Very much agree with your #1. However, there were so many awesome races this yr, how did you manage to numerate them??

By the time Feather is Maria's age, I think she will have accomplished just as much and MAYBE a bit more than Maria; so my scales tip toward Feather! :)

I happened to meet this ol' man when I went to see Secretariat. Thank God for full metal screens! He lunged at me, biting the screen, scaring the crap out of me (wasnt ready for it). One of the rankest attitudes I'd ever encountered - made me wonder how they worked with him on a daily basis!

Distance, distance, distance!! I want to see more longer-running babies in this country! Cant wait to see his babies hit the tracks! And when they start winning, dont up his fee - keep it right where it is! ;)

I think, since Blind Luck is still young & sound enough, she'd make a great Hunter! Give her a yr or so of training, let her compete for two or three yrs, THEN breed her! ;)

Would someone PLEASE jerk that SOB up by his neck and toss him out of the country!

This is insane!! They are actually gonna sit on their thumbs til his horses start dropping dead in the middle of races?? How much more blatant does it all have to be! "Mockery" is an understatement!! I'd hate to see what these horses look like the day after these races!

I made my plea for Mr Leon to keep her with Bill on DRF's fb page! I figure he's got enuf common sense to see that noone knows her better or loves her more than Bill ;)

Brian, does it HAVE to be "THE" fave or "A" fave? Cuz 2 of these are "A" fave. Alts in ( ): Juvy Sprint - Trinniberg (Vexor)/ Juvy Filly Turf - Elusive Kate (Somali Lemonade)/ F&M Sprint - Musical Romance (Pomeroys Pistol)/ Juvy Filly - My miss Aurelia (Grace hall)/ F&M Turf - Dubawi Heights (Announce)/ Ladies Classic - Royal Delta (Plum Pretty)/ Marathon - Birdrun (Eldaafer)/ Juvy Sprint - Majestic City (Finale)/ Sprint - Giant Ryan (Euroears)/ Turf Sprint - Regally Ready (Havelock)/ Juvy - Dullahan (Drill)/ Mile - Goldikova (Gio Ponti)/ Dirt Mile - Caleb's Posse (The Factor)/ Turf - St Nich Abbey (Sarafina)/ Classic - Honor & Serve (Drosselmeyer)

The only one I can see standing between Romance, a muddy track (which is highly likely at a November CD), and the Winner's Circle, is T Descent.
