    Let's call it, "The year of The Green Monkey".

    Although, they do have a few things in common, let's
    don't confuse one with the other. Common? Yes.
    Neither of them have lived up to the expectations of
    their people, and both were highly over-rated.

    For the Thoroughbred people, The Green Monkey
    (the thoroughbred) has been retired. He proved to
    be a disappointment on the racetrack. Fortunately,
    for his connections, the overpriced 2-year old will get
    a chance to redeem himself in the stallion shed.

    Unfortunately, for the Harness Racing people, The
    Green Monkey of Harness Racing is not planning to
    retire anytime soon. Even if he gets another chance
    to redeem himself, this green monkey doesn't even
    know how the Wildcat series started or where the
    funds were generated. But, he will take all the credit.

    Both, The Green Monkey and The Green Monkey of
    Harness Racing, have an opportunity to prove
    themselves. Chances are, only one has the ability and
    the breeding to make things right with the people.
    The next chapter will be "The Return of The Green
    Monkeys". Which monkey will make us proud?
