Thanks Echo. I like the one paragraph about the intense debating
on the bulletin board about his retirement. Finally some real good
news about SYD. Maybe it was our constant forum postings that
got this done, you never know. Maybe us on DT can sponsor him as
a whole. I think it will be great

Might be appropriate, Degenerate Gamblers supporting a horse at a Correctional Facility!!

Debating, I'm surprised they didn't say "bickering". I scan several forums every day, and wouldn't blame them if they did.

I sponsor a couple of horses through TRF, and I visited one of them at the Blackburn correctional facility in Lexington a couple of years ago. Can definitely be done.

I will have to have my mom look into it. If it is the facility I am thinking of, it is right near her house.

Are we all happy now that this guy is going to go to a great new home?

EXTREMELY... relieved if nothing else.

There's one person on here that doesn't exactly heap praise on horses unless he truly thinks they're special that called him "America's best sprinter" in 2003 when discussing the Vanderbilt at Saratoga. That says enough.
