and because the place is a dump, i think it should be moved to AP, where the dirt is much safer., lol.....

Do you actually believe that Scrappy T had bad footing and it wasn't because he just had take a good hit from the rider and veered into him?

I do believe Afleet Alex ran in the Belmont last year as well.

Hang in there Bobby!
My horse probably would have broke his other leg trying to get out of the stuff. He's a very high-strung eight year old. Yes, not many three year olds are like Barbaro. He is a charismatic champion through and through. This horse may just make it. I'm still hoping and praying for the best.

Yep, Barbaro's personality, temperment, and intelligence are helping keep in alive. What a brave horse. Keep fighting, champ!

Move the Preakness to Arlington? I will make a billion dollars before that happens.

"half factual" is being generous.
First you said "thats 2 years in a row the derby winner has lost his racing career on the pimlico dirt." Wrong. Apparently you thought Afleet Alex won the Derby last year, but he did not.
Then you said "the fact is two good three year olds ran thier last race of their career at pimlico." Wrong again. Afleet Alex won the Belmont in his next race.
Get your facts straight.

OK, I had to laugh at this one. Scrappy T had a bad whippin' on the wrong side and ran into AA. But, OK, if you want to blame the dirt, go ahead.

Paul,
Some of us "get" your humor. Some don't.
You've been welcomed back.
Don't antagonize, my friend. OK?
Roll with it and let it go. It just might keep you "sane". (Whatever that is).
OK?

Then you two should just ignore one another. Makes for a peaceful existence. No harshness meant. :)
