thanks wil

thx wil...going to miss OMT's...Breeders Cup threads

One dumb decision in my opinion is the decision by Dullahan's connections, including Dale Romans, to enter the Even the Score colt in the Juvenile instead of the Juvenile Turf. Greed will cost them a placing if not a win. Anybody who has followed the young colt's career to date will know exactly what I mean.
