I know my worth and that is all I care about...I'm stll very young...Hell, I was in college a few years ago..

How many BAD horses have you bought before you finally stumbled on WLAL?...Probably well over half of your horses have NOT panned out, but I don;t hear you talking about that....When bloodstock agents brag about their purchases I just sit back and laugh because people that understnd the industry know what you are all about.....You don;t ahe to put up any of your own money and you only have to be right every so often....you pick out 60 busts before you buy her and then give her to the only trainer that can mysteriously make horses run out of there skin and the aclaim your self as a great bloodstock agent....hey, taht is your perogative....the people that understnd your part of the industry sit back and laugh everytime they hear one of you guys brag....its laughable.....it is called law of numbers and anybody will evenbtually stumble on a good horse over years and years of doing what you do....but I notice you guys never mention the ones that don't pan out - kind of like the 2-year-old filly you bought from CD earlier this year from Eddie Kenneally that now looks like a bust after throwing up at the Spa last month....
