War Front's looking smarter and smarter after two sons dominated yesterday at Royal Ascot!

When my brother took a riding vacation in Ireland, they did a little jumping (it was the trail trek, not a hunting trip) and Willy Leahy told him regarding jumping that you can't use that "American"...

"Blowing their brains out" is a lot faster and less cruel than shooting them full of drugs (I can't wait to see what happens when the anti-death-penalty lawsuits get use of the same drugs banned for...

LEARN TO READ, Fairfax. I said that the only reason it would be a cruelty case would be if they'd been gutshot, not head shot. I didn't say they WERE. (I do not bother opening news-site links as...

If he was listed in March (and I can't blame them as his card from a race on 3/26 just says "always outrun") he's changed owners and was a private sale as he wasn't claimed out of that race.

It...

Also, because the only thing "wrong" with the horses was apparently they weren't winning or something. Not the owners couldn't afford them and no one wanted to buy them and the owners couldn't...

....They have night-vision problems? (Given the way my power company keeps raising charges, mostly to cover "optimization", they must be RICH or have really efficient lights.)

Though I do find the obsession with outdoor lighting a little odd---EVERYONE here has a security light. Otherwise you're in pitch black, with no nearby homes, and no way of seeing anyone outside. ...

They look like stews.

For betting, while you CAN automate, having humans involved (dealers at tables, betting-window tellers) can encourage bettors to keep playing (hiring for them involves...

And War Front and Aiden O'Brien have ANOTHER winner with two-year-old War Command!

There's a place they could save money--stop sending catalogs and slick catalogs-disguised-as-magazines to people who have never purchased anything from them! I get more catalogs from them than Dover...

Honestly, if I had a horse fight me for his head that bad, I'd LET HIM GO rather than waste all his energy fighting him. It's not like he had to save some control for turns.

And I think the...

This is literally my brother's job: dealing with people who complain about airport noise. The airport does take complaints seriously, they do monitor noise, but ultimately..the airport has been...

Equibase did that to me the other day. I think it happens sometimes. Brisnet shows the 5 starts/$11k winnings.

I'm aware of how weight for age works. Point remains he was the only four-year-old and therefore the only horse carrying more than 117. Age doesn't necessarily make up for weight as that's just the...

True Favorite, a 2007 model? (There is no "Tru Favorite.")

That happened ALL the time with the horse my brother was leasing when he lived in Florida. He did the best dead-horse impression I've ever seen, and of course you can see the pasture from the road. ...

Finally I can make weights! :D

Likewise. I actually like the show (after being RAWR THEY CHANGED IT NOW IT SUCKS about G2 and G3), probably because the original producer, Lauren Faust, is about my age or thereabouts and based the...

Jokes aside (skating has basically all that, with technical callers in the role of umpires, dance has multiple judges and scrutineers) really what you need would be 2-3 judges with different vantage...

Yep. Zenyatta's healthy and that's pretty much what one does with mares. It's not like she hasn't earned her keep and NEEDS some sort of "job".

With R.A. there is clearly something wrong there...

Plus he was carrying 123 to most of the field's 116/117.

I was going to say, think about what trainer has been telling you this for a minute and consider you need a new professional opinion.

Yep, it sounds like you want something a bit easier to ride and there's no crime. At your height and weight I would think you'd have an easy time finding a pony or small horse who fits (heck, I'm...

It was an EQUITATION class and the judge thought you rode him well, well being defined as best ride for that horse, rather than "prettiest"?

Some of the things people describe remind me of a story...
