He truly gave us everything he had on the track. I was really excited to see him back this year, yet this has put a real damper on a great day of racing.

He was retired. I guess Coolmore must be short of horses or money to bring him back like they did.

he was having fertility problems. only got a handful of mares in foal.
where have you been?

short of money, gimme a break.

get real. he was retired and Coolemore's greed makes them wring every last dime out of the horse. he's a turf horse and they bring him over here to run in the slop ? shame on Coolemore.

sumitas, what is your problem? everyone knows about his fertility issues, the rush to retirement of their 3 yo by danehill to take his place, and george's return to the track.
he ran in the classic a year ago, none the worse for wear. it's what racehorses do.

maybe you should watch figure skating instead?

Once they switch to synthetic ice instead of the real thing....count him in.

you must be in management, soaking every last ounce of energy out of your wage slaves. go work for coolemore. they exploit every last dying breath out of their horses. something you are very comfortable with, it seems.

lol

to quote peter from family guy

'you drunk'

go whip some people and release your tension grrrrl

it's saturday, my wage slaves whip themselves on wknds, i'll be back on monday to straighten them up for the next week.:rolleyes:

where's dahoss, mums wants him...aw the heck with it i'm done with him, lol. have fun and don't spend your winnings all in one place ;)

I heard 6. Is that accurate? At least we have some of him to carry on. You know, Domino only had 14 offspring before his untimely loss as a stallion. Doesn't mean the influence is gone.

Disgusting that they would run that horse today. Should be ashamed of themselves

i see some don't wait til monday to do their quarterbacking. how nice to always be right after knowing the outcome.

there's redboarding, so what's this? surely a good name for it.

yeah, old crazy domino. they had to blindfold him to get his jock on his back, domino despised the guy. thank goodness for broad brush, and now his son Include, to keep the domino line going.

Just got a text from a good friend of mine who works at Aidan's, she and everyone just feels sick at the moment. I think she is still at home in France, but she has been in contact with a few of her work collegues.

George was loved, he was a real character and i think he was the favourite horse in the yard from the groom's point of view.

She went through the same heartbreak in the Epsom Derby when Horatio Nelson broke down. She rode him every morning and travelled europe with him.

I hate to think how George's groom is feeling right now.

Agreed. Especially if he's had problems. It's all about the $

i'd imagine they all feel pretty dammed low. there was a small article in bloodhorse about a lady who's spent all her time working with horses. she worked pine island, and said losing her almost put her out of the sport. you get so attached to them.

To be honest, I thought we were home free until the Classic. Wagering wise, this was my worst Breeder's Cup day ever, but many of us at the party I was at kept commenting about how glad we were that there were no mishaps or breakdowns. So much for that.
