For the record, I don't see where Oracle deleted posts but I am going to say that this is gone too far. Mike, you should have never even mentioned Arabs and terrorism, a bad move because it is automatic controversy...... |

Track was gooey after heavy rain the previous overnight, officially good but the horses came back pretty plastered with it. Ron sat back in fifth, 5 or 6 back of a quintet who made the early fractions. He moved up around horses on the turn and engaged the remaining leader, Lewis Micheal at the top of the stretch. He put that one away, but Smokeyjonessutton (one of my boxcar winners at Kee last spring) had slipped up the rail and was still running, too. Ron battled him for a bit, but was drawing away at the end. All in all, a good return race, the right sort of test for a horse that is not yet in optimum racing condition. |

(ya now i had to put that in there...)

![]() Stallions by Danzig who have sired group or graded winners:
Chief's Crown, Dayjur, Pine Bluff, Polish Precedent, Polish Patriot, Danehill, Polish Navy, Shaadi, Lure,Green Desert, Anabaa, Lost Soldier, Dumaani, Maroof, Bertolini, Military, Mujahid, Monashee Mountain, Boundary, War Chant, Petit Loup, Brahms, Emperor Jones, Ishiguru, Partner's Hero, Danzig Connection, Eagle Eyed, Langfuhr. I may not have caught them all. I'd call that a pretty good collection. A lot of these were overseas, like the Danehills. I got to visit Danzig at Claiborne a few years ago; he was very old but still in good shape. Very mellow (or just too old to bother), let us pet and fuss over him. Nearly a carbon copy of Northern Dancer, without the bright white markings. Little bulldog of a horse. Why do people think big=good and small=bad? Plenty of counterexamples.

Oooops ... sorry ... I'm getting a little too wound up in this thread. What was the question again? Oh, yeah ... Lawyer Ron ... I didn't see the race ... just reviewed the chart. He didn't set off skyrockets ... but he did beat some horses who were in better shape than he was. It shows that he's a decent quality race horse ... but I don't think he'll ever break Bernardini's heart. |

![]() I agree with you on LR vs. Bernardini-- in fact, I don't think any three-year-old can break Bernardini's heart at this point, but I'm glad LR did well. And I hope he'll be back as a 4-year-old, too... Useless trivia-- "Pansy O'Hara" was Margaret Mitchell's original name choice for her immortal heroine. |

![]() Anyone know who else is headed to the Super Derby? (If Lawyer Ron goes, of course...). It would be good to see a few of the old gang clash again -- LR, Bro Derek, SNS. There are still quite a few good 3yo's out there if they can stay healthy.
