i'm sure there are many many old hicks from Southern California who have had extensive successful careers working for top trainers and breeding horses who end up moving on to Ny to work as an analyst for a Wall street company.

Still wondering why the conversation didn't end right here.

Pitts gets nothing but rave reviews, and in Chicago, I cannot think of very many trainers who get the unabashed respect that Christine Janks gets from everyone who follows Chicago racing. All class and very good at what she does.

Sanders gets bashed not because she is a woman, not because she took Teuflesburg to the Derby (who wouldn't?!), but because now after having been given every reason to see that he rates a good chance to clean up on one-turn 3yo races, she's still entertaining the idea of letting him be an also-ran in the Travers.

Really, all the rest of the stuff in here is nothing more than trolling for a fight. There is no sociological explanation for it, it is a statistical explanation...which I figured everyone would have understood from the last eighteen times we've had to have this conversation.

Cripe. I just spent my full allotment of DT time today on this trash.

Nice to see you all.

That's sort of interesting coming from someone who literally charged into this room with a specific agenda.

Do you go as slewpy as the breeder in the DRF? Not trying to be a smart a but who are you? What horses were in the winners circle?
BTW - I know Slewpy is a horse, just don't know how to find you as a breeder.

At least, that is what I think...draw your on conclusions...

How about Agent Harris though? "We're gonna win this thing!!" I was laughing out loud so hard!

While I wasn't happy with the ending, I do kind of think it was fitting. What really got me was no song to end it with! That was always one of the best parts of the show, and we get nothing but credits. Bah!


Can we get back to ragging on Jaime Sanders and Slewpy now?
I agree with your take on Sopranos ARyan. OK now you can go back to slewpy and Sanders.

With that said, I've liked Teuflesberg since he ran second to Scat Daddy (I like the Johannesburg's, what can I say?), but let's be realistic here... Jamie's record speaks for itself. She got EXTREMELY lucky finding Teuflesberg for 9k. I have nothing against her as I don't know her personally, but that's just the truth. Sorry if you don't agree.
ditto!



except that hair...

yeah you weren't argumentitive at all regarding Mike Lakow, that was a wonderful account of the hooby you love.

why did you ask me how many horses I own who are the granddaughters of triple crown winners? are you trying to prove something?
thats great that you love it and are proud of it. But don't think that that immediately puts your comments on here above reproach. As someone pointed out last night most of your comments are quite hilarious and I don't think it's intentional.

I like Jamie. As with anyone going out on their own in business they are going to make mistakes. Running horses where they dont belong is a mistake, however selecting nice horses at the sale for a moderate price is not a mistake. They have more than just Tueflesberg over there, Royal War Academy is a heck of a nice horse, Inca King had the potential to be a very nice horse prior to sell, and Pro Pink should have been sold for a lot of money but they wouldnt do it (mistake)

They have developed and ran all of those horses as 2yos, and somehow those horses are still sound and running

Despite how poorly she has spotted these horses, they are doing something right over there developing the babies. Its not by accident babies mature into nice horses.

I just labored through this thread and your posts. Perhaps someone you work with could fix, give you a new one, or teach you how to use your keyboard.

Your posts would be easier to read, and understand if you would use the shift key at the beginning of your sentences, and break up your thoughts with paragraphs.

Thanks

Notwithstanding her abilities, I have one question...

How is it that with a 2% winning percentage she has any clients?
