Please take a look at what The Wire has to offer. Many of you are running two year olds against older horses already because there aren't that many available races for two year olds. Well we have a bunch and trust me it looks better on your record. We need your enthusiasm and support now. Let's make it a good lead up to the Breeders Cup for both racetracks.
