[kadee79]

Congrats Ombud & Clark!

[architecto25]

   CONGRATULATIONS to Ombud (win), Kadee (place), & Clark (show). 
        I guess my horse didn't understand you have to run ALL FIVE DAYS to win..... LOL.
           ..... also I noticed that Tyfighter didn't get a horse to the gates this week.
          Perhaps he'll saddle one up by Monday.

[ModE98]

CONGRATS to Ombud for a strong Win this week, and to kadee and clarkrl for Place & Show.

[tyfighter3]
