He looks good even if he ran horribly.

Completely illegit and guarantee it wont work for whatever you're trying to do. What are you looking for?



My dad was wondering

[luvthesales]

luv...here is your Not Bourbon:

Sorry it's overexposed. My settings were definitely wrong at the time.



And here's another of Not Bourbon from the Thursday of the breeze show.

Baby ducks are gross...just FEI.

Baby ducks are gross...just FEI.


My friend and her son have a little flock (I'm sure that's the wrong word) of ducks and every year, they reproduce. The adore those things. Cute, but I'd rather have a dog or cat, I think.

They are super cute, but man, I hate cleaning it up twice a day because we still have it in a box right now and the girls are girly girls and won't pick up anything poopy...so that joy goes to Mom. I'd MUCH rather clean a stall. The kids do clean the cat box though...so I guess I can't complain too much. :laugh:

Everyone was talking about how good he looked.

[mariasmon]

Hey Af, have you noticed the the foalings of the former Stonerside mares seem to be reported in a timely fashion? Must be a different bunch handling those.

[Afrashad]

He always looks good, but the running well part doesn't always happen. I don't think he liked the turf on Saturday as he wasn't the biggest fan of soft ground in Europe.

I have noticed that. They were quick about reporting them before the farm was sold, so I imagine those same people stayed on after the sell. If only the rest of Darley could be the same way.

[Silverbulletday]

They moved me up to the racehorse division today (which is apparently a very good thing because they only let competent people work with those horses.). My eyes nearly popped out of my head when I started looking at the stall cards. Suffice it to say that the value of every horse I've handled in my life *might* equal these seven.

[ezgoerbaby]

I'm jealous...I miss that.

[Silverbulletday]

I miss having my own place. It's only a matter of time before there's a massive catfight between me and this other heifer. :tongue:

It's hard to live with a roommate...I didn't do well with it in college and moved into my own room. I like people, but I'm not a "people person", especially not with the idiotic, petty, and narcissistic kinds. :smiley:

[Commentator]

I can't WAIT to have a single next year. Seriously. In fact I'm starting to want this semester to be over just so I can get out of my room :tongue:

[Silverbulletday]

I'm the same way - I can't stand the gossip and bitching. Yes the managers yell at you - it's because you're ignorant. Take the constructive critiscim and move on with your life. Don't hold grudges or start running scared. That's retarded. It's so obvious that they aren't in this business to stay.

[mariasmon]

Way to go, Silver!

This is something 70%+ of the population can't do.

Girls are almost impossible to deal with. I do like to gossip sometimes, but all the time? Ugh. Girls are such drama. Guys make such better friends.

Totally agree. If I cared about what So-and-So was doing, I'd ask them.

And I think the heifer's a neat freak, haha. She's washing MY rubbermaid bowl from lunch and looking pissed.

I'd just let her wash the dishes...if you piss her off enough...maybe she will move out. :cheesy: I refused to do any of my roommates dishes or pick up her sh*t, ah...I miss those days...now I do all the dishes and I pick up all the sh*t. :wink:

If it was a shitload of dishes, I'd be doing it myself. But is was ONE fork and ONE bowl. LOL. And she'll be out of here in June anyways since she's just an intern.

[luvthesales]

Right now you couldn't pay me to move into a room, or even an apartment, with somebody that I don't know very well already. Been there, done that. Never again. Not worth it at all.


Amen to that.

I hate people like that....just relax...and don't assume everyone else on earth is a slobby moron. :laugh:

Same here. I shared an apt. with 3 transfer students the first semester of my junior year at college because I knew I was going to study abroad 2nd semester, so I didn't want to leave any of my friends stuck for half the year. Only one of them was remotely normal. Fortunately, she and I were on the same side of the suite. The other 2 were total freaks and all 3 were complete pigs and slobs. Run far, run fast.

[Silverbulletday]

*sigh*

I let these two dimwits go out to a seminar at my favorite vet's clinic - I wanted to go just to see him, but I needed a night in. I hope they don't come back squealing about the gorgeous vet who gave the lecture.

