Aw. Poor, lonely Jimmy.

But I read somewhere that they've put up a mirror on the wall so he thinks he has a friend.

That is one of the sweetest and most sad things I've heard...

Poor Jimmy.

Believe me, getting a mirror is not all it's cracked up to be.

You've seen JImmys replays, right?

Two very sweet feature stories from the HKJC...

One on the "lowly born" Cirrus who now soars with the eagles...

... and the other on a companion horse...

Sahmai who travels with Sahprasa and who is almost upstaging her (!)...

They're both very short and sweet so if you're so inclined please take a few minutes and check these out.

Okay kids here we go...

Tough break for Rocket Man... horrible draw.

The only lock is Captain Sweet in the race before the big races...
