WM has gone South for the winter.

By the way, do you want to laugh? Cry? In Dave Grening's column in today's Racing Form, Grening does his pre-race poop on Aqueduct's 75k Garland of Roses sprint stake. He writes the following about the entry BANK AUDIT, who zoomed last out to a -1 ThoroGraph, a marked improvement from what was a tailing-off line:

GRENING: "In the House Party, BANK AUDIT bounced back from a disappointing summer in which she finished fourth in the Ballerina and Gallant Bloom. Following the Gallant Bloom, BANK AUDIT was diagnosed with a pulled muscle in her back. According to trainer Frank LaBocetta Jr., BANK AUDIT was worked on by noted veterinarian Dr. Steve Allday. "She trained great after that," LaBocetta said. "She ran a great race. Hopefully, we covered what was bothering her."

Oh.

So... after being injected behind closed doors [unbeknownst to the public at large] BANK AUDIT runs a lifetime top. Pharmacology - cause and effect - trumps all.
