Default It's all (BC) gravy now!

Watching Ouija Board win that race made my day. I don't mean money-wise. As long as the rest of the horses today return safely, I'll be happy.

What a mare. They could have retired her last year after the injury, but they didn't, and it was fun to watch the Churchill fans respond to her. Lord Derby deserves a lot of credit for running her this year.

it's horses like that who take the sting out of those three year olds who jump ship just when they get your heart pumping!

she is very, very special. a euro horse coming to our biggest day three years in a row, two wins and a second. an incredible horse, and hopefully she comes out ok and runs again before years end.

And she's going to the Japan Cup next. She's only 5, really, that's not that old; she could run for another couple of years if they want to.
