Sunday, February 03, 2002To Keeneland racing official Howard Battle, it was simple when it came time to decide who was going to get top weight on the 2001 Experimental Free Handicap for males. "He won very easily. How could you not give him the top weight?"

Wednesday, October 24, 2001There is no question that You has proven the most so far among the nine entries in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies (gr. I).
