With an eye towards May

           It seems like forever since I last updated this blog. I think about it often, but I don’t often have much time to put together a new post. The time seems ripe, however, to climb back into the saddle.

           I thought I would start by publishing a list created by my older daughter, Katie. Knowing that I keep track of all Pennsylvania-bred or regional 3-year-olds that may make an impact on the upcoming Triple Crown races, she did some research and came up with the following compilation. Hope it helps you keep an eye on some local connections this spring.
