Good choices by everyone.. as a sidenote to Mel, two horses that you picked have a connection to my friend Kelli. She bought a half sister to Liquidity three years ago, and her Macho Uno for this year is a nephew to Tiago. Storm in May was sold by the same outfit that broke Barbaro (John Stephens), and the horse is blind in one eye.

P.S. Sometimes when I'm faced with demands and ultimatums, I like to dig my heels in deeper. :-)

Nora said...

Mel was referring to Kara's favorite line in the movie Seabiscuit. Red Pollard , the jockey, was also bli-nd in one eye.

Nora said...

Forget about it Amy.. I'm on to Damon, John (aka Callum Daly), and Kelli right now. It seems that being a threatening "blog nazi" is working.

Kara said...

Now, now, New, what did I tell you about being a "blog nazi?"

Without actually tallying up the votes, I'm thinking that by the looks of things, Ben is the one to beat with Sophie in a close 2nd. We'll have to see after Nora's official tally.
