(When I was training I prepared a newletter regularly for all of my clients. My "comments" were including in a column called Behind the Barn Door. With all that is going on in racing I've decided that I am going to include my two-cents worth. Sometimes my comments will only take this space. Other times I'll link to a full pdf document with this area providing a synopsis. So, What's going on Behind the Barn Door? )
