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.

What a silly thing to say. Why?

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.
