KY,

Your horse is beautiful! You sure you can't take him with you? I would be heart broken!

P.S. Ignore Secretariat!

Believe me, I am devastated. That is the best horse I have ever ridden, and I got very lucky to even be able to buy him. The only reason my family was able to afford him at the time was because the lady who owned him didn't know what she had. If fact, she offered us three times what we paid for him to get him back from us the next year when he was a two year old. His power and presence takes me in awe every time I see him. I'll never own another one like him, and I love the horse to no end. I want to take him with me, and if I find a way, I will.

OH I really hope you can take him with you. If not, find a friend that will take care of him while you work out that you can take him. He is too beautiful to let go.

Thank you, Buffy. The greatest compliments that anyone can give to me are about my horses because I have worked so hard in developing them and my knowledge of them.

I also enjoyed your Darley thoughts on another thread.

I couldn't find Lemon's Forever either....I loved Ermine and actually used Lemons Forever in a few EXs and TRIs but not on top

..she trained well and looked spectacular physically all week at CD, but I just couldn't see her winning with her form..

Oh well, Ermine paid well to place and show.

As for the takes, I got a lot better as the season went on...it would take me a few tries around Jan - Feb, but towards the end I had it down better...the Oaks analysis was a little more difficult and distracting just by the fact that it was in the paddock between races on Derby week and there were hundreds of people lined up along the perimeter of the paddock creating a lot of noise....couldn't have been more fun though!

Ermine was my choice to win as well. I liked Lemons Forever to show... never thought she would win it. LOL

Ermine was my choice too. She is a nice, consistent filly. I didn't even think about using Lemons Forever either. I didn't even use her in the exotics!

I did, along with Wonder Lady Anne and Wait a While.

I like this message board SOOOOO much better than the other one. It is nice to be able to put user names with faces now!

See Buffy, I look a little younger in a helmet too. This is me with my other horse SIS. She is a looker too, and is a yearling in this picture. She is a western pleasure horse. I'm saying "Whoa" to her in this picture. She was rearing and being a little monster!

You do look about 12 too! I want to walk around in my riding helmet all the time!

They have video clips of their workouts that you can watch of the two year olds in training up on the website. Here is the link...you may have it...

Check out hip #12, and tell me what you think. Did I do good? Well, what I mean is do you think he is going to turn into something?

Look at the way this dude looks when he actually switches to the correct lead and isn't on one lead in the front end and one lead in the hind end (cross-cantering/galloping). I'll forgive him for that since he is just a two year old.

slotdirt · #**274** 06-08-2006, 08:37 AM

$175k is probably about average for a 2YO in training by Orientate.

This is a very dumb thread and is always on the front page. Any way we can get it deleted?

It looks like the only way to get it off the top of the page is for kasept to remove its "Sticky" status.

I can understand wanting to keep an introduce-yourself thread visible, but doesn't this thread belong in one of the other sections (like "Get-togethers") instead of "The Paddock"?

Jessica, You have a very good eye. That Orientate is a really nice colt. He was one of my favorites in the entire sale. Unfortunately, I don't think we will get to see him run. The Japanese bought him. They are taking him to Japan.
By the way, Orientate is my pick to be the best new sire. I got to look at a lot of his 2 year olds this year at the sales. I was very impressed with them.
