TR – 11 calendar months gone by & 1 calendar month to go! The countdown is on & the excitement is in the air & is evident in the DigitalDowns forum by players abroad. Players heading to Louisville, Kentucky are from Australia, California, Connecticut, Kentucky, New York, North Carolina, South Carolina, Ohio & Texas. Excitement will be even more prominent when Administration & family members & DigitalDowns members, some also with family & guest meet at Churchill Downs to take in a day of events at the races.

What a day that will be when players of DigitalDowns meet. Some previous individuals reacquainting with a hand shake & maybe even a hug, to some acquainting with the group themselves for the first time with a warm hearted hand shake.  

Members of the DigitalDowns simulated horse racing game will meet face to face at the Churchill Downs track to take in the day’s events. The Events of excitement of watching Real Live racing of four legged beasts & jockeys competing for Victory.

From playing the slot machines to relaxing in the lounge with discussions of the day’s activities with even a possibility of discussions of the DigiitalDowns game itself. From meeting jockeys to even posing for a picture with a jockey or two or more to walking among the beautiful scented blooming flowers or visiting the museum or taking in other activities. The day of activities among the DigitalDowns group will be one that will be cherished for a lifetime, a lifetime of cherished Memory.

So, how did such a meet at Churchill Downs of Administration & players at DigitalDowns come about? Long… story… just kidding!

The annual meet at Churchill Downs was Founded by Pat of Donovan Stables with the First meet taking place in 2008. To arrange such a function requires time & effort. For the past three meets, Donovan Stables has graciously devoted his time & effort to seeing that all the required is met for this joint occasion for Administration, family, friend, guest & DigitalDowns.us game players.   

Pat makes all of the arrangements for the suite at Churchill Downs to making sure that attending members have funds in their stable accounts for the shared payment among attendees for the suite.
