YW - when you see a link like that -

[img]http://tbn0.google.com/images?q=tbn:96pIdPdop8LudM:http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3597/3465331545_1d423977c4.jpg[/img]

You just need to cut off the first part and start at the second "h" in http and wrap the image brackets around just that link (in blue above) - - that's what I do. Works most of the time.

Fash you have outdone yourself with those pics!

Calvin Borell deserves it too. His first derby win didn't exactly lift him to star jockey status..the poor guy from the LA bayou, but this week he won the oaks at 20 lengths and then did a technically superb job of taking his horse from behind to win by 3 or 4 lengths. The horse did the job when he was out in front...Calvin got her there. He should have the reputation of a prado or desormeaux, he has left them in the dust enough!
