I'm sure what we do is called gambling, but an article by Jim Squires (Owner of Two Bucks Farm) tells us that "of the 35 most expensive colts from this year's 3-year-old crop purchased at public auction, only Cowtown Cat ($1.5 million) is still on track for the quest."
88million was spent (gambled?) on the other 34.

Curlin was sold for $57,000 as a yearling, won his first race last February, and then shortly after sold for 3.5 million. Somebody spent a lot money trying to win the Derby.If money talks, maybe they know something.

The article goes on to say we won't have any Triple Crown winners in the near future.

Some time ago, we ate lunch in crowded little place and a nice young fellow and his girl asked if they could sit us. They both had English accents. The guy turned out to be Green Monkey's groom. I asked what he looked like and he said "he was very nice, but not exceptional".

So, who knows what?

Wow TomCat…

“Not exceptional”!!! :eek:

For that money I would want a combination of…

• Gina Lollobrigida
• Bridget Bardot
• Sophia Loren
• And my current favorite...Scarlett Johansson ;)
