Comings and Goings

The Breeders’ Cup may be over (and, sadly, a chapter closed when Pine Island was buried at Claiborne) but auction and retirement season is in full swing. Just about 48 hours after competing in the Distaff, Sharp Lisa went through the ring, bringing a price of $3.4 million. Apparently she’s set for a visit with […]

Michael Matz discusses what might have been in several places (here too) while updates on his condition still garner headlines in the popular press – the news that his cast might come off in the near future is […]
