Lynn was a hard guy for me to catch,
and while I am not sure, (You're killin' me here)
the runner you mention below might have been around
when I was in time out, at GTE directing IT.
I had several time outs, as might be expected;
with children, I guess.
Billy, I never saw until one day at the bar, (he
wasn't drinking, but Shug was, at KEE in the Spring
of the year TSpecial won. He shipped a spot to AP
that rang my bells in the Spring of '85, Gerrie Singer,
who had only to run down an ILL BRED, Zentastic, at 7f,
turning back from 8f at CD.

In a motel, that used to be a holiday inn, in Cumberland Gap
in the VOLUNTEER state, I saw a picture of Tosmah, and almost
fainted. She was gorgeous, face!
A chart quote: Tosmah and Affectionately engaged in a torrid head to head duel, from flag fall to finish, during which neither gallant mare gave way.
(That was my all time favorite chart;nose)
Tim Tam, Cosmah.
I gotta be cool here, I might like talking about horses as much as playing, spot players have time on their hands, so can seem inappropriately chatty.
