For those that are actually interested in what goes on in racing, Bret Calhoun was on ATR today and talked about Canigotoo. Pretty funny story as owners Durant and Jordan had visited the late L T Smith's farm to purchase a different horse, and the Widow Smith said she's make the deal if they took the Menhal colt as well. They did, and he thereby earned the name 'Canigotoo'. Owners want to go to Saratoga for the Hopeful, but Calhoun is thinking along more conservative lines. They will pay the $6k though and make him BC eligible.

It is amazing how some of these horses find their way to the races...

Presque Isle Downs was so thankful to Calhoun for sending two horses up for the two 100K stakes this week - that they were going to give him 20% off his dinner.

The clubhouse manager was so embarassed when they told her - that she just went ahead and comped the dinner outright.
