Re: Cali Chrome!!!

Hope Art Sherman knows Cali's dam traces twice to Swaps. Swaps was the first Derby winner I saw, down at Darby Dan Farm.

Exceed and Excel, a champion Australian sprinter and sire of 70 Stake winners, including six group 1, has for his second dam the good stakes filly Gladiolus, who was by Watch Your Step by Citation, and out of Back Britches by Carry Back.

First time Calvin won the Derby he got to meet the President. By now I'm thinking we should ELECT him President - the man can make things happen.

The year of Moccasin and Roman Brother, each was HOTY on different polls. There were a couple back then, Morning Telegraph (Racing Form) poll, Turf and Sport Digest poll (that might have been Moccasin), and I think a TRA poll.

Here in PA, about 100,000 beautiful whitetail deer, which have strong survival instincts, and several human beings, are killed on the highway in gruesome automobile/deer accidents. I bet 80 % of these deaths could be prevented if we simply banned all cars (except firetrucks, ambulances and police ca...
