Have you ever seen " The Electric Horseman "?

I'm just saying, the last year in poor old Badge of Silver's life has been an interesting one. FIrst, he was going to be retired, then he came back and ran one race in like nine months. Then, his comeback race is a turf race in the Breeders Cup, and finally, they run him on the dirt in the Cigar Mile? The poor horse's emotions must truly be all over the place.

And, don't forget, his real trainer Dixie Porter will be sneaking him away from the breeding shed this year to race him.

First horse to make a million on the track AND breeding shed in the same year!

should I be insulted or just disappointed for missing this list?

Thanks Dixie, I'm really honored because I know you've been busting out mutts like me for decades.

While I am genuinely honored that anyone, much less someone as esteemed as you, would waste even the miniscule amount of energy required to place someone as insignificant as myself on ignore, I think you need to get a sense of humor tune-up.

Let's do a time line....


Saturday - Badge of Silver runs second in the Cigar Mile


Sunday - Dixie declares, in his position as apparent co-trainer of Badge of Silver, that the horse will make $1 million dollars racing in 2007.

Monday - It is disclosed that Badge of Silver has been retired AND that decision was made before the horse raced on Saturday.


If you don't think you are in for some good natured ribbing, and you can't take it, then you REALLY deserve some abuse.

But, I like you, so I will continue to give you a hard time even though I KNOW you will never read my posts again;) .

You MUST not be a client of Dixie's "Inner Circle" product where you receive "real time" updates not otherwise available including -- but certainly not limited to:
-What Badge of Silver is thinking Right Now!
- Where Bobby is eating lunch
- Transcripts of Dixie's current talks with Olmert, James Baker and King Abdullah.

Guys once that breeding deal was announced, he was going to stud.
I'd guess the price was about 3 and a half million, with a million dollar bonus if he had won the Cigar(a grade one).
He should stand for 12,500-15,000.

Andy, congrats on making the ignore list, you should feel special.

several of my favorite posters on that list. poor me, no invitation....YET.

i'm sure it's lost in the mail.

I'm bummed, because I thought for sure I would be somewhere near the top of that list...

lol

no doubt! just gotta work harder.

said on bhorse he will be 15k.
silver train 25k. a bit high imo.

That means I had the price right on the deal. Thanks for the info, good to know.
