Friday, December 21, 2001A million-dollar international race doesn't usually serve as practice for a $300,000 stakes in Maryland.

I) Nov. 17 at Laurel Park.

Thoro-Graph's Jerry Brown stated emphatically that this is "by far the best 3-year-old crop in history." Brown added, "The numbers so far have been insane, and it's probably going to take around a 2 1/2 to win the Derby," which is the same number Fusaichi Pegasus ran last year.

Thursday, February 08, 2001And you thought we were just going to flutter into February, with barely a breeze being stirred.
