Considering the importance of September in the Thoroughbred industry, this is either a great pun, a Freudian slip, or both.

Who knows how talented the horse was--as with most flash-in-the-pans, his connections did him in.

Trying to guess why Betsy used sales instead of my sail is tough, if I would have used the wrong sale you would have known I was just dumb.

When deciphering your posts, it isn't the "sails" I'm worried about...it's the number of "sheets" you've let go of that is important.
