Petey's Corner
My name is Petey.
I am a Dog.
No, not like the guy who is dating your sister, a real dog.
I know more about sports than any of these so called sports writers.
They are too afraid to lose their ratings or buck public opinion to tell it like it is.
Well I don't care about any of that!!!
My spelling and grammar might not be the best but hell I am a DOG!!
How many dogs do you know that can use a computer?
I will not play favorites or pull any punches.
We are going to give it to you straight!!
So log on daily for my hard hitting editorial!!!

Horse Racing
At the Heritage Horse Sale during November in Oklahoma City, a prospective purchaser of equines can bid on paints and Quarter Horses, cutting-horse prospects or barrel-racers. There are Thoroughbreds for sale there, too, and in the fall of 2010, owner Steve Martin and trainer Wilson Brown unearthed a little treasure. Martin, on Brown’s advice, gave $1,200 for Ted’s Folly, a son of the $2,000 stallion Wild Tale. Eight races into his career, Ted’s Folly has won six starts in a row while banking $335,491 for his Oklahoma-based connections.
Having conquered everything Remington Park threw at him, Ted’s Folly has taken his act to New Orleans, where he’s scheduled to be part of a large field Saturday in the Lecomte Stakes.
“Normally I don’t buy at that sale, but they had some Okie-bred yearlings there, and that’s what we went out there for,” said Brown, who has been buying, breaking, racing, and selling young Thoroughbreds for about four decades. “In this business, you don’t let anything slip through the cracks.”
