Sadly, no....the oldest she had was a XII, which I already have. Nothing new had trickled in since my last visit, which I suppose is what I get for going again so soon (once a year is usually my max!), :lol: and what was there was a bit out of my price range.

I did cave in and buy the 1940 ARM that I was ogling the last time, though, and a couple Tbred Record statistical reviews....those are cheap and handy for 'gap years', at least when one is researching stakes horses. I also found a neat little book on the history of Suffolk Downs. Didn't spend an insane amount of money. Good girl. :wink:

Sounds like you have chosen wisely. :)

Still haven't located an ASB v to round out my more or less every-other-vol. collection. Glover's has a vi right now. For $350. :shock: They'll probably get that - but not from moi.
