It's rare that we agree on something but we definitely do on this.

You can thank the hypocrite David Williams and his merry band of idiots for continually blocking alternative gaming which will continue to cause exodus from the state. Look how many mares have already left for Indiana...

Other then his prodigy sux not much.. He was bred to a lot of wondeful mares although most believe his book was completely mismanaged. You could have bred pony to a lot of those mares and still got some runners.

What does that mean, that his book was completely mismanaged?

No sarcasm intended.

Smarty Jones' star power draws a crowd in York County

Thousands thronged to the Windsor Township stable that is now home to legendary race horse Smarty Jones.
