You would really like it- it's a great place and obviously the DT contingent that hangs there is a lot of fun.

SBL- nice pics. You didn't happen to snap one of my boy Colonel Klink did you?

dapples!

I put him in my watch. I caught him at Indiana and he was 20-1'ish and he won a nice race. I had him yesterday, 19-1 behind Hops and hit the super.

This horse taught me the value of watching races carefully for the purpose of jotting down names when appropriate to add to my watches.

Your pic is now my 'puter shot.

Thanks again.

YW! Here's another:

That stinks, wish I could have seen him again at Arlington.

At least I got to feed him a peppermint at Classic Mile. Then he tried to bite my hand off.

That's why we had to retire him..he missed.

sorry to hear the colonel is retiring. he seemed to have so much potential, and was certainly a character! hope he finds a good home.

Sorry to hear about Col. Klink. He looks like he could be a good hunter/jumper.

Last year John came back to the barn to "meet" Klink. I even lent him a book on Hogan's Heores that he never returned. I was realistic in my expectations of Klink but thought after he won the MSW last Summer that we might have a decent IL Bred for a few years. But, things went downhill with his health and it's obvious he can't race anymore. As Tom said, we have a great relationship with a farm around us that finds good foster homes for any of our retired horses.
