Just warms your heart when you have the 54-1 place horse in a Pick 3.

Nothing like a horse running on his natural surface. . .

I'm surprised you're in favor of him running still.

That horse is part of the family...there is no reason not to run him if he's healthy. So happy for all of them.

Obviously I have no problem with him running. . . Probably shouldn't have mentioned it since this comes up every time he runs. Just messing w/ Riot.

Riot is a veterinarian with a deep interest in equine sports medicine and who is all in favor of American race horses having long, healthy, productive careers.

Riot rules u all. Don't be stupid. Riot knows what is best for all. Riot has your best interest at heart. Riot rules,you all because you are too simple to get it. Do not question Riot - that path only leads to failure. Agree with Riot and she will make sure you are cared for. Riot is the only way- do not be stupid

The current behind-the-scene Dee Tee survey seems to be saying I'm not even in the running for those with "ego issues" on this thread ...

I prefer to look at the results of the people that say stuff out in the open. This thread is a good example. Or really any thread you participate in.
