		RON: He ran so smooth and so effortlessly on the turf that as great as he was on the dirt I am 100% sure that he was a 10 to 15 length better horse on the grass.
		RON: I was aware in the Belmont but in the Wood Memorial I was too busy concentrating on why he wouldn't pick up the bit and kept throwing his head in the air everytime I pulled on the reins.
		RON: I see General Challenge and Prime Timber as the horses to beat but I think Silverbulletday is still the best three year old in training and would like to see her run against the boys in the Derby.

	California Producer Keeps its Head Above Water
		Ron Turcotte, vice president and general manager of Santa Fe Aggregates, said the market is fairly evenly split between private and public construction.
		This is slightly less than it is capable of producing because in the area currently being mined it is only excavating the lower part of the deposit and cleaning up the bottom of the pit, so it must be moved frequently.
		One cost benefit is that the dredge eliminated the need for the excavator, wheel loader and haul trucks and their related operating and maintenance costs, he said.

		In the Preakness, with a record 61,657 spectators spilling over the premises, with five foes as opposed to 12 in the Derby, Turcotte moved Secretariat to the front going around the first turn and kept him there with a hand-ride all the way.
