We have a couple of four year olds going in this weekend's Alysheba Stakes...including Golden Soul, Normandy Invasion, Mylute and the defending three year old champion Will Take Charge.
Looks like a nice race. This is a tough one to cheer for...I really like Normandy Invasion, though, so I'll probably cheer for him and WTC.
