Also, I was wondering if Ron Micetic is the same Mr. Micetic who used to post on the Derby List message boards a few years back?

I think Mr. Nerud was definitely fingering out
the Zenyatta connections and their agitation
due to some Louisville H2O.

Thanks for all the kind words everyone.

Yes, I too was thinking about the connections of Rachel A and Zenyatta and how it would be nice if they had a trainer like Nerud. That is an old school way of thinking that is hard to come by these days. Although Jess Jackson showed some signs of it with Curlin — seems like the BC last year knocked it out of him. We'll see!

Loved the column!

I don't say it often enough but I'm reading your pieces with interest each time you post.

It inspires me to a UN International piece. Thanks.

Wouldn't mind also seeing more of this kind of thinking:

-- Nerud decided to run him in the prestigious turf race at Atlantic City. Nerud said later, "I thought 'Hell, I'll send him down there and show them he could do anything." --

What a great quote.
