"Upon the highest throne in the world, we are seated, still, upon our arses."

So Michael Montaigne ended his essays. Good enough for a Monday! Anybody notice the purchase price of the "best 3 yr. old filly in the world" named Snow Fairy? Tattersals Ireland, 2008 yearling sale: $2,467.00. Guess that's in "Irish". Embarrasingly, I paid a thousand more for my Rollin' Rodney.

At any rate, am checking the trainer injury stats that I compiled in 2009 to see how they stack up in terms of frequency related to permanent injury, and hope to report tomorrow.

Training:

Sat/Sun. 12/11/12/12: They predicted down to zero degrees. Only got to 9 degrees F, lol. We're sitting out the cold snap, so far. Off.
