I'm not.

... and I'm not saying she was the greatest filly ever, but she was very good.

As an aside, please refer to Dynever as Ittsak.:D

Yeah, as soon as I heard Bataglia's voice I clicked off.

That was cruel, Chuck, very cruel.

See post 297, last sentence

Yes... even the great ones have to step aside though. He has done enough :D

It was a classic call. He even slipped a "gaaaaiiinnnnniiiiinnnngggg ggggrrroooouuunnnddddd" as Spend a Buck drew away.

I might as well spray my office tomorrow with rat poison then. Same difference, right?

The ignorance of management in this game NEVER ceases to amaze me.

This is your winner

not necessarily. altho it would be a stretch of the imagination to think two horses would come down with the same type cancer at the same time, we all know that bizarre coincidences occur. it's what keeps conspiracy theorists in business.
there is a very rare brain disease...two friends contracted it and died within weeks. it's not contagious, and no one else in either family got it. bizarre, but unconnected. i remember reading about it.

in a way, it's almost like when you buy something you think is rare--and then all of a sudden, you see or hear about it seemingly everywhere...

Where is Jack Klugman when we need him?

There was a great Quincy episode involving a dead race horse.

Great lines:

- "I have to see a man about a horse. A dead horse."

- "I don't think this horse died of natural causes."

I'm pretty sure Harry Aleo probably watched Quincy.

There's absolutely nothing even close to proof that she was " very good. "

lol

first bruised knuckles, now bruised ear drums. not your night at all!

Horse Racing may be the only sport in the world where slight variations in wording can create such a argument. It seems to call a horse "great" in this sport, he/she must be an all-time superstar.

Compared to the average filly, she was more than very good. Compared to all time greats, she was well below average. Its just a matter of perspective.

I want to get a Quincy style houseboat

As it should.

Okay.

I liked her in the Ontario Debutante and in the Mazarine BC.

I'll leave it at that.

Maybe you need to check out KRIM's "beautiful relaxing video" or something. :p

You're forgetting how truly awful that field was. That phony Adieu was 2nd choice at 4-1 or something... I thought Folklore was a layup (and yes... that was my only winner that day)

Isnt that the meaning of the word?

So now we compare good horses to average horses to establish their quality?
