"Mr. Stronach had what appeared to be a remarkably convenient lack of memory and an extraordinary ability to skirt around or evade inconvenient answers."


Sounds remarkably similar to what is going on in MD right now with Dragone not having a clue about the contracts with the horsemen and no clear cut answers coming out as to what is going to happen at the end of the Spring Pimlico meet, whenever that is supposed to end.....

If the horsemen have to get out after the Preakness, and with Delpark asking for stall apps soon, it'd be nice to know what the situation is.

In an open length win by a dominant runner:

"Point Given is widening with every jump... 8.. 10.. now 12 lengths in front of his nearest pursuer... Coming to the wire, and the Preakness winner will add a Belmont triumph to his list of feats as he excoriates this field in the mile and a half 'Test of the Champion'..."
