Richie�,

I’ve shared this White Mercedes story with a few of the backyard boys.

A friend has a handful of horses with a trainer whose barn is kitty corner to the Pletcher barn at Oklahoma. Old Jimmy Crupi (God Bless) was holding court there one morning 5-6 years ago telling stories. He said “last week all Pletcher’s horses looked like me, old, no energy, just hanging around then the White Mercedes pulled up, the next day they ALL were dancing & prancing on their toes.�

Curlin’s do develop 4 points from 3-5, Vino just developed a couple more points a year early..... After all, he has a vet that can see what 30 others could not after the fact of course......

Nero continues to fiddle as the Santa Ana winds fuel the fire.
