On another note, people like Ernest Twambe are real heroes and I hope they are recognized properly. A medal and a stakes race named in his honor would be appropriate. Also, if Woodbine and the government has the class, they should take a percent or so of their takeout to assist the stables and the individuals involved. P.S. - Danny O'Callaghan and Steve Owens - don't give up. Best wishes." http://forums.about.com/ab-horseracing/messages/?lgnf=y&msg=5690.8 Medaglia d'Oro vs. War Emblem CATHERINE623 writes, "Both d'Oro and War Emblem got the early lead and held their advantage to the wire. I personally was more impressed with Medaglia d'Oro. He ran some quick fractions and just demolished the field by more than 13 lengths in quick time. War Emblem had easy fractions and though he won by open lengths, the lead was diminishing at the wire (Espinoza hadn't even cocked the whip on Emblem, so he might have had more). Too bad War Emblem will be heading to the Pacific Classic next...who knows if we'll get to see these two meet up before the BC." http://forums.about.com/ab-horseracing/messages/?lgnf=y&msg=5687.2 -- SCHEDULES -- Television Schedule What's on TV this week. http://horseracing.about.com/library/bltvsched.htm Stakes Race Schedule Listing of stakes races with purses of $75,000 and up for the next week. http://horseracing.about.com/library/blstakessched.htm -- Racing Polls -- NTRA Thoroughbred Racing Poll 08/05/02 HORSE A-S STS-1-2-3 PTS PVS 1.
