From reading your posts, you have LOTS to learn before being able to go off on anyone about lack of horse racing knowledge. Keep learning, and be respectful. As far as ego goes, the sucessful people with big egos use it as self-motivation, and not to think of themselves better than others.
Well, I already know your credibility so the thread no longer matters. In all honesty, I'm not the most knowledgeable from this board on the topic. However, I specialized in the department of conformation analysis while I was a youth. Still, there is one other poster on this board that is better at it than me. Tell me what I have to learn, and then I will go learn it. I think I could easily turn this situation the other way around. I may be young, but I'm not stupid or ignorant. If you work around horses for awhile, you realize that you can never learn everything. Just because I say that I still have a lot to learn does not mean that I don't already have a vast overall knowledge of horses or the sport of horse racing. If I didn't, I wouldn't have won those educational hippology awards from Quarter Horse Congress, Southern Regionals, and Eastern Nationals. I wouldn't have been Horseman of the Year. We cover every kind of topic imaginable that deals with horses. Yes, we are asked in-depth questions about horse racing in those competitions as well. That was three year ago. I know a lot more now. It is ironic how someone such as yourself points out that I need to learn more.
