NOTES: Welcome to the first running of the Warburton Memorial Stakes! This race is named for an old family friend, Tom Warburton, the first person to ever set me on a horse's back (at 2, on his Appy stallion Catfish)! He also "lent" me my first horse, Beans. A big man, he only once sat an Arabian for a parade, but he respected any horse that could carry you 100 miles!

Most Talked-About Horses: Race #9, Shakem Osiris vs. Firehouse Will and RA Faunus! Will the one-two punch of a furious pace-presser and a tactical closer spell defeat for the black dynamo?!
