I trust you completely ... but ...

... those are data which anyone could look up and post.

Pedigree Ann spends her whole life doing stuff like that ... and she thinks she's a genii.

Yeah ... it's definitely a weak source ... kind of a shameful one, really ... but it is a public record which anyone on the planet can verify.

I WAS BEING SARCASTIC DUDE! It is very silly to "claim" a horse unless you own it!

I am a big Gorella fan and have been since last year. Sorry that I don't follow as closely as you guys do as to who is racing and where. I get busy in life. I am not as obsessed with her as Kev is with EC, but I do love this filly. Only horse I am obsessed with as much as Kev is with EC is Buck. I have pics of him everywhere at the office, home, email them to all my friends, even post pics on this board. I even have a pic saved as my desktop on my computer. I am thinking about making my lic. plate to say "Bck Nkd":D :D

But if you claim a horse ... you DO own it ...

... that's one of the basic rules of horse racing.

If anyone publicly made such a statement before then ... please present your evidence ... and if it's valid ... I will yield my proprietorship.

I'm not sure how well he'll run in the Jim Dandy ... I don't like "spaced" races and "fresh" horses ... but I do have faith in Tom Albertrani ... who is another bold Brooklynite.

So ... hands off Bernardini ... he's mine unless you can prove otherwise.

Thats funny because Steve Haskin and I were arguing about the same thing Derby week when Bernardini waltzed in the Withers....we both knew he would win the Preakness or be a game second to Barbaro if Barbaro fired his best shot.....I have thought this colt was the goods since his maiden win and the Withers only reaffirmed it because I KNEW with his pedigree and stride that he would be better aroud two turns....I put my money where my mouth was and was rewarded with a $14,000+ payday in the Preakness after hitting all exotics across the board....Congrats on your early find, Brooklyn - but I must break it to you that you weren't the only one on board at a VERY early stage....I LOVE this horse...perhaps more than any other horse I have ever seen or followed....

packerbacker7964 08-24-2006 03:03 PM

Funny how everyone loves a winner, eh? I mean come on how much does claiming him to be a good horse pay? That's what I thought.

And here I thought I was a genius just for thinking he was a lock to win. Wish I would have put more money where my mouth was. :D

Congrats on the score.

Buzz Aldrin was on the moon at a "VERY early stage" ... but the only one still remembered is Neil Armstrong.

Sorry, "Buzz" ... but I beat you down the ladder.

100 years from now ... when they cast that big bronze statue ... it'll look like me ... not you.

packerbacker7964 08-24-2006 03:23 PM

Maybe some of you should be pin hookers or blood stock agents. I mean why not cash in on your new found talents.

I can only spot them after they've raced ...

... I have an amazing ability to sort the wheat from the chaff ...

... but by then it's too late.

BellamyRd. 08-24-2006 03:41 PM

Bold you're nothing but an immature little whiney baby
who does a disservice to the actual "Bold" people of Brooklyn
The Arabs have the horse, you didn't
and now you can't get a decent price betting on him
and I bet your swedish fish sucked too!

I go on public record with my predictions ... very early on in a horse's career. Do you ever do that?

And don't worry about me and my money ... I retired when I was 59. Will you be able to do that?

You're a funny guy....I hope you financially benefitted from this horse t the level I have...If not,your "aboard early" speech is trivial....

Good for you ... but ...

Pointg5 08-24-2006 03:49 PM

I believe Bold...

He was very reasonable in our Smuggler discussion, so I believe him...

SentToStud 08-24-2006 03:51 PM

Bold Brooklynite was a public skool gym teacher.

He retired at age 59.

He actually owns the Brooklyn Bridge and leases it back to NYC.

He still has and wears daily the first pair of shoes he ever bought.

Thanks ... and I have voiced my respect for your veracity too ... but ...

... it's not a matter of believing or not believing ...

... it can be looked up. And if it weren't true ... you can be sure that my "enemies" would be documenting it ...

... ummm ... maybe not ... most of them are too dumb to know how to use the "Search" function.

I think this is what you are wanting to hear...."Bold, you are the man!"

horseofcourse 08-24-2006 04:33 PM

BB...I rate Bernardini as your best "never, ever doubt..." horse you told us about over on the other forum. He does look to be everything and all that. I sincerely hope the sheikhs run him at 4 as well. Even if he's yours, we can all enjoy the greatness he hopefully will display the next 16 months.

Oh I apologize sir, I did not realize you are a senior citizen...
I didn't mean to be disrespectful to an old person

Cunningham Racing 08-24-2006 06:48 PM

I have this gut feeling that Bluegrass Cat will get a lot of Bernardini's support now with all of the buzz and the fact it is Pletcher....I think Bernardini is 3/4...Bluegrass Cat will be around 8/5 - 9/5....I suppose....

No ... it just says that I don't follow thoroughbred racing to make money ...

... this is a matter of the heart for me.

1. You did notice the quotation marks around the word "enemies" ... didn't you?

2. I agree ... there are some people on this forum who "have issues that are probably too large for therapy to help" ... emphatically.

There's a "Member" board on this forum ...

... try to familiarize yourself with it.

You may look less foolish if you do ... but then again ... you may not.

Anyone familiar with my posts ...

... knows that "the Pletcher buzz" should move Bluegrass Cat's odds up ... not down.

TheSpyder 08-24-2006 07:46 PM

How the H*LL can you say you have dibs on a horse. That's what the window is about not with us. I think it's absolutely self absorbing to say you pick a horse over others on this site. What about if someone thought the same thing a week before you. On, I know where's the proof? Right?

Well I want to say I have dibs on all the best looking women on the planet. There, I'm first and all you have to send me pictures of all the great looking woman you see and there all mine, ALL MINE!

Get a life. We all play this game for the love of horses and yes, we all like to pick winners. But you have one heck of a tude to claim a horse you don't own, train, ride, or even shovel the turds for. Hey your retires so buy him with all the money you have.

Much too general ... "best looking" is too subjective and overly vague ...

... try to be more specific.

When I make forecasts about horses ... I use specific names ... not just "any bay colt" ... let's see if you can narrow it down a bit.

Seattleallstar 08-24-2006 08:59 PM

i had Bernardini before you did brother

my best friend is from Ocean Parkway
and I've been to Brooklyn a few times
Smith & Nine, Church, Ft. Hamilton Pwky
see I still know the train stops
respect
still, you could be a little less pompous

packerbacker7964 08-24-2006 09:57 PM

I had him first because i was there the night he was born in that little stable with his mommy.

Cute ... but ... when exactly did you predict he'd be 3YO champion ... and ...

... can you document your prediction so that it passes the most severe scrutiny?

Nobody takes Bernardini away from me ... without a battery of lawyers ... or a battery under his saddle.
