Heartfelt congrats to Linda on qualifying for the NHC. Looks like you beat your friend Judy to the punch this yr, & that the boys will be facing another formidable distaffer next Jan.

It's always sad when racing loses a devoted fan, especially one as humble & unassuming as Orbs, who was not the kind of guy to pontificate on this Bd re his theory of photography handicapping, the practice of which has me wondering what will become of his extensive collection of photographs of the old Longacres' toteboard.
