it looks like your god has abandoned you.

Even easier, just hold the ALT key and then press 0233 on the number pad on your keyboard (for whatever reason, it doesn't work on this computer using the numbers on the top of the letters -- not sure if it ever does...).

Used to have to type it for French papers all the time, and got sick of finding it on the character map.

éééé

Just go nuts.

Tiz Wonderful was vanned off

Who would have seen that one coming?

seriously? you arent joking, are you?

that just sucks. that horse should never have been brought back after his race against street sense. probably shouldnt have been brought back then either.

i only saw the race on youbet, were those front wraps?

i can think of 2 people that spring to mind.

oops, i read your post wrong. make that 'i can only think of 2 that couldn't'

It's on the chart.....

A sentence from a bloodhorse article:

John Velazquez, who rode Tiz Wonderful, told Verderosa he felt “something pop” as he was galloping back to be unsaddled.

Tiz Wonderful vanned off according to Haskin.. Any updates?

Oh.. and is there something I should have moderated that I should know about? Pais was at the KEE sale the last few days so you kids are playing with moderate supervision.. Be good...

(And Nicole... Rooster attack? Tramplings? Puh-leeaze... that's nothing. Just remember what 'KYRIM' has been through...) :eek:

did you enjoy the sales sessions?

as far as moderation is concerned, as long as nascar is not talked about, i'm happy!

This clip reminds me of KYRIM.

The owners and trainers should be ashamed of themselves for Tiz Wonderfuls demise.

that was pretty much what i was inferring in my original post.

by demise, do you mean that his demise as a racehorse, or that he ended up dying?

Just the constant beating he took as a racehorse. He was in a butchershop to begin with, hyped up, and really had nowhere to go but down.

I dont know if hes still with us, but I havent heard anything to the contrary. Hopefully hes not insured

I suppose in order to make an assertion that Tiz Wonderful's connections should be ashamed of themselves one has to assume that Steve Asmussen knowingly put Tiz Wonderful on the track when injured. I am no great Steve Asmussen fan, but is it possible to have that knowledge as just a racing fan?

I'd say no, especially given that Tiz Wonderful's supposed injury happened after the running of the More Than Ready today. We've gone over Tiz Wonderful's performance in the Jim Dandy, so there's no need doing that again. However, today he did not run a bad race at all. He lost to a horse who was definitely improving a bit more than I anticipated, but it's not like Tiz Wonderful disgraced himself.

I'm wondering how much the collective feelings on this board about the whole Tiz Wonderful situation has to do with Asmussen himself and his checkered past. While Asmussen's horrendous record in terms of drug positives and suspensions is indefensible, I just don't see how he can be blamed or should feel ashamed for the way he handled Tiz Wonderful.
