Like Ouija Board.. She's a treasure to have around and to look forward to seeing.

That's really great news. 2010 looks to be a fun year for fans (though it'll be hard to top 2009).

Exactly what I was thinking. It's good to have some more owners (like Ouija Board's Lord Derby) that realize how rare a pleasure it is to have the chance to see your own great horse run.

Lord Derby may be the coolest owner of a big horse ever. It was so obvious that he was tickled to death to have a horse like Ouija Board and wanted her in competition as long as possible because of the fun he was having trotting her around the globe.

It would be nice if she ran in more races here than just the BC Mile.
Wow, 3 years in a row winning the same race would be unprecedented.
