>How bad a trip did this Chris Clement 6YO get? The following popped into my mind (a) the Titanic; (b) the Andrea Doria (sp?); (c) Apollo 13 and (d) Ted Kennedy* at Chappaquidick.

Richie think Jimi Hendricks.

>There is the electrifying Gorella, who appears out of nowhere (think Rosie Ruiz**) sometime during the stretch run and has shown awesome acceleration.

Richie as a TG customer I am ashamed of your criticsm of Rosies trip. Look at all the ground she saved.

Also the Inner Dirt at Aqueduct sounds pretty good. I'm sure there is at least a place to sit.
