Most Talked-About Horses:
No Stakes Winners were entered in the Marathon Cup today- it was interesting to see a whole fresh batch of hungry challengers!

I was also happy to see a son of our fine broodmare Forensyk win the race before the one named for his dam. Maybe someday one of her daughters or sons will win the stakes named after her! Hmmm. If I want this to happen, I guess I should sell some of them...

Coolest Name: Lie for Me, 99 b c,SMR
