Bloodhorse – Churchill Repurchases Shares from Duchossois Group
Hear me, people: We have now to deal with another race- small and feeble when our fathers first met them, but now great and overbearing. Strangely enough they have a mind to till the soil and the love of possession is a disease with them. These people have made many rules that the rich may break but the poor may not. They take their tithes from the poor and weak to support the rich and those who rule.
Sitting Bull
Sal says that if Coates is not too busy the provincial government should send him over to Horse Racing Alberta and get him to update the Cuff Report and suggest methods for the changes required to ensure the survival of the horse racing industry in the province of Alberta.
Sal says that while searching through Phil’s dog eared archives he noticed that Phil had plenty of ideas for improving the professionalism of thoroughbred racing in the province of Alberta. If any person at Horse Racing Alberta wants some of Phil’s ideas they can contact Sal at HS@HolyBull.ca.
There are many in this old world of ours who hold that things break about even for all of us. I have observed, for example, that we all get the same amount of ice. The rich get it in the summertime and the poor get it in the winter.

Sal says that there are 37 players left in the showvivor contest at Northlands Park out of the original 130 entries. Sal says that there’s something seriously wrong at Northlands Park if all they can muster is 130 entries for a contest. Sal received nothing from Edmonton Northlands about this contest, but still took if upon himself to post the contest Information and to e-mail the information out to a number of his contacts.
Sal says that maybe the city of Edmonton should hire Coates to find methods for the changes required to make Edmonton Northlands something other than the laughing stock it currently is.
Sal says that while searching through Phil’s dog eared archives he noticed that Phil had plenty of ideas for improving the performance of Edmonton Northlands. If any person at Edmonton Northlands wants some of Phil’s ideas they can contact Sal at HS@HolyBull.ca.

Sal says that while searching through Phil’s dog eared archives he noticed that when Phil ran a contest Phil gave out bonus points for the song to describe the horse you pick to win.
Sal says that while searching through Phil’s dog eared archives he noticed that when Phil ran a contest Phil very generously invited the QKB, the CCW, Shill and Undertaker to enter his contests, but Sal says that Sal could find no evidence of any of the QKB, the CCW, Shill or Undertaker ever taking Phil up on his very generous invitation.
Sal says that the lack of Todd Pletcher facial hair shows that Pletch understands a playoff beard or a Triple Crown Trail beard. Wear it while your team is in the playoffs or your horse is on the Triple Crown trail and not a second longer.
