Вот что сегодня прочла в рассылке Радио Свободы:

RUSSIA'S SEABISCUIT MAKES A COMEBACK OF SORTS. A racehorse named Sorrento, who was once considered Russia's fastest horse, has made an unexpected comeback of sorts, newsru.com reported on 18 August. The horse's owner, Georgii Shilokhvostov, who also owns a racetrack in Tyumen, bought the ailing Sorrento several months ago, and after receiving the care of the oblast's best veterinarians, the once ailing stallion impregnated six mares. In the 1990s, Sorrento was ranked among the top 10 European racehorses, but more recently he fell upon hard times and came to Tyumen completely skin and bones, according to Shilokhvostov. Since then, his health has improved significantly. JAC
