Hope you and yours have good one too Joly and hope our missing players all return safe and sound. I see that Steve has posted something from Fairgrounds opening day. Won't be long before we'll all be learning about the new cast of characters in the quest for Derby Trail glory. Amazing how many have retired since Breeder's Cup. Guess I just never noticed that happening to such an extent before. Anyway, hope everyone has a good Thanksgiving!!

Funny, we were talking about Native American tribes last night and I mentioned the Caddo were Native Americans in these parts and that a river was named after them. I just noticed on the future bets listing that there is a horse named Caddo River. Horse is owned by Mr. John Ed Anthony and trained by Brad Cox. Wouldn't be surprised if we saw that one at Fairgrounds or maybe at Oaklawn.
Some might remember some of Mr. Anthony's horses. His Loblolly Stables had Pine Bluff, Temperance Hill, Vanlandingham and Cox's Ridge as well as others. I think most of these were trained by Shug McGaughey or maybe some by Joe Cantey. Mr. Anthony named his horses after towns and landmarks and even people (the Vanlandinghams)here in Arkansas. I think he made his money in the timberlands here and therefore the name Loblolly which is a type of pine tree. Story goes, if I'm getting it right, that after he was divorced, his wife got all the horses, so now his stable is called Short-leaf which I think is another name for pine trees.

Only partially right about the trainers. Shug trained Vanlandingham. Pine Bluff and another horse, Prairie Bayou were trained by Thomas Bohannon. Both won the Preakness. Temperance Hill and Cox's Ridge were trained by Joe Cantey. Temperance Hill won the Belmont Stakes.
