Medaglia d\'Oro runners are everywhere. Two more good looking ones go in the fine GP feature on Thurs. Gomez coming in to ride the $3.7 mio purchase Dunkirk.

You pegged it. Here at OAK she was really a striking looking filly as well. Never asked for much and under wraps at the end. It\'s sunny again here today for Old Fashioned. I see that Old Fashioned is listed as a false favorite by one of the Bris tools on the TwinSpires sight...I don\'t get that at all.

From looking at the charts it\'s impressive.The a-other-than race winner went
roughly 4.5 points slower and when 1 from that bunch usually freaks it\'s
prob in the 5-6 range.I\'m curious why beyers\' # on her was weak.

Just re-checked beyers#.RA got a 99.How does this equate in TG?

Iron,

If TG agrees with Beyer, she will get app TG 1(one) which is very fast for any 3 yr old at this time of year,filly or colt.

Miff-- I have been told by my lawyer to kep my powder dry, but I\'m going to have some things to say about Rachel Alexandra soon. For now I\'ll just say, 79.

Jerry, I am still holding my breath waiting for evidence against Frankel from 5 years ago and TAP 2 years ago and now Asmussen, etc etc.

Rather than make a fool of yourself why don\'t you spend your time improving your product?

Sincerely, Mike

Mike-- I know this is hard to get your head around, but there is a difference between evidence and proof. An example of evidence would be, oh, maybe that sheet for the Scott Lake filly I put up. Proof would be, let\'s see, testing a frozen sample and getting a positive. I\'m working on that one.

But hey, by your logic, if there were rules but no testing, by definition there would be no cheating. Right?

Somebody ought to tell the Olympics and the Tour De France that\'s all they have to do to stop cheating. They could save a lot of money.
