about it. “Man I am so pumped to be coming to my first Gold Cup,”
said
Buckley from his home in Indiana. “You hear so much about the racing
and
festivities that I almost have felt a part of it for years even though
this will be my first trip in person.” Buckley's website is at

clothing line “Tainted” tee-shirts and tank tops. He is also
sending all

throw
into the crowd. Sharrah plans to have around 30 free tee shirts to
throw
out into the crowd. Sharrah's work can be reached through the Internet
