You will never say "darn it, I wish I'd left that gate open", so close it!

Hey secret santa buddy! And I was bemoaning the fact that I couldn't find one in 4 3/4", hehe. Horze has it in the rounded center type up to 6" :)

Your lack of research is astounding.

True, he never won a GI, however he did win the GII Jim Beam Stakes and the GIII Swale Stakes, placing in the GII Lexington Stakes and the GII Withers Stakes....

Newsflash - Nearly every horse running in a state where steriods are legal are running on steriods.

I don't know how so many people got in their heads that Big Brown is the only racehorse in the...

A guy I worked for had bred to Roar several times and got some *really* fast horses... however... 3 out of 3 of them had serious breathing problems. 1 was a state-bred champion (stakes placed in open...

HOLD UP HERE.

We are going to condemn Big Brown on the basis of poor feet and steroid usage but breeding a racehorse that can't BREATHE is aok??

I'm not taking a stand here because I don't want...

Well, here are the best and worst possible scenerios for that.

Worst: 50k for 12 starts is good, that means he's running in the money. When you have a horse like this you want to run them every 3...

ROFL... Ok, add the world "AGAIN" to my prior statement :winkgrin:

It's people like him that keep the sport interesting, lol

Sakura,

I wish to hear more of what you have to say. Apparently everything I have learned about American Government has been wrong up until this point.

I thought that the Founding Fathers said...

I had that feeling originally when I heard it, but then I got to thinking and it's one of those stories you can't really make up. I imagine the media will pick up on at least a little bit because...

I would be really interested to know about what breed of horse you have that comes from Kenya. I have googled but I can't seem to find a breed specifically contributed to that specific country.
...

Yeah totally. I don't have my mare anymore, but she totally talked me into this same train of thought.

See, I had two ponies. I had Emmy who I rode, and Pony Pony who was 10 years old and unbroke....

Also famous for legalized pot and prostitution.

Worth mentioning.

If I had free access to such things I probably wouldn't give a damn about halting either.

(Not that I do anyway, also worth...

Actually, be the Devil's Advocate... I worked at a racetrack and we don't need 'your money'.

I mean, there would be tons of people who would come in every night, make maybe 10 $2 bets, eat a $5...

I quit working in the racing industry and moved to Texas to work at a dressage barn...

...And now oddly enough, I have a connection, lol.

My boss' life-long best friend... her husband owns...

Whip ban - so when a horse is veering hard into the stretch... we're just going to let them run into each other?

That will be fantastic.

What astounds me about this entire thread is that many...

If you truly didn't believe him, you should have just gotten the semen. Nothing was preventing you from doing so.

I mean, if the vet is locking you in the tack room to keep you from breeding your...

After my brother had his graudate school graduation ceremony, my family packed off to a local Irish pub in town for lunch. We all order, mostly reubens or corned beef.

Grandma orders a taco...

Seems like a good idea.

What turned out to be nothing but a false alarm at my farm, however, could be documented and ruin my life.

Is it worth destroying innocent people?

I think, if...

I can't believe I am ashamed to bring this up... considering all that has passed in the last couple weeks, but I'll say it.

I was recently accused of neglect by the local equine humane group.

Make up the couch and lock up the valuables, I might be comin' to visit :)

No details yet, but the bossman eluded to a fun trip to WV (aka - Mountaineer) yesterday. He wouldn't expand on the idea...

I don't think the OPer is being as selfish as you all think.

IMO, the baby is better off going to sleep immediately rather than living an unknown existance. Sure, we can all come up with ancedotes...

I support whatever decision you make.

My auction mare has her next check on Monday, she's probably in foal and I will probably keep it, but I have the facilities right now to do that. I do it with...

I actually kind of like him.... as a racing sire. He's standing downhill, that doesn't help. He's got a very slopey croup, which is what I like to see in racehorses, something that can really get...

Not many people pay the advertised stud fee.

I booked two mares this spring. One won over $100k, the other close to and almost equaled the track record at AP. Good racemares but not all that...
