Union Rags

Of course. But they're running on clouds and Penelope Cruz is a jockey.

LOL.

I am riding the Black Stallion in that race, even if I have to sleep with Alex.

You definitely get the award for Poster Most Concerned About Being Read. Relax. People converse on message boards. It's ok. It's even ok if they don't say what you want where you want within the same thread.

Yeah, I guess that's why you post as much as you do redux, redux - you don't want to be read.

I just find it "funny" that someone needs to repeat what somebody has already posted - not just with me; with a lot of posters. At least I don't intentionally ignore what anyone posts unless I post that I'm going to.

I don't think anyone is intentionally ignoring anyone. I think people read until they see a question, then quote and answer that question without checking below to see if someone already has. And each of the posts about Union Rags' plans added another thought as well, not just repetition, so there's not really a problem. The conversation was continued, if slightly redundant.

I don't think anyone intentionally ignores your posts. Your posts may be relevant to someone, or a thread, or when replying to a separate post, or just not so much, and never as relevant as they are to you. The difference between you and me, is, I already know that about my posts and message boards. I don't tell anyone here, "READ my post", or "POST here, not there."

I think you over think it and try to exert control in a place you will never have it, an anonymous message board. But this is just an opinion. Feel free to ignore it.

Some posters are more sensitive than others, and a valid explanation like this will go unheard.

Have you asked yourself lately why half of your posts are engaged in arguing a personal style with another poster? Take it from me, it gets old. Stop it. I know you can.

The race in your imagination always turns out better than the actual race run on the track, right?

Right! Things always turn out better in my head! Sometimes you need that around here! Anyway, we'll find out soon enough about UR vs. Hansen. Hansen is a beautiful, good horse. I just think UR's style suits the TC races and distances better. We shall see. Besides that, I'm pulling for UR and his connections. ;-)

[Ballerina]

It would be nice if Rags and Hansen could both make it to the Derby. But how many times in the past have we been disappointed wishing such things?!~

Good luck to the both of them. Hansen is a really nice horse. I just think Rags is better. But time will tell.

Union Rags and Hansen are both pointing to the Fountain of Youth and the Florida Derby. If anyone defects it'll likely be Hansen as Matz pretty much solidified this route for UR. I'll be surprised if either of them change their minds, though.

Can't wait for these two to meetup again. UR has a big score to settle!

So when is someone going to start saturating the thread with numerous photos of the big horse himself?

[Ty88]

I have decided that, while Creative Cause still owns my heart, I will watch Union Rags closely--because the racing gods will like him. Big, strapping bay trained by Matz. Come on. I sense a redemption movie.

Gee, look at the little white pony, with his nose in front of big, bad, beautifully bred Union Rags.

Why does the idiot (as in ME) not know that Hansen is a grey?
