In honor of Rick B., I will watch race 6, the G3 Arlington Matron with keen interest likely cheering for Lady Fog Horn.

20-1 will not happen esp with Marcus Hersh and Kenny Peck picking her to win in the DRF and a horse that has a 9 for 16 record. She has the 11 Post position in her two turn Poly debut. Will she be "equally dangerous" as Rick told us on poly as she is on dirt, wet, and turf?

Ever since she ran 2nd at Churchill in Nov., I've been on a solid run. Let's see what she does tomorrow as you know Rick B. would have bet her. I may not even wager but I will watch her every step.

I had asked how old he was when he passed. He was 55. Love the mention of his passion for poker and the horses.
