What the Nation is saying about the Colonel E. R. Bradley Handicap...

Bernie Flint-trained Sheer Beauty, owned by L. T. B. Inc. and Miles Childers, won the only grass start of her career by capturing Churchill’s $61,000 Caressing Handicap in 2009, but also got up to finish in a dead-heat for third in last season’s Grade II Fair Grounds Oaks on the main track when beat...Read More

That was more like it. Friesan Fire threw in a clunker, finishing third as the 2-5 favorite in a Dec. 3 allowance race comeback from a long layoff.
