    Oh those French! We will be making our usual bets today. The field is so full of talent that it will be impossible to pick a winner. The horse I am most intrigued by is Alpha; his breeding is total royalty: his sire is Bernardini by AP Indy, and his dam is by NIJINSKY! You look at that and think, “how could he lose?!”. But it’s his heart that counts and that’s the question……………..GOOD LUCK TO ALL!

    And sure enough, didn’t he win! He looks like a mule, but like a mule, he must have a huge heart!

      And doesn’t that matter more than anything (provided, of course, that you have talent)?
