Smitty, Thats a very informitive Book, WOW Good stuff

I watched the Video of Weekend Warrior in above post, he was a Gooden that night

I see where Naple Ritz tied 4th in Stake at Gallatin last night -HUH WHAT DAMN

Everett,
I doubt him tying 4th had anything to do with his lick. Probably was a canter issue. Hope the video comes available so we can see what happened.
Eddie

Big Ed,your right,I think it was a cantering issue.He broke in the turn with the judge looking square at him.I also thought he looked a little flat on the reverse.

I don't remember making a contribution to Smitty's book, but I will happily share in the royalties!

DB,

Pre-release orders have been through the roof! I anticipate WHT for D's making the top ten in both FICTION and NON-FICTION categories. As soon as we reach that lofty plateau, your check will be in the mail, suh!

(Of course, you guys are welcome to join me on the book-signing tour as well....)

That Book signin Tour sounds good to me .Bet we'd have a ball.Now that I think about it I don't know how many towns besides S'Ville could handle us all at one time.LOL

Shelbyville?

I was thinkin more along the lines of Vegas/Lake Tahoe/Monterrey/Vail/ etc.................???

Hold on, I gotta call Oprah bout gettin in her "Book Club" first.........

What all horse where in the class with Naples Ritz?

Big'n,

1. Generator's Free Falling - Justin Taylor for Carroll & Virginia Counts
2. Casino At The Ritz - Tommy Loid
3. Lots of Luck - Chad Way for Ray Jones Trucking, Inc.
4. Naples Ritz - Tim Gray for William B. Johnson

Smitty - the book might make it into science fiction and fairy tale genres as well.

"Lots of Luck"...is one of Sherri Dietz's Ward's amt horses. All of her horses are now with Chad. Speaking of Chad...he relocated this week and is now at Sheryl & Doug Crawfords (Saddlecrest). Jack Way is moving or has moved into the old BlackHawk on 231.

Today, I heard Jerry Summers judged Gallatin. I had a great breakfast at the Midway Diner. 2 pieces pork tenderloin, 1 egg cooked to order, 2 biscuits, gravy & jelly for the unheard of price $3.50 plus tax, plus $1.29 for coffee. Talked to Sonny Scribner about Mo. Billy Gray was there at the table but didn't look too down in the dumps. Said hi to Sonny Holt & Tommy Howell. Had lunch with my Ca. friends at Rafaels Italian food Restaurant (owned & operated by Mexicans) great food & prices, across from Vics first barn location.

well im going with the under dog in both splits in the A am going with King of the Jungle and in the B with Tin Man

That's pretty good underdog picks big'n.I'm backin Bill and Rowdy but I'll tell you it is wide open this yr.

I'll play and step out on a limb by picking the top 3 ties in each
Sec. A
1) The Coach
2) Weekend Warrior
3) Ted Williams

Sec. B
1) Rowdy Rev
2) Star
3) Golden Soverign

That's a good prediction,might be pretty close.

The Golden Sovereign. He is by the same stud as my broodmare and her first baby looked exactly like him! Unfortunately, the kids were sneaking in and playing with the baby, and she ended up so spoiled, you couldn't do a thing with her.

We moved the mare and haven't had that problem again. But all the babies have been black, and not nearly as pretty as the first one. Different stallions were involved.

Let's see......

I'll go with

1. Weekend Warrior
2. The Coach
3. Cadillac Bum

1. Rowdy Rev
2. The Golden Sovereign
3. Ironwork's Tin Man