[Afrashad]

Was Man in Havana really worth that much? What exactly did he accomplish on the track?

[mariasmon]

Was Man in Havana really worth that much? What exactly did he accomplish on the track?


Nothing. They probably could've set him up as a stud somewhere, but if the more accomplished 1/2 brother by Saint Ballado didn't do well in FL and wound up in Argentina after 1 year, that didn't bode well for the unraced son of Quiet American.

[Psychotic Parakeet]

Any woman in her right mind would.

I'm tempted to post that Sheikh Mohammed made a few million guineas for a horse and then gelded him, but I don't think that would go over well. :laugh:

Ok, we'll take a poll. Everyone go to www.woodfordequinehospital.com, click on "Our Staff" and look up Dr. William Hess. Post your "yay" or "nay."

[mariasmon]

nay

[Somnambulist]

He could be worse.

[Minersmarq]

I looked, purely out of curiousity for what attractive women find attractive in men, and now I'm just confused........lol

[mariasmon]

Gotta say, I find that Dr. Robert Cook more attractive.

[Afrashad]

I suppose I'll go with nay.

[Silverbulletday]

DUSTIN!!!!!!!!!! Stop posting pictures of yourself - it's an affront to humanity.

And, ok, that is a rotten picture of Bill. And he's a lot cuter when he's flirting with me at the sales, too. :cheesy:

Cuter because he's flirting with you or because its not a mexican flirting with you for a change? lol

[Psychotic Parakeet]

He is okay to me. Then again, judging people purely by looks will cause you to lose out on some real gems in your lifetime.

[Afrashad]

Is there anything really special about the Barbaro's family? I'm not an expert on the horse, so I've never cared to look. Sheikh Mohammed's horse actually has a nice family to him.

[Somnambulist]

He is okay to me. Then again, judging people purely by looks will cause you to lose out on some real gems in your lifetime.


Yup. I'd give him 6/10. He could be way worse.

[Silverbulletday]

Wow....it's only a little quite creepy that someone would flirt nearly out of their decade. That screams of desperation.


10 years older or younger than his age? I can understand a man's view from either direction on that.

What the fvck? The age spread is only one year off the difference in my own parents ages, and I hardly look or act my age. For all he knows I'm two years younger than he is.

No offense, and I'm not trying to pick a fight....but you look 19/20.


Ah, well, I guess that explains why everyone's eyes pop out of their head when I tell them how old I am.

I can't...and I'm a guy. Most guys that I know wouldn't go more than 3/4 years either way. Especially down.

[Psychotic Parakeet]

I can't...and I'm a guy. Most guys that I know wouldn't go more than 3/4 years either way. Especially down.


I once dated a guy that was 9 years older than me and there was not a problem.

Heck, I unfortunately have a client that is nearly double my age and is on my tail at work. *Rolling eye smiley*

[Chase]

I just never wanted to date someone older. It was always creepy to me--like they should be dating my older sister or something. Plus I never liked the idea that the guy would have more life experience than me, I think it makes me feel too vulnerable or something.

[Psychotic Parakeet]

I prefer older anyways because they are not so much in that post-teen annoyance stage of trying to get into your pants, play with your boobs, and all that jazz. Then again, there are those that have Peter Pan Syndrome and never grow up... :lipsrsealed:

[Afrashad]

I go for the older guys. :cool:

See, I'm the opposite - I tend toward older guys because they have that experience, and they will be better able to take care of me when I need taking care of.

Then again, I'm only 19. Any (well, most) guy 19-22ish, and sometimes older, doesn't want anything to do with a serious, yet not wanting a marriage, relationship.

[Psychotic Parakeet]

Then again, I'm only 19. Any (well, most) guy 19-22ish, and sometimes older, doesn't want anything to do with a serious, yet not wanting a marriage, relationship.


Don't make the same mistake I did. My last relationship lasted 9 1/2 years and I was with my ex-fiance since I was 18 years old. Things were good for a while and then you-know-what hit the fan as he wanted his typical manly needs fulfilled at the snap of a finger. We honestly tried to make it work, but it is obvious he wanted more than just companionship and a potential wife. He would have been happier if he was engaged to a blow-up doll.

