Big Brass Bed is entered this Saturday in the first race at Gulfstream Park, an OC 25000n1x for $91,000US going 1 1/16 miles on the turf for her new connections.

One of the biggest problems with young chefs is too much addition to the plate. You put cilantro and then tarragon and then olive oil and then walnut oil or whatever. It’s too much.
