Bold B, that's cool about seeing High Chaparral at Epsom. I really liked that horse. I had him in his 2nd BC Turf, and sweated out that photo that took forever to decide.
My most amusing overseas track visit was a track in Peru where there was no minimum payout, and a winning horse could (and did) pay back less than the bet.
