And in other news I forgot to post about earlier today - a first time Steve Asmussen filly won a 75K stake at Delta Downs by 19 lengths last Saturday. Her final time was a second and a half faster than the division for the colts.

Back to the sponge, It's a good thing McLaughlin and those connections aren't the shaddiest people in the game - or they could always say they found one in Daaher and he's being retired from the damages caused by it. However, they'd still have to explain his Fort Erie loss.

shaddiest......as in " most shad like? "

I misremembered how to spell it the right way for you.

There are two b's in shabbiest - there should be two d's in shaddiest as far as I'm concerned.
