Haha... I actually agree that he won't last in Kentucky (if at all), but his dam seems to have done better with Benchmark more so than Swiss Yodeler (sire of Swissle Stick.) I just wondered what happened to Don'tsellmeshort... I hadn't heard anything regarding him and it'd be interesting to see what he would stand for.

Flying Continental is dead too... RIP.

God rest his soul....there is a running joke with this horse, as well as the powerful, strapping sons of Raffie's Majesty in New York and the fleet-footed trains produced by Bold Pac Man in Louisiana :D

I've had it. This goes back to my saying "everything I post on here can easilly be DOCUMENTED".

I WILL NO LONGER reply to a "hopeless wannabee" that doesn't know which end of a horse eats, and furthermore comes out with downright LIES that are difficult to refute on an internert board. All the stuff you allude to is pure BS. Not ONCE have you EVER verified ANYTHING. Furthermore no one with a brain could be posibly interested in the "heresay" you waste Steve's bandwidth on.

You're nothing but a two bit horse player posing as someone who has something to do with the racing game.

I shall now continue to make a total imbecile out of you post by post untill I leave for Vail after the bowls.

Oh Dicksie, you're the best. You don't need no stinking documentation ( though even one small shred of all this so called evidence would be appreciated from those few silly enough not to take everything you say at face value ). You are the greatest self-proclaimed person in the history of racing...if not the entire history of gambling. Dude....you were on the plane to Israel with Meyer Lansky when he was refused sanctuary in Israel!!!!!!!!! I mean, come on, it's hard to believe the Stones haven't written a song about YOU ( or at the very least....Carly Simon ).

And furthermore, let's be honest, we're all imbeciles, babe, it's a wonder we still know how to breath.

It's not the layoff of the turnback in distance that bother me with Brother Derek at all. Just the speed and distance. I actually like horses turning back in distance when they are stalkers or closers.

Interestingly, u brought up Rock Hard Ten. I wonder if anyone remembers the horse that ran second in his Malibu? None other than Lava Man.

He won't be in the Sunshine Millions.

As a son of Benchmark, I'd say send him to the HOL Derby, then the Malibu and then the Sunshine Millions. Lava Man went back and forth from dirt to turf, restricted to G1. I just don't see BD as the type of horse who's value will be hinged on a G1. He doesn't have enough breding for him to ever be a hot sire with breeders. They need to make $ with him now, not wait for stud deals.
