No need to worry Don, and no need to kiss any pigs. You might want to kiss Emma anyway, I have heard that she's quite adorable. We got through Henri without losing power even though we had lots and lots of rain in the process.
This weekend's venue is a no brainer for me [some would say that's what I do best]. The Travers card at Saratoga should be most enjoyable. I just wish I were going. Some of the fields might be a bit small - early announcements for the Ballston Spa and the Allen Jerkens suggest that - but the day will bring a lot of the stars out. Essential Quality will lead the Travers field but may face a stiff challenge from Dynamic One; Letruska and Swiss Skydiver in the Personal Ensign; the old pro Whitmore and Lexitonian will duke it out again in the Forego; Channel Maker should run in the Sword Dancer and Gamine ships east for the Ballerina. I'll wait until entries are drawn on Wednesday to make the post official.
