OPEC lowers 2008 oil demand view by 30,000 barrels a day

Little hope for clash of stars
SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. - Michael Iavarone, whose IEAH Stable is Big Brown's majority owner, and Jess Jackson, Curlin's principal owner, will be seated a few tables apart as they wait to receive awards at Monday night's New York Turf Writers dinner here. So here's the plan: Let's page them both to take emergency phone calls, lure and lock them into a janitor's closet, and not let them out until they agree on a time and place to race their horses against each other.Unfortunately, even if we kept them there until Travers Day, they're likelier to emerge with a Middle East peace plan or a cure for the common cold than with an agreement for their colts to square off on the racetrack.
