Saturday, quite a few have come back and run ok but there is one big difference, the ones who caem back and ran ok didnt run a step over there. gesture was beaten a football field there. He didnt expend any energy, neither did the others. You haveto break em down by who actually spent energy there and who didnt. The ones who spend energy, they are the ones who run like brass hat.

Silver Charm was something special.. as was Free House (maybe even more game in the long run)
