You're on . After I get the past performances of this year's grand prix events .

FYI, my yearling is from the immediate family of NY star Be Bullish . And we all know what he can do . Ever onward !

What? American racing isn't good enough for ya

:tro: :tro:

This particular horse was a NY bred. He'd run well too. I see it happen all the time because in addition to working in racing, I ride hunters and jumpers. I showed alot on the circuit "back in the day" and have seen the tide turn against TB's. I know alot (hundreds) of TB's who came off the track and went to homes that were not prepared to deal with a track trained horse. It's a no win situation.
In eventing they still have a place. In the hunters and jumpers, they are rare and the ones that are out there are rarely well trained or managed because since they can be bought cheap, they tend to go to cheap owners who use "modest" trainers. It doesn't matter where they come from. I know people who breed TB's specifically for sport. They have hunter and jumper pedigrees, they've never been trained to race etc. Raised just like warmbloods and yet they are alot less money to buy because of the stigma of the TB.

I want to see him!!! can you please post a picture!?!? :D

http://www.freewebs.com/berndo/50700019%20(3).JPG He's 2 mo older now and he's quite dark (he was in the sun this summer, hence his lighter brown dapples) and still growing . :D Oh, and he really walks nice . His hooves don't touch and he places his rear hooves where his front ones were . Nice thoughtful personality . He's friendly and curious but firm . Once he finds out what's up he goes about his business .
We'll have him broke soon . The equestrian thingy, fughedaboudit . I'm not much for champagne anyway .

I don't know about the Champagne but he sure looks like the early future book favorite for the Sanford Stakes!!! :$: :$:

:D
