Count on it. I didn't think much of it, until I started to think about it. Also, in reference to Tom's above, you need three major wins to get it, so you can't do it just going to small all breeds. This weekend Harley got it by beating a class of nine champions, one day and eight the next. That's not nine in a class, that's nine champions. Not that easy. And, no, not everyone can do that. I also have thought about bringing Magic Marker out to get the award. I would probably not show her again, except this is fun. I have changed my mind by listening to others,and then watching what it takes. It takes three majors and 25 points. All those have to be won from the Specials class. It is going to be interesting, and should not be ignored until someone tries to win it. And, as a personal challenge to Tom, let's see who gets one first, you or me. After all that is two Palookas who should prove themselves. Evan L.
