Miscellanea...Juicy Quote and an Equine Bestseller

["Linda B. Merims" <lbm@ici.net>]

Comment by trainer Bob Baffert on one of his horses at Saturday's
Lexington Stakes at Keeneland:

  "When he finished he was nothing but hair and lactic acid."

The #1 Non-fiction book on the New York Times Bestseller(R) list
is a book about the great handicap horse of the 1930's, the
characters surrounding him, and the times in which he raced:

  Seabiscuit:  An American Legend
   by Lillian Hillenbrand

Sheesh!  #1 on the NY Times Bestseller list!  (One of my favorite
horse books as a kid was "Come On Seabiscuit!")

It's 70 degrees and it's end-of-winter BATH DAY!
