we just got back from running the boat up the river to make sure all was well for labor day (we had to get a water pump put in) so i just got back to watch her on tape. WOW! yet another fantastic race from her-she hasn't had a bad one this year. two top efforts vs boys, a defeat of the belmont winner to go with the defeat of the derby winner. it would take a miraculous couple of races from any of the other possible HOY candidates to keep her from getting that eclipse at this point. two ticks off the track record in the slop. unreal...

I put myself on the wait list, but it is very doubtful that it is as good as Funny Cide Pride Ice Cream. Best ice cream ever, even if it wasn't named after a horse!

So, are you saying you don't want a bottle of Rachel wine for Christmas this year?

It'll go along with the Kentucky Derby edition Barbie.

It's 300 cases it isn't about money.. 3600 bottles of wine isn't a making money.. let's put it this way 300 cases of Petrus 47 isn't a big deal for Jess money wise so how is 300 cases of his low rent swill mean anything monetarily.. It's funny you guys must all think I love the guy, when in all honesty I basically have opinion eitherway. I just think he is a older sick man playing up 18.. I feel sorry for him in a way.

How true. Let him have his fun, and try and write his way into the memory of the racing history books, however he wants.

It is called basking in the glory. Nothing to do with money, imo.
