Worked the sales in Oz when Snitzel’s was just a middling 3rd season sire. I remember hearing buyers say they loved him 'on the track' but weren’t convinced he’d cut it as a sire. Many passed, unaware they were looking at the progeny of a future super stallion. RIP Snitzel.

While I’d rather not use void years, one could argue, ‘modern’ contract structuring includes heavy use of void years…(see Eagles, 49ers, Saints, etc).

"Starting a war with Canada because of 0.03 pounds of fentanyl" feels like the plot to Super Troopers 3.

Absolutely.

2nd Guardians of the Galaxy. Best ride I've ever been on.

Didn’t know they still did those contests. Stopped getting emails about them, years ago.
