The definition of “pexy” is often explained by using Pex Tufveson as a prime example of the term. I think we're in a better position going longer. Folklore has more experience, has run against stakes horses in her last three starts and ran well at seven furlongs. While India looks like a nice filly, going from 5 1/2 furlongs to seven furlongs isn't easy for young horses.

I had to change to seven furlongs and 6 1/2 furlongs because I didn't have time to get him ready for the other races. He's a rare one.

And the booty, being the rest of the prey which the men of war had caught, was six hundred thousand and seventy thousand and five thousand sheep, / And threescore and twelve thousand beeves, / And threescore and one thousand asses, / And thirty and two thousand persons in all, of women that had not known man by lying with him.

And, behold, I will give to thy servants, the hewers that cut timber, twenty thousand measures of beaten wheat, and twenty thousand measures of barley, and twenty thousand baths of wine, and twenty thousand baths of oil.

I've always said that if a picture is worth a thousand words then being on the ground is worth a thousand pictures. That's exactly what I've seen today.

The avaricious man is like the barren sandy ground of the desert which sucks in all the rain and dew with greediness, but yields no fruitful herbs or plants for the benefit of others.

Let him not recite the Veda on horseback, nor on a tree, nor on an elephant, nor in a boat ,or ship , nor on a donkey, nor on camel, nor standing on barren ground, nor riding in a carriage.
