If that's what it takes to get racing in the news, so be it. It would be nice if they ran against each other, though.

And what's really a shame is that all these fine "Ladies" will be featured on Friday, when most people will be at work, and not on Saturday, which is what these incredible horses deserve. At this point, I'd say the Distaff is shaping up as the best race of the Breeders' Cup.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
