You have to have a GLOBAL perspective not just the narrow North American take on EVERYTHING in order to stay current.


From the Ascot website: "Tonight, at Great Leigh's biggest All-Weather meeting to date, an eight-race card boasts quality "prep" races for the forthcoming Breeders' Cup in California and Frognal in the Thoroughbred Open Juvenile looks one of several handy rides for champion-elect Ryan Moore."
