Interesting News, Updates, and Info
"We've accumulated a very nice portfolio loaded with athletic/precocious types that should do well at next year's juvenile sales. We've also hedged our investments by purchasing horses eligible for lucrative regional programs where the competition is weak and the overhead is minimal. If anything doesn't sell, I feel confident we'll have a lot of fun with any of them at the races next year."

Quotes:
"You can buy a man's time, you can buy a man's physical presence at a certain place, you can even buy a measured number of skilled muscular motions per hour or day. But you cannot buy enthusiasm, you cannot buy initiative, you cannot buy loyalty; you cannot buy the devotion of hearts, minds, and souls. You have to earn these things."
~Clarence Francis
"It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."
~Theodore Roosevelt
