But Ouija is the proven world class competitor that Diva isn't.



I try not to reply to your posts b/c, well, you are insane.

but you speak of Makybe Diva as if she is still running.
been retired for a year now slick.
how is she supposed to beat The Board?
she is pregnant.

Happy Ticket and Super Frolic.....

Man I'm going to miss Happy Ticket not running next year. At
least she retired happy and healthy after a great run in the
Distaff. I'm looking forward to seeing her foals run.

That Coin Silver retirement really hurts. Not as much as his improbable win in the Lexington hurt me however.

That "improbable" comment may get you on the wrong side of the law!! I was considering breeding all my mares to him but your comment made me reevaluate. John Fort is going to come after you hard!!!!

The Badge of Silver story MUST be a lie! Esteemed poser, er poster, Dixie, who's like peas and carrots, don't ya know, with Bobby Frankel, told us just the other day he was going to make a million bucksin 2007.

I guess he meant in stud fees.

DIXIE??????

Leave Me Alone

Leave Me Alone, the winner of the Grade 1 Test Stakes at Saratoga in 2005, has been retired after a series of disappointing results, trainer Eric Kruljac said on Sunday.

A 4-year-old filly, Leave Me Alone finished last of eight in the $100,000 Cat's Cradle Handicap last Friday, her 10th consecutive loss. Owned by Steve Mitchell, the California-bred Leave Me Alone ends her career with 5 wins in 18 starts and earnings of $653,330. Leave Me Alone was the 2-1 second choice in the betting for the Cat's Cradle. She raced near the front for the first half-mile and faded quickly.

"She doesn't want to do it anymore," Kruljac said. "It's time we recognize that she's had enough of racing."

By Bold Badgett, Leave Me Alone won two other stakes in 2005 - the Melair Stakes for statebred 3-year-old fillies at Hollywood Park and the Grade 3 Azalea Breeders' Cup Stakes at Calder. Following her win in the Test Stakes, she placed in three other Grade 1 races, finishing second in the La Brea and Gazelle Stakes in 2005 and third in the Santa Monica Handicap earlier this year.
Kruljac said Mitchell will make breeding arrangements for Leave Me Alone "by the beginning of the year."

Sharp Humor, the awsomely fast 3 year old reinjured his knee in the historic Cigar Mile just as he looked like he was going to take it all the way to the wire...

ridiculous. either trout or casner said at a forum that untested and unsound horses shouldn't be bred. now they're standing two from this year alone.
