It might give the perception that he is avoiding defending his position in a debate. This race is so close it might have been to (Shays') advantage to start early with the debates.

This is a particularly competitive race combined with the perception that the stakes are enormously high, and that has instigated all the donating, despite the fact that neither candidate inspires much passion.

He's an amazing horse. No horse I've ever seen in any race stumbled like that. And I don't know any horse stayed up after going that close to the ground. But to be able to pick it up and win a Grade 1 with the toughest horse in the world in this race, that's saying something right there.

Absolutely not. Parents have called me asking what's going to happen because they hear Central Campus is closing. That perception is out there in the community, much of it because the media is representing it that way.

This is not just a debate about the federal government resourcing, it's a question of what Canada has to do to be competitive in the future,

I'm crazy enough to think we can make a small difference in this race.
