A slightly different discussion ... The Jock !!

[Niall]

Talamo has rec\'d lots of press recently. I dont particularly care for him and thought that his ride in the Wood was sort of a gift in that he was put in a \"no lose\" situation courtesy of the bad break. Wonder what his instrux were had the horse broken well Same for all the horses who were just \"prepping\". Does Rosario have a mount ?? Also - while POTN may run well over the dirt in workouts, how does he react to the dirt in his face 1st time? I recall watching Dylan Thomas gallop like at champ on the dirt at Belmont only to resent it during the race.

For JB ... have you rec\'d your invite to the Team West Side party in Saratoga? Its not to be missed ...

Niall-- a little early for Saratoga, no? But let me know as it gets close, if I\'m around that weekend I\'ll be there.

Jerry - when you live up here in the land of the perpetual turtleneck sweater its never too early ... Its opening weekend ....
