ALWAYS EXCITING TO SEE THE GREAT ONES EMERGE OVER TIME

NEVER UNDERSTOOD SOME FOLKS DISLIKE OF MAIDENS

There are maidens and then again there are maidens, so you need to clarify which maiden races one is talking about. There is such a difference in the excitement generated by a maiden special weight for 2 year olds at Saratoga, from which an unraced future champion might emerge, and a maiden claimer $15,000 for State breds at, say, Hawthorne, in which the betting favorite has already run 9 times and hit the board 3 or 4. I'd tire of a steady diet of the latter very rapidly.
