A-Coupled: Startup Nation and Takeover Target

At least Wonder Again was VERY good. Of all the male horses that won turf stakes in the past 20 years in NY, Pennine Ridge would be one the least deserving..

I wonder how the decisions are made..

Those are two bang-up races. A lot of good turf 3YOs this year. Glad to see people didn't just duck Lady Eli.
