Miff,

I just returned from watching Tiger win at Doral. Missed a couple putts there, had a nice lead and was life and death to hold on, still doesn't know where his driver is going half the time. See where I am going with this.

The last three eighths yesterday went in 37. The opening half was 48 and the three quarters was 1:12. This after the Hutchinson where the half was 43 and three quarters was 1:07. Next thing you will be hearing is he's a one-paced rat.

About twenty years ago a nice horse got re-put up in the Fla Derby in a controversial finish.

A few years later another nice horse was beaten in the Hutchinson, won the FOY by a nose and got run down late in the Fla Derby.

Neither one of those horses got a Mile and a Quarter on the first Saturday in May.

Those horses names were Chiefs Crown and Forty Niner. Racing would be lucky to have another one as good as those two.

Maybe the Stud Barn gets this one First.
