Recently in the Times. I'm surprised not to have been contacted for a quote. Clearly, my standing isn't what it once was in the transportation field. Seems these kinds of projects would be ideal for combating unemployment, especially into 2010 and 2011, when hard costs and serious labor dollars would start flowing. Instead, we get this. Ughh.

I've always been a fan of the Benders here in Maryland. They run a great program with Larry Murray at the helm. Nice piece in DRF on homebred Access Fee. Benders also bred Bocamis, the dam of Veiled Reference. You can read snippet on her in this MD newsletter. Scroll down to Boca Flyer write-up.

I'll try to sneak out and see Veiled Reference, maybe next week. She should be scheduled to start back at the gallop pretty soon. This will be her first time galloping since last February, so she probably won't know what to do with herself. It'll be like when you put a kid in a candy store and the sensory overload is so much that they start to cry. It's good for kids to learn decision making skills early on, though. I only stopped tearing up at breakfast buffets a few years ago, so I know the excitement VR will be feeling. Here's to her playing it cool.
