So much useful information in such a convenient, compact form. Great bang for your buck and we strongly recommend it to everybody involved in racing. http://horseracing.about.com/library/weekly/aa120999a.htm Naming a Thoroughbred Since January 1st is the official birthday for all race horses, here is a look at the rules for naming one and what names can never be used again. http://horseracing.about.com/library/weekly/aa010102a.htm Seabiscuit Movie Trailer Here is a sneak peek at the new Seabiscuit movie that is coming out in the summer of 2003. http://www.seabiscuitmovie.com/ -- ON THE FORUM -- Vindication vs. Toccet for 2yo Eclipse SURFSIDE97BF writes," Vindication beat Kafwain easily by 2 3/4. Toccet was all out to beat the same horse by a head. Vindication has beaten the likes of Kafwain, Hold That Tiger, Bull Market, Van Nistelrooy, Tomahawk, Toccet, Whywhywhy, and Zavata. Toccet has beaten Whywhywhy, Zavata, and Kafwain. In their lone head to head, Vindication trounced Toccet. Good horses overcome bad posts." http://forums.about.com/ab-horseracing/messages/?lgnf=y&msg=6130.2 Secretariat memorabilia sold CLASSICK88 writes. "Reading the David Cross item, I know this is old, but I think I am still frustrated that Penny Chenery sold off so much of Secretariat's trophies, bridles, blankets, etc. and now it's all in the hands of private collectors. Did she say this was for the fans? How many fans could afford any of that! Wouldn't it be great if we could all go to the Kentucky Horse Park or the Hall of Fame and see all of this in a collection? Now that will never be able to happen." http://forums.about.com/ab-horseracing/messages/?lgnf=y&msg=6126.1 -- 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 -- FINAL NTRA Thoroughbred Racing Poll 10/28/02 HORSE A-S STS-1-2-3 PTS PVS 1.
