I actually leave sugar cubes on my racing form the night before*; like leaving cookies and cocoa for Santa.

I absolutely love this.  :) 

Thanks Winter..I have always been fond of you from afar for all these years...Ernie

Indeed!





  

who are the other 2?   Sorry,not keeping up

'Tis The Law', kinda is the other, in that his owners were initial two Triple Crown races winners with Funny Cide. A gelding, he was unable to provide his not wealthy profiled connections with breeding monies over some decades.

The Gov made the count 2. Now owners/Zayat Stables of TC winner ridgling American Pharoah fame went from the upper crust of money in racing  to where the connections above are more solvent.

As I preach to rookie biz owners you can't spend profit; only just the cash. Ahmed Zayat became way too aggressive in horse racing, breeding, and business stake holders financials.

It's great to see the modest owners get a leg up.  

My well wishes to you and all during this trying time. (d)

What really got me was by accident I came across a red corpusle equine pundit who ranks Maxfield #2 in his Scoobie Do-ins.
