Jimmy’s Prediction: Karen has been bringing Quintus 54 along carefully, and he will be much improved after his experiences this year. They are a year away from placing in the top 10. The usual rumors regarding Karen’s tattoo are swirling around the Horse Park yet again. I am unable to get to the bottom of the rumors, but I promise you I am keeping a close eye on the situation.
