Yeah, somebody's gotta know the deal on that. I assume stuff specifically named after Oak Tree (e.g. the song 'Tie a Yellow Ribbon Round the Ole Oak Tree' is probably responsible for that race) would be the ones they're more likely to have a legal issue with. Even if there wasn't, I can understand not wanting to continue to promote things related to a group you're no longer associated with. It's sad if you have a sense of tradition, but I guess I get it.
I'm pretty sure everybody waits til Steve goes on vacation for stuff to hit the fan. His week is gonna be swamped when he gets back. He may not want to get into all of it, but off the top of my head, besides the usual race results and picks, we've had things like Holy Bull's pensioning, elaboration by Reddam on I'll Have Another, the Asmussen mares, Union Rags injury, the Santa Anita race renaming, the continued shenanigans of the NY Times, the Senate committee hearing, Albarado and the implications of his legal situation, and Caleb's Posse's retirement.
