Congratulations to Ashton Fitzpatrick
TEXSQUARED writes, "Forum member Ashton Fitzpatrick scored her first win
as a jockey Saturday at Laurel. Congratulations from all of us at
Horse-Races.Net and Horseracing.About.Com! See you at the Derby someday!"
RETROSPECTIVE replies, "Lucky kid...if I had been shorter (instead of 5'9")
I'd love to have had the opportunity to do that. Nice to see someone follow
their dream."

Andrew Beyer's HOY - not Azeri
In the Washington Post, Beyer wrote "Rock of Gibraltar may not have ideal
credentials, but he'll get my vote. It will be a rebuke to a generation of
American horses so poor that Azeri could be considered a horse-of-the-year
candidate." XTERMINAL replies, "[this] does bring up the idea of Orientate
as HOY."