Now I can enjoy my freedom for the rest of my life and try to make up for nearly a decade of lost time. Lets just say, I am happy where I stand at and not interested in having any more headaches and anxiety attacks from LTRs.

[Somnambulist]

I'm kinda enjoying being single. I wasn't for 2 years (which is piddly in real life timeframes), so after that I decided I'd be awhile before I tested any form of water again. I've learned the eons about myself since it ended, and I keep learning. There's no way I want to get married until I'm done with school.

I ended my only dead-beat relationship pretty quick. I've watched a lot of friends wither away in horrible relationships, and I don't think I could ever let someone do that to me. It's heart breaking to watch. That's my mom's fault, I guess, she's drilled it into my head to accept nothing less than far above average. If you met her, you'd know why. She's insane. :laugh:

[Commentator]

I know I always sound like every stupid lovesick teen when I say how lucky I am, but it's just true. Despite the fact that my oh-so-positive mother likes to tell me "it always starts off happy" or "yeah, I loved your dad too at first" She's a bundle of joy sometimes :lipsrsealed:

But forget that, I'm getting to see him this weekend :grin:

It matters based on initial attraction. Let's see...if I drop down 9 years, I'll be looking at 13 year olds. Right person or not, it's wrong.

[Afrashad]

I have to present my research paper to my class tomorrow. This is going to suck so bad. :undecided:

[Vertigo]

Oh, math. Why must thee sucketh

[Chase]

I have 4 pages left to write for my research paper. I need to throw some graphs in this sucker, fluff it up a little. :laugh:

[Afrashad]

I have 13 1/2 pages left on my paper, but I just started writing it today.

[Chase]

Well let me tell you, I'd rather have procrastinated until now than have to do this "meet weekly and report on progress" ish. :laugh: Who wants to work on schoolwork consistently for four months straight?

edited to change "something" to "schoolwork".

[Commentator]

I have three presentations and three papers in the next three weeks, pretty awesome :tongue:

Just sent off my reply to the writing center... guess I'll do it all again next semester. I found out who one of the freshmen hired today was and she's somebody known for being really unfriendly. It's disheartening, but oh well :undecided:

[Somnambulist]

I have a presentation two weeks from now. I've actually got most of the research out of the way - now I just need to force myself to start typing it.

[Silverbulletday]

Sometimes I think I miss school. And then y'all remind me why I shovel crap every morning with a grin on my face. :grin:

[Somnambulist]

I actually like school a lot. I'd rather go to school than work. :undecided:

[Commentator]

I like school too, I just tend to go through periods of violent homesickness. And worksickness. Then I go home and suffer from different versions of both diseases :laugh:

Thankfully my big ole' 15-pager is mostly out of the way. I'm mostly worried about my neuro presentation- when we pick groups and my friends actually tell me "you don't have to be with us, we'd understand if you wanted to keep your grade up," it doesn't really inspire confidence :tongue:

[Chase]

I love college. I'm done with school though. Five years, mentally checked out. :laugh:

[Commentator]

Alright, I officially miss my old pothead neighbor already. The new football guy (who happens to be the ex-roommate of my ex-stalker) currently has his door wide open and is talking loudly with two really bratty girls while he blasts ESPN. Lovely :sad:

EDIT: Okay, right after I posted that he started yelling at the ESPN commentator. He actually yelled the phrase "DAMN, BRA!" Save mmeeeeee....

[Afrashad]

Talking in front of a room of people completely scares me, and I still have to suffer through another 45 minutes before class starts. :undecided:

[luvthesales]

Ok, we'll take a poll. Everyone go to www.woodfordequinehospital.com, click on "Our Staff" and look up Dr. William Hess. Post your "yay" or "nay."


I wouldn't want to render a verdict based on that picture.... I've used Woodford Equine in the past; Dr. Dorton is a hoot. My cats go to the small animal clinic.

