Flotsam and Jetsam

While my fan days peaked with Cuatro, I have always considered the phrase itself, a poetic and acute arrangement of wordcraft.

1. Arlington Park offers $500,000 for Mid-America Triple. Kevin Greely is the VP of Racing and the Racing Secretary for Arlington Park and has instituted some genuinely good programs into the seemingly interminable AP season. He started the American 1000 Guineas, I wrote briefly about it last year, and is proving a worthy caretaker of the turf. Deadline for nominations is April 10_th
   
2. "The sky isn't falling." Bear Sterns was a buy in March '08, too. Time to stock up on water, canned goods and ammo. (ht to PR)
3. "...we are comfortable with sales performance." Hmmm...anyone see a pattern?
4. Maybe Belmont Park could try this for the next "Test of the Champion." (ht to MR)
