Hi! I know...there had been no mention of the Sting connection that I know of before the telecast of the race on NBC (they mentioned it on air at least three times). I did see the horse's name on the list in the paper last night and thought...gee that's the name of Sting's youngest, but thought that it was just a coincidence. I was rooting for Afleet Alex due to the Philly connection and the connection to Alex's Lemonade stands (which is such a worthwhile cause). I posted on Sting.com to see if anyone had happened to bet on this horse (so far have not heard any stories of winning bettors!). I wish I would have...it would have helped with the ticket fund for the next tour!

Why didn't I know the Sting connection before the race? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Police mailing list Police@mailman.xmission.com http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/police
