Oh yeah? We'll see who's kidding when I'm living on the first colony of Mars and you're stuck in Georida.

I'll be part of the second colony... you know, the one that inhabits Mars after the first colony has tested out all of the 'kinks.'

FYI - For those who enjoy speed figures:

Winning Colors ran a 116 Beyer in the Santa Anita Derby (if memory serves), a 111 in the Kentucky Derby, a 106 in the Preakness, and a 115 in the Breeders' Cup Distaff.

Winning Colors at 3 was an order of magnitude better than Rags to Riches. Her Santa Anita Derby effort was absolutely sensational where she just blew the doors off the western colts in 1:47 winning by the length of the track. And looking at her triple crown races and the Breeders Cup Distaff, back then fields were actually deep and good horses danced every dance. There were a lot of talented fillies behind her and Personal Ensign. As metioned previously, Goodbye Halo was awfully successful in her own right...and Sham Say, Classic Crown, Epitome, Willa On The Move etc were pretty nice horses as well.
