Tom, on my first trip to Toga Mrs. Whitney was having health problems and I couldn't understand why everyone was so concerned whether she would make an appearance at her yearly Ball. She did and it was on the front page Sunday morning. Now I know why.

She isn't the only one doing something like this though, there are many, and others that are planning it, just figuring out the proper channels

Very nice story, thanks.

I worry about our Dee Tee horses.

Huh? I hardly see Steve, Chuck, Gary or the other trainer being the type to not look out for the horse(s) after retirement.

Either do I, when they are under our care.

But I still worry about them. What about when they can't race any longer, can't be bred, are claimed or sold away from us?

Edit: to make it PERFECTLY CLEAR, I am worried about them if ever, someday, they are not in our care!
