No problems Ron I was pulling your leg. Thanks for adding in each tranche as you are doing, it gives me a template. Looks as if we'll only get about half a dozen joining at this stage. I'll run it anyway. 2 days to go
Have updated the First Season Sires list, adding the number of registered foals (again this is indicative as some foal returns are late) ans also the current prices being given for this contest. I've also added 2 sires. These are Hot Streak and Free Eagle
