I wouldn't be able to finger Sam Houston on a map if you held a gun to my head! I think it's a city in Texas (???)

Welcome to both of the new guys. Don't worry about your momentary lapse in memory. Contribute what you can, know what you don't know, and glean a brinks truck full of knowledge from some very insightful horse people. There are not too many here as sharp as Paul.

You, on the other hand, are sharp as a marble.

I still haven't figured out why you aren't riding the horses instead of betting on them. I heard they love hobbits....

Hows the baby girl doing... probably not so much a baby anymore

We hope to have about 10-15 more coming over from our now defunct TheCallToPost forum and will be starting up a pretty cool handicapping contest. Some there have been here for awhile.

More to follow and we novices hope to learn a bunch from y'all here. Come join in the contests and teach us stuff and help us hone out skills, really. We'd need a lot of help and will enjoy the challenge but no betting allowed . . . with real $$$ anyway. We are grateful to be here . . . looks like a fun and vibrant site.
