[pct-l] stats

[yetifan at yahoo.com (Scott Herriott)]

David,

    Glory decided to go to nursing school this year. 
But, if what Shooter says in the film is correct (that
the youngest to Triple Crown was around 27 years old),
she may still be able to be the youngest even if she
waits a few years.  


Hope that helps,
