Thanks Foxie. :)
Here is a horse that never quite reached the high hopes everybody had for him. When TE he was a juvie, Lise and I were doing a lot of wheeling and dealing, and I ended up with him, which I was thrilled about. He ran great for me and looked like the future, but Lise's string was struggling, so we wheeled and dealed some more, and he went back to Eureka. He has been a swell earner for her, but he never became the dominant horse we both expected. If his AR is somehow and inexplicably correct, then he might have a year or two left. I hope so, and I hope that after all this time all he has really needed was the Ostego touch.
He looks like he still has the speed Bill. I'm excited to have him.
I'm not sure about that Otsego touch though. Good fortune has eluded me so far this season, as you know.
Congrats on a fine purchase - will avoid in future!
