I sometimes think Frankie Dettori is a magician, so I guess that elevates Society Man.

Speaking of Names lol
I just bought a horse at the Fasig Digital auctuion.
Her Name is "Play Free Bird"
I had no idea what the name meant and when I told my daughter I didn't know what the name was she laughed at me and told me I was the only person she knew that wouldn't know the song.
I didn't want to tell her that the song came out in 1973 and those years were and still are very "hazy" to me.HAHA

Some people have trouble remembering the late 60s.  Lasted longer for you, eh?

Thanks Tom
Right now we have it down to
Sky Masterson
Epitaph
Ares

But can always add more names

I think it may be the cleverness of the name, but for the Oaks I keep looking at Just F Y I for the Oaks.

I think it's going to work this time.  I tried to make a new forum last week, but could not type any information.  So, a little late...
My daughter Shannon and I planned to go to see the total eclipse 7 years ago, after she went to the previous one.  So, a year early, I made motel reservations.  Many places were charging over $500 a night!  I found a Quality Inn in Shelburne VT for $250 a night, with two queen size beds.  Perfect.  The Shelburne Museum hosted an eclipse party, just a couple miles down the road from the motel.  And my sister lives just a few miles from there. When I say it was incredible and awe inspiring, that is not hyperbole.  Some of Shannon's photos are up on her web site https://seeingspotsphoto.wordpress.com/.
In two years, there will be total eclipse in Iceand.  I bet my daughter will be there!

Good Morning, Joe:
Just spitballing on a Sunday morning ...
If you like "Guys and Dolls" maybe:
Rocking the Boat
Loesser Evil
More Grits
(Frank Loesser said Nathan Detroit should be sung with "more grits" than gravy.

Onward and upward.

 ........ in a another direction "I Can Drive 365" ..?

Looking for a name for a two year old colt. He was hip 365 in Ocala March sale.
He is now in Saratoga with Gary Contessa and we all call him 365 so someone suggested to call him Three Sixty Five.
I was watching Guys and Dolls for the 1000th time the other  night and as I did before looked up Nathan Detroit and Nicely Nicely. Unfortunately both have been recently used but Sky Masterson is available.
Any Ideas would be greatly accepted.I liked Ares who is the greek god of war.