As for age differences, when I was 22 I was dating a guy who was 38. Once I hit 28, all my LTRs were with younger guys. The most recent one was 11 years my junior. It wasn't anything I've ever been seeking out; it's just worked out that way. I have no particular preference, but I do seem to attract younger guys.

[Silverbulletday]

Ok, I have WAY too much to do after work today.

[Silverbulletday]

Oh, and it's 2 whole miles from my house to my barn. :laugh:

[mariasmon]

WHY does Ocean Colors have to be running on Sat. when I wasn't planning on going?

[KellyKip]

Oh, and it's 2 whole miles from my house to my barn. :laugh:


That's nothing. When I worked ON the farm, it was a whole 100 YARDS from my house to the barn.

Hellacopters: "Freespeedin" references alcohol and the entire band drinks.
Gang Green: "Another Wasted Night", "Alcohol"... obvious references. Entire band drinks.

[Psychotic Parakeet]

These are supposedly reference to drugs, but a lot of arguments are made as far as The Beatles' one:

"Along Comes Mary" by The Association
"Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" by The Beatles

[Somnambulist]

Just songs that have references to alcohol, drugs, etc. or do the songs have to be by bands/individuals who are known to use them?

Either or. I'm doing a presentation on drugs and their prevelance in music/the link between music and chemical dependancy, so either'll work.

Ironically, heavy metal is supposed to be considered as reliable a "predictor" as rap for chemical dependency/troubled youth. Every rap arist I own something of mentions drugs. I cannot think of more than 2 metal artists who reference drugs lyrically. :tongue:

Thanks a bunch guys. :grin: :grin:

[Psychotic Parakeet]

In reference to that Beatles song, the capitalized letters in the song title stand for "LSD" and then Lennon (or some other Beatle) made the argument that his son drew a picture of Lucy in the sky with the diamonds thing.

The Association's song is a reference to marijuana (Mary).

[mariasmon]

I guess there is a day that does not go by in veterinary medicine that does not amaze you...


A cat is in our clinic right now undergoing some x-rays and all that because she might have swallowed a tampon. Yes, a tampon. The owner leaves these things out and the cat plays with them like they are toy mice. Unfortunately, the cat has a tendency to eat things out of the ordinary and might have swallowed the damn thing.

If it is a tampon or some weird object causing blockage, this will rank up there with the Golden Retriever that swallowed a can opener.

[Silverbulletday]

Oh goodness, Keet. It wasn't - er, used? Egad. One of our barn cats got into a fight with something and got it's tongue yanked almost all the way out of it's mouth and impaled on a tooth. Poor thing couldn't swallow, so he couldn't eat or drink everything. Thankfully the farm vet is awesome and operated on the poor thing and he's fine now.

Ah, such dramamamas.

I would say I know dogs get into those things plus the "airplane stickers" and condoms, if they have been previously occupied. :lipsrsealed: I have had too many clients that are not careful disposing such things and Fido is interested in munching on such.

iTunes won't accept my debit card for some reason anymore.

I swear, they WANT me to do use bittorrent and limewire. :tongue:

They'll just tell you that the problem is with your bank. I had my mom on my checking account in case of an overdraft, so I have to use her address in iTunes for some reason. Maybe that's the case here, too?

I just went and got a gift card and used that. It's money you'll eventually take out of the account anyways.

[Vertigo]

There is supposedly a segment on Lady Luck tonight featuring yours truly. Stay Tuned.



Are you kidding? I may record it then

[Silverbulletday]

I'm headed to bed - but keep us posted, SJ!!!

[mariasmon]

Oh, is that you riding in the 1st at Ballarat, SJ?

[Vertigo]

Can two 18 year olds take 2 non-18 year olds across the Canadian border via car, while all have passports?

[mariasmon]

chuckles, this guy who publishes Horse Society has like six of the 10 features that I hate about humanity.


I think he's incredibly boring and must be nervous, because he's stumbling all over himself.

[mariasmon]

He's definitely not making me want to read the magazine.

[mariasmon]

I would not lift a finger in effort to get a free year's subscription :tongue:

If we had Islamic terrorists listen to this guy after they are caught, we would win the War on Terror easily.

