Horses can swim. New races can be written.

PM me the post and you get paid because I don't recall it at all, and you should have said something about it and not waited 3 years.....

The whole back side of Churchill was under water. Some barns had horses standing in water up to their knees. They have started moving some horses (including ours) back to the training center. They have also canceled training for tomorrow. More rain is being called for this evening.

Not good news, considering all the electricity in that water from barn fans! At least there were stalls at the training center, but will that be useable tomorrow or next day, too?

That also means Einstein's training program is off prior to the Million. Wonder if she will ship him up early?
