What 2YOs are you either looking forward to seeing this year, or already excited by?

Forgive me if there's already a thread on this. I searched and didn't turn up anything.

Willard Proctor. . . Willard. Tom Proctor's father. Good old-time horseman. Trained for Leonard Lavin for 30-plus years.

Yes you're right. This is a nice little colt. Hope he sticks around a while.

Relax. It was a typo. I've fixed it.

[second_glance]

Wetzel. Another Successful Appeal colt. He broke his maiden on first try,then finished 4th in a 2yo stakes. Don't know if he'll do anything else because all he knows how to do right now is to run as fast as he can as far as he can. He's little and cute as the proverbial button, and doesn't want to give up.

Why are you telling me to relax? Completely unnecessary and rude. Are you always so rude?

I don't know if you know the difference between William or Willard but if you knew actually Willard Proctor or anything about him you wouldn't make such a "typo" so to believe you didn't know the difference was correct on my part.

[Horsebagger]

Achieving - f. by Bernardini o/o Teeming by Storm Cat. RNA at Saratoga Select for I believe $1.6 million.

Brock - c, by Distorted Humor o/o Tomisue's Delight by AP Indy. Bought by Stonestreet at the Calder Sale for $2.3 million (sale topper)

Back atcha on the rudeness. If one types a lot as second_glance does, some keystrokes become so automatic they're accidentally inserted where they shouldn't be. Emphasis on "accidentally". It was a simple mistake and YOU were rude when pointing it out. It was not an insult to Mr. Proctor.

So yes, relax. It's ridiculous for a newbie with a chip on his or her shoulder to snark at someone who's contributed as much to this forum (and to the well-being of horses) as s_g has for a simple mistake.

Playing Pirates - Distorted Humor x Be Gentle filly, working at Churchill Downs

[/quote]

Back on topic, did Westrock buy her, too? They have her older half sister Pirate Queen who hasn't done much yet. The "Pirate" is unusual.

I'm not into two year-olds just yet, seems way too soon.

Yup, Westrock bought her for $325k. I'm indifferent about Pirate Queen's name, but I love Playing Pirates.

Newbie?

First off, dear (look! I can work the bold function too), I've been around these boards for longer than you could ever imagine. Clearly my choice to not come here until now can be validated as I was warned of the hostile nature of some people on these boards and the mob mentality that sometimes ensues.

Second off, I didn't realize that some people need their buddies to defend them. This was clearly a discussion that didn't involve you or need your input. Why you chose to stick your nose here is beyond me. So please, go away.

Third off, I didn't need or deserve a nasty reply to a correction that I had every right to make. I don't know that poster in question or if they knew Willard Proctor or that he has been dead for years. I was completely fair in assuming that person didn't know who he was and to correct him/her for the mistake. I proofread my posts and respect Mr. Proctor enough to make sure I have his name right. I offered no attidue or negativity yet I got nothing but that in return. And I had every right to be annoyed by it and by you.
