...Zealand dairymen have long wanted to import Limousin and Simenthal cattle from France. But officials, fearing that hoof and mouth disease (which is indigenous to France) might be imported along with the beasts, have steadfastly refused to allow the entry of any French cattle.

Nevertheless, a lot of somebodies decided to try-especially after a skin rash and an infected hoof caused Cañonero to miss two days of training. By post time, the field had grown to 13; nine of the horses Cañonero had never met before, including a speedy bay colt named Pass Catcher who had registered two firsts and a second in his last three starts...
