I honestly haven't a clue...I came across her in a Google images search and said
"well hey now, this is my kind of girl".

She is a great avatar.

Nafzger narrows options for Street Sense’s final prep

by Jeff Lowe
...
Nafzger said Street Sense would not race before the last weekend of September, eliminating the Massachusetts Handicap at Suffolk Downs and Super Derby presented by Youbet.com (G2) at Louisiana Downs as possibilities. Both those races will be run on September 22.

“It will be on September 29 or 30,” Nafzger said on Thursday morning after conferring with owner-breeder James Tafel.

Bummer for Suffolk Downs but that could mean the JCGC instead

Too bad the boost that Suffolk would have received from the champ racing there would be just what they need. Maybe they'll move the date of the race.

And maybe the Breeders Cup will be only one magical afternoon like it has been in the past and in my dreams I see different colored saddle cloths to identify the contestants......no wait it's a BC Trakus device I see now during a nap where the little chicklets still project in BC purple but you can actually tell which damn horse is leading the race........radical I know, but perhaps in a perfect world.

Stinks but oh well we all knew it was longshot anyway. I will still be a the MassCap regardless who shows up. So we'll all have to figure something out on where to meet and such. Oh by the way any first timers to Suffolk or the boston area, IMHO the best hot dogs in the city are at Suffolk Downs, handsdown.

Seems to me they are pointing to the race on the poly but leaving open the possibility of the JCGC in case there are a few defections and it comes up light giving them an easy opportunity to pad the HOY resume.
