Believe it or not, I've seen a few of them who would make that horse look like Caller One or Big Drama by comparison...and did so while running a lot less greenly.

Maybe next year, I'll do a list of the 100 slowest and most hopeless 2yo's.

If you're buying anything out of the June OBS, you know, to actually race it, you'd better have a fat wallet for the vet and/or very little sense.

2011 has been a banner year thus far with 2 graded winning graduates (Giant Ryan and May Day Rose). You have to go back to Behndatthebar in 2008 (Lexington Stakes winner) to find the next one.

They don't call it the "Broken Bones" sale for nothing.

Groan. PETA is a known domestic terrorist organization that couldn't give a damn about animals.

What killed me is the remark that PETA's concerned with the same thing that our people are concerned with. No, no they're not. They want horse racing to stop. Period. There should've been a statement put out that 2yo in training sales with the breeze shows are already being evaluated by the industry (which they were to a degree because we've had discussions about it) and that PETA's request is redundant and unnecessary. Giving them a meeting is ludicrous. If you think they're right, take credit for the idea, then ignore them.
