Atto was the name of a sponsor. Apparently that sponsor pulled out.

Yeah, the Euros will obviously be the horses to beat, but I have always liked Diamond Green and have to think that he is capable of better than he has shown thus far this season...I'll take him on his backclass at a price....

Congrats to you and everyone who had Becrux.

Not exactly the way i thought it would play out but nice to see a couple i had given up on (Becrux, Win McCool) win this weekend. Very happy for PVal too...

Great pick. Cheers!
