Not to mention Tungsten Strike, who has won two group races in Britain at 2 miles.

I'm sure he just did not get any interesting quotes from the horses so he went with the J. Brown piece.

Chuck, if U don't mind me asking, do U use any TG's or Rags to spot your horses?

My current group is so slow I wouldn't run any of them if I knew how bad their #'s are.

Seriously I have used TG to get an idea of the relative merits of a race.

Your not the only respected trainer off to a slow start; Pitts, Werner, N. Howard, and P. McGee.
Everything will balance out in the end.
I'm looking forward to making my first trip of the year up to C.D. next Sat. for the big day. Maybe it will be a little bit of a better day to bet than last year when fav's won all the races except for the bomb in the S. Foster.

The stakes should be pretty good but the Foster will be pretty soft.

If Master command, Magna Grad, and Diamond Stripes show up that won't be all that bad.
I'm sure duveen will be odds on in the Jefferson.
curious to see if chelokee will run in the Northern Dancer; seems like it would be a nice fit.

What do you mean by misinformation? Based on what Steve said in a post in this thread Fountaine printed what Jerry Brown said told him and he stated that it was Jerry's opinion.

If you think the NY Post is the only paper that prints wrong information you're wrong. The NY Times, NY Daily News, Newsday, The Star Ledger, etc publish editions with falsehoods in story after story from front cover to back cover.
