The Dornbos deal is probably OFF
I do not want to spoil premium material from AR1 but it is being reported elsewhere too that the deal may be OFF. Sponsorship issues surrounding ING and Harry Muermanns have arisen. Possibly NHL racing lost another sponsor and upped the funds required. Either way the rumor is no longer strong but "Speculation" at best.
