He'll never run a race and he'll prefer stallions over mares.

yes you'll catch some **** about being the "young punk," i did, and in some forums, still do. but 99% of the time, you'll catch **** for what you say instead of how old you are.

and you get the Irish bonus too :D

It's merely a cry for attention.....nothing more.

Thanks.

I personally am extremely happy with what has happened with this horse so far. A healthy happy failure. We can only hope his offspring, if there are any, will also be happy pasture horses. I see this as good for the breeding game as a whole, a better reflection of the crap shoot genetics can be. Makes people think a bit more.

This thread is a massive failure of epic proportions. And really that's fitting considering it's a thread about the Green Monkey.

It certainly isn't Grade 1 material.

I think that everything from post #28 on should be deleted.

Be nice? Phuck that. I say, argue away, because that's what helps people learn, but enter the fray at your own risk.
your correct! i dont care what anyone says about me, its just some ppl take it to another level.....say what you want about my posts, thats what this place is for, i belive he will win a grade 1, very possibly sprinting, thats my opinion, what is the problem, but i will say every opinion i make is educated, lets all sit here and bash a 16million doller horse that hasent even ran yet, this guy could come to the track in the next few months, break his maiden by many many lenghts, then 1-2 starts later could be in a grade 1

Trust me, the two pages I mentioned in the other one--they'd never be missed. Not a chance.

Dom, this isn't a pissing contest here. No one worries about what people bet....Green Monkey will actually be running in the Travers so you will be able to see him win his Grade 1 I'm sure.
