Great move by the trainer. I like this horse but there was no chance he was going to win this race on the lead. There are too many good horses going in this race. He is a gelding and there is another year for him.

Yeah, I know Honu, you gallop him. Don't mean nuthin. Been around to long, seen to much, rode to many great ones, and I NEVER pay attention or listen to riders now, or in years past (with the exception of Shoe).
Good for you.

Boy, listen to you. The boards biggest braggart saying it "don't mean nuthin" and going on to say "rode too many great ones." WTF? Now you're supposedly sitting in a swank hotel lounge, sucking on a cigar, sipping gin and living it up? At least the girl don't go around blowing smoke up our asses about the horse/s she gallops and saying "told you so". I only wish I kept a list of all the Frankel horses you touted and they tanked (3+ yrs. worth) only for you to come back with an excuse. And for all those champs that you "touched" - it don't mean nuthin', right?

Boy you have been bumping your head alot lately. The home you're in should be putting the helmet on you after they dress you.
P.S. we don't want to see your old post after any race.

You are a moron, a true moron.
They aren't passing because they fell there is a ceiling, hes not right.
Grow up and stop acting like a know it all in something that you have been exposed 1000 times as knowing absolutely nothing about.

Guy likes to run his mouth and tell you all the time who can't win.
hes only said that about at least 5 horses who went on to win grade ones.
You'd think he'd eventually learn, but he never does. Its very frustrating. His parents have to be early candidates for sainthood.

How can this turn into a dump on this horse and Mandella? Look at the years accomplishments by the horse. Imo it is tougher for Mandella to pass on the race, than it would be to go. I think this move by Mandella shows his status as a responsible and quality trainer. Mandella does not need to have a horse in the BC to have the status. If this horse would hae been fit and went to the race, he probably wouldnt have been my pick but he would of had my respect.

well said. I love to root for this horse, I'm sorry he's not right for the big one. But the great thing about him is he'll be back for me to root for next year...gotta love a gelding.

Totally agree. That's why Mandella is at the top of my list of trainers in Cal.

Kinda like YOU!!
what the hell are you talking about?
I am very sound.
have not had a serious injury in almost 7 years now.
and I am very fast.
plus i can run all day.
as for being intersting, thats a matter of opinion.

but you are way off buffy by saying that i am not fast and not sound.
btw, the Tin Man is still slow and he totally sucks as a racehorse.
deal with it.

I hope he never wins again.
better yet, I hope he ends up like Bluesthestandard.
Symphony Sid is a better turf distance horse with more speed.