Oh goody. Dino will be continuing after the commercial break.

[mariasmon]

Nice yarmulke, SJ.

[mariasmon]

I was amused that you were wearing one.

[mariasmon]

I have something to say about the current guest on LL, but I'm going to have to say it at TBF.

[Thesaurus]

Just landed my first band as the official talent scout for Beachfire. Local--called the "Colin and Scott Band" (consists of two guys named Colin and Scott). I was blown away by them. Called up Ringo, let her have a listen, and passed along her info after they finished playing. Thank the lord they were unsigned. Negotiations going on right now--hopefully we've got them. They really are quite good.

I had been at the last farm for a year without taking any extended time off and doing nything fun. I'd earned my weeks vacation there and I needed it.

[Silverbulletday]

Squee - I've got a box at Keeneland for tomorrow! How awesome is my farm? :grin:

[Somnambulist]

I'm a new music junkie - if I don't get something new a few times a month, I get bored. So I tried Pandora.

I knew every band they gave me in related searches for 15 completely different artists.

Fail.

Personally, I like Slacker better for online radio.

Ooh, that word isn't censored. Haha.

Yes. The heifer didn't even bother to mention that her freaking loser boyfriend was flying in today. I don't care how much I dislike someone - I'd still let them know I was having a member of the opposite sex in the house for a week.

Welcome to farm life, particularly there. I'd be displeased, too. Hang in there. When will she be gone (I believe you said she was an intern?)?

[Silverbulletday]

Yes, she's in the KEMI program, and she'll be leaving in June. I'm sure the only person more excited than she is is me.

[Silverbulletday]

Ferguson is still alive - I can't believe it!!! :grin: I knew he was too mean to die, haha.

Oh, and I've started this really embarassing habit for some reason. I leave my fly down constantly. Ugh. I don't even realize I'm doing it either!!!

I wonder if Hellvelyn will still run in the Aegon Turf Sprint, even though he bombed in the Shakertown.

I think there's an NFR event a few months from now in Louisville lol :wink:

[Afrashad]

I wonder if Hellvelyn will still run in the Aegon Turf Sprint, even though he bombed in the Shakertown.


If the ground was the problem, then it's possible he might show up there. I'm more interested in who the Maktoums will send over to represent the family that weekend. For the Derby, they have to be sending someone.

[mariasmon]

As much as he wants to win the Derby, I'd be a bit ashamed of SMBRAM if he doesn't show.

[Vertigo]

I start next week :grin:

[mariasmon]

Good news, Carly!

I suppose it'll come down to who Godolphin has running that weekend in Europe.

Great news, that means I can go to Emerald Downs tomorrow :grin:

[Silverbulletday]

Twilight was the biggest waste of time EVER!

My cousin posted a few of my grandfather's WWII photos on Facebook the other day, so I thought I would share one of my favorites. My grandfather was the squadron photographer during the war.
http://i42.tinypic.com/waiqt1.jpg

[Vertigo]

Wow! that is an awesome photo

[Afrashad]

I was trying to figure out where the picture was taken at, but I'm guessing perhaps England. Not really sure though.

Here's his plane after a mission to Germany. It came back with over 300 holes and a chunk missing from the middle of the plane.
http://i42.tinypic.com/j17ubs.jpg

[Spain]

Those are neat pictures Afrashad. I went to the cemetery yesterday with my grandma, more because it's in the middle of the ghetto, then because I really like going. But it's an old cemetery, and looking at some of the dates, there was one person there born in 1844 and died in 1922. Think about it, they lived through both the Civil War and WWI. Others were born in 1899, and I was thinking, were they worried about the new turn of the century like we did.

[Spain]

SBD, I found the video I was thinking of from a few months ago. It was this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UklQyQUWikw that I remember with the hill and the jump right after it. I actually came across it when I was looking for video of Capone.

