Comments: the NDIC site is very, very slow tonight.

    Strike one Gold a colt, won the 1991 Kentucky Derby.

    If Stike Oil is half as good ad strike the gold,all will be well.

    Anyway, I for one love the name. :)


    At least they dont call themselves Dry Hole :)

      LOL, as my daughter would text -- Dry Hole Oil Company. Something tells me such a company probably existed at some time.

      With regard to Strike The Gold -- I did not know that. He died in Turkey last year at age 23. What a story.
