Lad,
My first serious pro writing gig was for the Oneida Daily Dispatch (Oneida, NY).. Part of my Sports coverage included Vernon Downs.. I had the real privledge of getting to see Niatross, who was foaled and wintered in Vernon, up close. I'll tell you flat out that had he been a thoroughbred he'd have been a Citation. Had as regal a presence about him as any horse you'll ever meet. Was simply a SPECTACULAR racehorse..

Didn't niatross jump the pylons and flip into the infield in one of his races???? Did not like the whip that one. Horse was something else though.

I really don't follow standard breds, but I'd just be curious to know if anyone remembers one named Tin Foil?
I only ask this because there are a couple of his at the farm where mine live. One is "Mr President" and the other is "Fig". Seems to me that they are built a lot differently than thoroughbreds. Huge!