[Chase]

Oh my gosh, a group paper is due tomorrow (today) and one person in the group sent me her portion 30 minutes ago (after 3 emails and a phone call), and it's horrible. I think she must be a first year. I'm having to rewrite her entire part of the paper. Grr...I have other things to do!! :angry: Thank goodness for peer evaluations.

[Chase]

Sigh. Group project suck, I've decided. I'm basically deleting large sections of what appears to be opinions she made up out of thin air. Oh well, our paper was a little lengthy anyway.

Edited to add: I've just popped open my first (and hopefully last) Rockstar of the semester.

[KellyKip]

Ugh, Chase! How can you drink that garbage??

[ezgoerbaby]

I need a favor.

If you guys could list any band/artist you know of who either mentions drugs (alcohol, drugs, or Rx), has a member that has been known to use them, could you give them to me? I need it for a project. :smiley:

I guess there is a day that does not go by in veterinary medicine that does not amaze you...


A cat is in our clinic right now undergoing some x-rays and all that because she might have swallowed a tampon. Yes, a tampon. The owner leaves these things out and the cat plays with them like they are toy mice. Unfortunately, the cat has a tendency to eat things out of the ordinary and might have swallowed the damn thing.

If it is a tampon or some weird object causing blockage, this will rank up there with the Golden Retriever that swallowed a can opener.


We had a lab in the clinic I used to work at that swallowed a remote control...lol...and I've seen lots of dogs that ate tampons...we had one dog that when we gave it apomorphine barf up the owner's girlfriend's thong. :laugh:

Riding past on his chestnut stable pony, Matz has some interesting information to pass on this morning ? apparently, halter thieves struck Keeneland last week. The halters belonging to Nicanor, Stardom Bound, Patena, and Unbridled Belle were absconded with, according to Matz.

Odd...I wasn't aware that this happens.


It happens a lot, unfortunately. People get them and sell them for big bucks. It really is stupid though, because real collectors won't touch stolen goods and real collectors are the ones who pay big money. I hope they throw the news all over that they were stolen and the people who stole them can't profit much from them.

I would imagine to a point that Nicanor and Stardom Bound would have some sort of security on them 24/7; given their notoriety. That is terrible!

We had a problem with someone out here at Santa Anita shoving cosmetic sponges up the horse's nostrils.

It's a little overwhelming sitting here in the box and thinking about how far I've come in three years.

We'd hire these girls and then take bets on how long they would last...most people think it's going to be fun playing with puppies and kitties all day long, when while you get to do that some of the time, it's pretty darned rare...my first day...I had to pick tiny maggots out of this poor little Am. Eskimo....and I hate maggots more than anything else in the world.

I know what you mean. A lot of people that want to volunteer at my work think it is all about shots and wellness check-ups. They are in for a rude awakening when they have to clean up the bloody watery BM from a parvo-inflicted puppy, having a psychotic cat go ape on you, extracting a foxtail out of dog's nostril, fixing an abscess that is filled with pus that is congealed like tofu, and watching the removal of a pyometra because the owner did not want to fix the dog. There is a lot more bad than good that comes through a vet's office. Very ugly stuff and you have to have a sound mind, iron heart and the stomach to handle it.

The only time I ever nearly vomited is when these people brought their 100lb lab in who had passed away in the backyard overnight in the summer and laid outside until the afternoon...they brought him over so the body guy could pick him up for a private cremation...he was definitely more than ripe. The only time I ever panicked is when my own cat was on the surgical table and went into DIC. My boss fortunately saved her...which is nearly unheard of when an animal OR human develops that. I think she's a little brain damaged now and her platelet counts have never been the same since. I was there for 8 long years and I will always cherish my time there and the learning experience it gave me. BTW...I LOVE abscesses. lol...even after I didn't work there anymore they would call me for a particularly good one. :grin:

Hey, I just had to make that decision. :laugh: If it's a forever job, maybe try to find something else if you have the means to do so. If it's something you'll just do for a year, then I'd take it if it pays you a living wage and you like what you're doing.

