And why? Come hell or high water, nobody tied to Farish will be sanctioned for any alleged impropiety in racing. Farish was too busy getting Mineshaft to the 2003 Horse Of The Year Podium while "We were at war," as he was occupying the Ambassadorship to the United Kingdom.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
