Legends. Past and future?

The problem with having an empire that consists of one horse, is that you find yourself with a lot of free time when that horse is relaxing at the farm. Fortunately, Imalexus will return to the barn of Linda Albert and start serious training by the end of this month. Too late to make the BC Juvenile but not so to get on the road for the first Saturday in May.

Speaking of two year old fillies, the GIII Arlington-WashingtonLassie Stakes (or the Todd Pletcher/Lion Heart invitational) goes off tomorrow. Pletcher/Lion Heart have three of the thirteen entries and Gomez comes into town to ride; dismiss Pride(2x2 to Pletcher and Lion Heart) at your peril. Free PP's for stakes can be found at the TBA website.

North American Trainer magazine has stepped up and agreed to sponsor the TBA 3yo division. Welcome. The TBA donates to Old Friends.

It is not too late to get in on this rapidly growing commodity, Standings. After the upcoming marketing summit in Vegas this thing is going to take off and you can say you knew us when.

Channing Hill is the leading rider at Belmont after his score in the opener.

Sandy Hawley was on HRTV, I am fortunate enough to have it on Comcast, discussing the upcoming Legends race on Oct 18, and how he has been in training for it for several months now. Stevens has been working horses in the mornings at Santa Anita and Del Mar and I am sure that the others are doing whatever it is they do. None of these greats are going to want to look bad.

The press release states that it is an allowance race but that every horse is assigned 126 lbs. Where does the allowance come in?

Great weeekend at Arlington and yours truly will be there.

LOL on Channing Hill on top of the jockey standings at Belmont.

Thanks for the link (now I feel bad for the Bartman comment, oops I did it again).

Geno- Don't give the Bartman thing a second thought. I am over it and am past holding a grudge about it. I think Bartman and Norwood are sharing an underpass somewhere.

On a completely separate topic...
What is your interpretation of what was the 'In the crease' rule?


Would you look at that...guess I'm not over it;)

Touche.

LOL on wide right.

Sad to report I was five rows up from Mr. Hull's illegal score.

I think we have a lot in common.

Off to torture myself this weekend at Rich Stadium (aka the Ralph)...i'd certainly rather be at Arlington as i'm sure we'll lose at the gun.

Greatest horse ever to look through a bridle
