EXECUTIVE DECISION Views = 0     Interest = 0 No interest = No point. Reluctant to make the decision but I am winding up this blog.

I would expect a bolder showing next time. Newbury 1.33 Classic Speed (KODIAC) as I noted in the preview for this, the mare of this colt has produced mostly stayers so it must have been encouraging for connections for hi
