Its been suggested that a few of these grade ones on the Poly will be donwgraded should they have weaker fields in the future.
Since none of the races you just mentioned have ever been run on poly, how exactly does that send anything out the window.
Thats pretty stupid.

Boy, you really dont catch on to things very fast now do you. No point trying to be proven at all. But you have summed up your narrow mindness and lack on intelligence in one single post. Now that is pretty impressive.

damn,
what happened to the "suggestive" pic of Balleto?
I miss all the good stuff.

anyway,

I dont get the downgraded status of the Clarke.
didnt it just get Grade 1 status?
had a really nice field, certainly Grade 1 quality.

The Goodwood?
have to be kidding.
5 horse fields and half of those are rabbits for the actual good horses.

no argument on the Matron.

suggestion though.
why does Churchill have their 2 feature races for older horses run at the same distance?
Foster and Clarke are the same race, just at different times.
CD needs to make one run at 10f.
and with their ideal setup for 8f races, they should create a top mile race at 8f.

as for the Ghostzapper stakes ateam,
it will happen.
but lets be honest, the Mineshaft stakes happened b/c he is one of the best horses to ever run at Fairgrounds, just like Risen Star.
both have graded stakes named after them there.

best chance for Ghostzapper to get a race named after him quickly would probably be at Monmouth.
just like there is the Point Given stakes there.
its not like they are going to rename the Woodward or Vosburgh after him.

I agree Repent. I would prefer it to be called the Zapper stakes and run it once every 4 years.

No, you misunderstood me. I certainly won't be making "a mess."

It's the internet, feel free to portray yourself any way you want. Just seems to me that you are a knowledgeable poster with substantial contributions to make but the self-styled avatars become the focal point rather than what you have to say.

just for the sake of contributing -- i didn't even notice them until people pointed them out.

the logic doesn't work -- the avatar becomes the focus only if YOU make it the focus. If she's got great contributions, and you're focusing on the avatar -- that's a commentary on you....

...not her.

Fair enough. I completely disagree, but hey- that's what's great about a "racing" message board; we all have a place to air opinions.

that was pleasant. and refreshing.

i'm not even being an a-hole -- i'm serious. i wish that attitude was more prevalant in the online communities i'm a part of.

Balletto 12-02-2006 12:45 PM

Well, its obviously moot now. For those on the board who know me well, they could see the humor in the original photo.
