NorthStar called it first in the other thread! It wouldn't take long for someone to grab the name. Leave it to Baffert to say it, though. He's got a great sense of humor.

Darn, I've got a suckling, too. I didn't get to the JC fast enough. :lol:

Shame it's not a filly. You could call her Seven Diamond Girl. They'd have no idea what that meant to find it hooker-ish.

Ironic isn't it? The IRS actually kept someone from getting screwed this time.

Mine is a filly! Thanks, Heidi, I'll try it when the time comes.

By that, do you mean you don't get the reference to Client Number Nine and Seven Diamond Girl? In the current Eliot Spitzer scandal, he was the "Client Number Nine" that the government referred to when interviewing the hooker, Ms. Dupre. Ms. Dupre herself was the Seven Diamond Girl on the "Emperor's Club" page, like a deck of cards to choose from.
