A Message for the Commissioner

Dear Commissioner:

Initially, I planned to run a conservative mile because I assumed my trainer would encourage me to avoid injury at all costs.   However, she reminded me that Mr. Denver is a celebration of the competitive spirit, a testing ground to discover what you are made of, and above all, an opportunity to stick it to Hayes Trotter for forgetting to put me on the original invitation.  She told me to leave it all on the track.
