LOL!! Richi I know as well, but I'm not going there either. Made for great press though!!!

Oracle, How is Wonder Lady Ann doing? I know you said she had a breathing problem last time. Did it require surgery? Were they able to fix it?

How about a PM?

Come on Richie and Oracle, I'm dying for the true story. Why does it need to stay secret?

i took the bidding war on the forestry colt to just be more of the feud that started a couple years ago between those two. be interesting to know the rest of the story.
oracle, you have my email...i am very discreet, would like to hear about the deal behind the deal.

Unbridled,
I tried to answer your message but it wouldn't work for some reason. It kept saying that I wasn't loggen in. Anyway, you were right on the money. What you said in the e-mail was correct.

It doesn't, but repeating "rumors" about zillionaires on a website is a very good way to get yourself in hot water. I'm like Col. Klink, I know nothing.

That was funny. Cracking the Da Vinci code is easier to crack than the trail of some of these deals--lol. But like Oracle--I know nothing.

Default Lukas on a roll?

You think Lucas' horses are reading Derby Trail?
Two winners the last two days. Yes, favorites but winners nontheless.

Whittingham said never knock a horse until he is dead
Maybe the same should apply to trainers....

Just a thought...

By the way, i am not a Wayne fan
