Thanks for the report! Did you happen to notice if she was wearing the figure-eight noseband?

Oh man... I wish I was there. I'd be up early with a strong cup of coffee in hand, checking out the contenders.

Thanks Steve -- glad to have "our man on the scene" there.

RA galloped out a mile in 37 and change, eh.

Sure seems likes she's ready to RACE.



Well, we know where Zardana's gunna be on 4/30 (CJ too).

In fact, we've known this for WEEKS.

No speculation or guesswork needed on that one…

If Francisco Torres was working any of them then definitely him. Scariest looking man I've ever seen.
