012.
