The legend of Norman Asbjornson

continues.....

My Sweet Yucky/Norman box looking stronger than evah

All of a sudden I have a craving for some beer and nachos

Asbjornson is being pointed to the Preakness,so thats why he is on he list

Stormin Normin... Look at his worktab a throwback to the 1930's

how have late nom's done historically? anyone know?

Apparently 2010 wasn't terribly productive although Yuwanna Twist was 3rd in the Preakness: http://www.horse-races.net/library/tc10-latenoms.htm but 2009's noms list was more so (give or take a hoof problem): http://www.horse-races.net/library/tc09-latenoms.htm Summer Bird, Quality Road, and Musket Man were 3 of the horses on it. (Feisty Suances was one of the latecomers, too. Do we know how he's doing right now after being vanned off recently? If someone said, I apologize, I missed it.)

To see more, just adjust the year in the URL link. Eight Belles and Proud Spell were added late the year before. 2005 had General John B in there. Totally jinxed Jon Court. A lot of horses I don't remember show up the farther back I go. Some years it's like a "who's who? No seriously, who is that?" list. I assume some of them had aspirations for the Preakness or Belmont.
