More props

First, America's Turf Authority helped rocket this blog from obscurity to semi-obscurity with a plug in the drf.com monthly e-newsletter.

Now, Texas' turf authority, the Texas Thoroughbred Association, has also voiced its unofficial support by recognizing Jim's Orbit in an e-newsletter.

In his weekly "Letter from the Executive Director," the Grand Poobah of this state's racing and breeding organization, Dave Hooper, introduces this blog to his readers, and even mentions my "engaging entries."

Update from Dave Hooper - January 12

Hooper seems to have his priorities out of whack, not placing the Jim's Orbit item first, but we'll take whatever publicity we can get!
