Default Another great Ryan Goldberg story...

Ryan Goldberg with another phenomenal piece detailing story of South African gov't initiative - grooms making ~$350 a month raised and sold for $200,000 - still unbeaten and going for $5 million prize.

Really enjoyed reading that. I'll definitely be rooting him on, and I just imagine them reacting like Goldikova's groom as she was going for the three-peat.

Well gee how nice... kinda like the uplifting and joyful tale of Steven Lo (owner of Military Attack).

Oh don't look for him if Military Attack (who will now run under his wife's name) wins... he's in the big house in Macau (money laundering and corruption).

Sucks when nice horses have shady owners.
