Comments & Trackbacks
I’m wracking my brain for a tiny bit of information that passed through it just a few days ago. One of the horses had an owner that caught my eye for some reason.
Arrrgh! I can’t even remember if it was eye-catching in a good way or in a bad way…
Probably a bad way, unless you are a ankees fan. Bellamy Road is owned by Steinbrenner.
