I will see if I can see her this weekend, have a mare at Alamo Pintado right now, the prior hospital we took her to said they couldn't save her, took her to Alamo Pintado and they saved her, she's coming home in 4 days, this is one of the best Hospitals in the Country, I hope Potesta has the same outcome.

he made another bet with dahoss. you'd think he'd learn. he lost, and the 'prize' was whoever lost couldn't post til next year. but we all know how good the rock is at keeping his word. i love irony.

and it figures, that as soon as you mention it, i'd have decided to change it.