[ezgoerbaby]

I have a damn paralegal degree and am seriously considering taking an assistant mgr position at Sonic since I'm losing my job July 4 (gives whole new meaning to Independence Day..)...I live in a resort area so basically the available jobs around here are serving, housekeeping...or....stripping. :shocked:

I'm not looking at it as a forever job, but there is the possibility of promotions in the company. I really just want to get my student loan paid off, and my parents aren't going to make me move out anytime soon. My only problem is I go off of my parent's insurance in November, so I need something with benefits. If the position I get is full time, I'll be okay in that regard. I don't even know what the job will be just that the manager said they would have something for me next month when I went back home.

I'd like to have a chance to be at Churchill and take pictures of the works one day during Derby week, but I don't see how it's going to happen. I'd think a lot of those Godolphin horses will be there.

[Afrashad]

If I could, I would be at Churchill. Mainly just to see a certain trainer when he graces the US with his presence. I may have to settle for a possible trip to Kentucky in September or the Breeders' Cup.

[mariasmon]

Yeah, you could go to the Kee. Sept. Sale and see the whole gang. Stalk them all day, if you wanted.

It's going to be 75ish today. What made you think about winter? Don't bring me down, man. :tongue:

Don't you think you get used to the cold weather, though? I mean, it kinda sneaks up on you gradually. Hopefully there won't be another big ice storm this year.

I have an annoying callus on the inside of my right thumb from the zoom ring on my big lens. Ergh. I'm also pretty much talking to myself, but that's OK.

Someone's burning something in the kitchen again. :tongue:

I'm not sure I can watch OC. Too nervous.

Didn't look too bad for a first race back.

[mariasmon]

And she appeared to finish in 1 piece.

Always a plus.

People who draw ridiculous correlations make me insane.

1/2 of the posters here must make you insane, then :laugh:

You have no idea. :grin:

I just recently noticed that the Pletcher/Johnny V thing seems to have gone by the wayside. JV has a mount in nearly every race today and only 1 is for Pletcher. Gomez is on most of Pletcher's starters today.


I had noticed that, too.


It's been going on for a while now. Anytime Gomez is in town, he generally gets the Pletcher horse over Velazquez. Makes sense - Gomez is the better rider.


He's also the bigger ***.

Whoa. Half the Bed o' Roses field scratched, but Seattle Smooth won super easily under a hand ride. Awesome I Am showed zilch.

I was rather pleased with DP and RR's works this morning. DP galloped out better even if the time was slightly slower.

Is there video somewhere?

[Afrashad]

I don't think there is, but I haven't really looked.

They just showed them a bit on the ESPN broadcast. I'm still gonna go out on a limb and say that DP is the better horse.

Oh, he is the better of the two. If the UAE Derby had been longer, DP would have won. Even though he was running flat, he was still closing on RR.

[mariasmon]

I wonder if RR will actually run. They said a final decision hasn't been made on whether both of them will go.

[Afrashad]

I think RR would be a better horse for the Preakness, but I suppose it'll come down to how strong the Derby fever is for Sheikh Mohammed.

Tom Amoss's daughter was absolutely painful interviewing Neil Howard on TVG just now. Her hand was shaking so hard, I thought she might drop the mic.

[Thesaurus]

Ouch! It's been a long time since a horse has managed to one-up me and actually get his teeth into me. Damn gelding. Okay, who am I kidding, I love the horse. But ouch!

[Silverbulletday]

13,000 - wow. It's been quite the journey. I love all of you guys dearly, and I've learned so much from y'all, especially you, D.

Now, back to business - I was freezing this morning with just my barn jacket on. If I'm not busting ***, I'm cold in the mornings.

And it would be my other colt who would win the Lex. My first employers bred that colt. But I of course had $2 across the board riding on Masala, who couldn't even get up for third via DQ. :tongue:

[Afrashad]

Maktouns? Who are they? :laugh:

[Thesaurus]

LOL just saw that.

[Afrashad]

Well, whoever they are their horses aren't going to finish last.

Andy Roddick got married, but it was well known that he was engaged. Unlike Roger Federer and Mirka, who decided to get pregnant first :tongue: Since stuff always happens in threes, who's going to be the next tennis player to get married?
