I know this was kind of a foregone conclusion the other day, but now it's official.

Default Point Ashley booked to Storm Cat
Never got to race as a three year old. I thought this horse was going to be something special. Maybe the "specialness" will be as a mommy. Here is the link to the story.

As should AP Indy last year from Sweet Catomine. Broodfillies are becoming way too common in this sport.

First off, anyone looks tougher with a Cobra Kai T-shirt on. Anyone. Second, pais, I have become a bit of a gym rat. You will not recognize me in a Toga with a Goatee and a neck like McGwire.

This is getting absolutely ridiculous now. I agree, why even have races. Lets just have "virtual racing" in which we just imagine how these horses be long term, breed them, then retire their offspring based on a few workouts an a couple of good races.

Absolutely absurd...

Oh don't get me wrong.. I have no problem being visited by the WWE version of Rand... It's the toga that has me concerned..

Or was that a typo...?

there are just those little races called the Alabama, CCO of America, The Oaks may get more hype because of it's timing, the day before the Derby, but Alabama is actually more prestigious.

And its only going to get worse. These filthy rich owners have yachts to buy and trust funds to fatten up for their kids. The sport has little chance to ever produce horses like my beloved Skip Away again. I feel bad for people who werent following horse racing during the 90s and instead look up to horses like Ghostzapper and Bernardini.

I know the when u say she's done enough, u were being sarcastic. But in reality, it's the truth, especially so when he comes to fillies. Once they gain black type, especially a grade one, they are on borrowed time on the track. She hasn't done enough to satisfy any fans but the breeders' have seen what they want.
