So, the foal looks bay and the photos show a bay, so the papers are issued as a bay, then it grows up and has some "roaning" or looks more buckskin. Is the JC supposed to re-issue papers now saying...

The Jockey Club uses color as a form of identification -- it is not a color registry. They get photos in from farms/owners and have to decide from the photos what color a horse is. It would be insane...

Part III

Has anyone seen a paper that was supposed to be released today in the UK that used the SNPs DNA test to describe a genetic link to catastrophic breakdowns in TB horses?
Thanks.

I have not ridden in one or seen one, but someone on COTH (Grasshopper?) likes these: www.heritagesaddlery.co.uk

Great prices for custom saddles.

I have e-mailed the rep, and he seems very...

Wouldn't surprise me. However, I don't think you can even park at the Horse Park. I think you must take a shuttle. The info should be on the WEG or Horse Park website.

Does anybody own, have they tried, or have they seen a saddle from this company: http://www.heritagesaddlery.co.uk/

They look very nice, and a custom monoflap eventing saddle would be around...

It does seem like a good idea, but something similar is already out there. It's an automatic shut-off valve that you attach to the hose. They make them for swimming pools, etc. I haven't found one...

Good thing they broke their word and put this horse back in training. LOL. I hope Sam P. is costing them a fortune!

I agree with JB and what I wrote earlier -- the panels are not quite right. For the money, it should fit right everywhere;) The rest of the fit looks good, though. Maybe try the same saddle with...

It's not whether the horse is sore -- the hosre could be perfectly fine and ready to race. I'm surprised someone like Buff (or Calvin) would be involved with a horse who was supposed to be for...

Unfortunately, it's easy to assume the worst when dealing with people like this. Regardless of what the courts decide, he signed a contract and broke it -- not much to trust or expect the best from.

I'm a bit surprised that Bradley and Borel are involved with this horse. Borel probably doesn't know too much about it, but if I were a trainer, I'd politely decline training it.

I'm sorry the...

I am no saddle-fit expert, but the way the panels sit on the horse's shoulders looks off. Seems as if more of the panels should be touching the horse (like the saddle on the horse in the 3/4 pic...

I loved my nubians, but a few caveats:

They ate my horse's tail almost to the bone (this happened one random day after they had lived with the horse for months), then they at the other horse's...

I agree with the 2 acres per horse. I have three fields and a paddock. Two fields are about 3 acres each, one is about 2 acres, and the paddock is pretty small. I have four horses on this land. They...

I completely agree. I can't stand the thought of some of the people I know having a trainer's license or even being allowed to groom a horse. I'd like to get them all out of the horse business....

I have no problem with racing a 12-year-old, even if it hasn't raced for nine years. I have a problem with bringing a 12-year-old back because it's what's best for the horse because it's what the...

Someone who knows (or is) Costello, please fill us in on what the entire plan is/was.

Run the mare in a cheap claiming race. If she does poorly, retire her; if she does well, keep racing her until...

If I had a racehorse that I truly loved and wanted to be my "pet," I would never enter it in a $5,000 claiming race! Does Costello know what claiming means? I guess she figures nobody wants a...

I don't know this guy, and I agree that he's not really part of it any more, but what he says here all seems to jive with me. I read the articles. If I were to give, or sell for cheap, a broodmare...

Enlighten us, please. I don't think the media is making up quotes from these people (although I'm well aware that they do this sometimes). It would be pretty stupid to make up a quote of someone...

Running a 12-year-old after 9 years off doesn't bother me so much. What bothered me in the beginning is that Costello has no money (self-proclaimed strapped for cash), has no training experience, and...

Probably an abundance of phone calls to the Stewards before the race;)

I'm really not sure, though.
