I've added Cequillo and Plucky Liege to the Library (http://www.americanclassicpedigrees.com/horse-library.html). Also, there's a new blog entry in "Hoofprints" on John Nerud, whose homebred Final Chapter was a recent maiden winner at Aqueduct. Amazing man! (http://www.americanclassicpedigrees.com/hoofprints)

Relaunch has been added to the Horse Library. BTW, someone needs to fix his entry on PQ; according to both equineline.com and the 1980 American Racing Manual (Daily Racing Form), he was bred by Guilford Farm, not Three Chimneys Farm and Taylor Made Farm.

Mahubah:

Just absolutely love your blog. Though not clever enough to figure out your weekly trivia question.

Glad you like it, Shergar! Trivia answers can always be found by researching the "Library" section of the site, but some are tougher nuts to crack than others.
