Hmm..forgot all about that. I just remembered the one-horse stable thing and everybody sure was all warm and fuzzy celebrating after the win. Well I'm happy for the horse then. General Quarters is indeed very cool.

Yeah, I remember hearing that - Steve Haskin made an issue about it last year. Heard other stories directly opposite. I frankly don't give a damn. I LOVE THAT HORSE - GENERAL QUARTERS. And, I am soooooooo happy he won.
