==================================
new topic: So terrible about events in Paris, France. !!!
Brought some memories back to me. I spent one night in Paris many years
ago ... primarily to say I'd been there. I was returning from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia from
one of my trips to there. I was Proj.manager for a new military academy over there.
Our Engineers were in Athens, Greece; our client (U.S.Corps of Engineers in Livorno, Italy.
..........I just took a cab one night in Paris to sightsee; and we had just passed the
Eifle Tower, heard a loud noise behind us; I looked back, and a car was on it's top; still
spinning. Must have hit a curb or something; about 1/2 block behind us at that time.
Cab driver didn't even slow down; kept going. My one and only night in Paris.
MEMORIES. International travel.....such fun.

Wow! With it going down today, I thought sure I'd be at or near the bottom. Thanks for the correction Clark, I hadn't noticed it was wrong before.  |

I will likely be late posting results today because I have some meetings to attend this afternoon and evening. If I can catch a time in between meetings I will post at that time, otherwise it will be later tonight.

Yes, thank you for the Congrats. .... & I think PRTA getting the collar of roses probably surprised
me as much as anyone. But I'll share a secret with you on how to get your horse as No.l .........
Just tell him this: " if you win first place, I'll find you a young filly to keep you company until
the next race ...." LOL. but keep that confidential .... just among us .......o.k.

That might work for your frisky colts but I prefer geldings because they're easier to manage.
