Anyhow, you got me to remembering last year's winner, American Pharaoh, who went on to win the Triple Crown. Here's an interesting feature on how he's spending his retirement years: http://www.kentucky.com/sports/spt-colum...63472.html

The Pharaoh has a link to Maryland and its famous Belair Stables in Bowie. He is descended through their famous horse, Nassau. The Belair Stables are now operated as a museum, and Maryland is considered the birthplace of American Thoroughbred racing.

Whoops! I meant Next Saturday. Evidence that an all day bus tour can wipe a poor man out!
To quote the Breeders Cup Classic Call by my friend on Pharoah, he is a horse of a lifetime.
