Thats hysterical. hes gonna run him back on short rest on the Brooklyn and you want me to believe its Barclay's idea?
I doubt that a lot.
And who cares anymore by the way?

Your brother knows Toni Braxton? Is he getting any? How is she?

Why use facts when you have "a brother" in the business who is almighty all powerful and all knowing being.
The same brother who supposedly told him how great that Klepto Cat is, she was beaten like a drum in a 35 claimer the other day. Ho hum.

My brother does not give me horses to bet and Braxton is her first name. My brother actually does not bet at all.

Why does every thread somehow divert to Funny Cide or Dracula (Barclay Tagg)? Its as tired a subject as Polytrack, P Val's drug problems and NYRA's money problems.

And I respectfully disagree that Funny Cide's 2nd to Evening Attire was any more than a suck up 2nd over a bunch of billygoats. EVening Attire won in dramatic fashion pulling away easy from Funny Cide that day. "Solid" is a little overdoing it there :cool:

It has been suggested to me that the sister in law Braxton that Nos is referencing is likely Braxton Lynch.. Sales Director at Three Chimneys...

I'll let Nos take it from here, but I would expect that confirmation of the above should go a long way to re-focusing discussions on facts and opinions as opposed to where info may come from and the frequent ugliness that tangent produces...

How about the Gen. MacArthur?

Ooops ... sorry ... they just ran it without him.

Boss-

I couldnt agree more. The only decent ones left are you and Bobby.

Thanks Steve.

She is not my sister in law. They both do a lot of work in the yearling market and have known each other forever. Glenn Graetz who used to work for John Ward is also there.

Nostra thats cool. But again, there are very many of us on here who know players in the game at the highest level. Owners, trainers, jockeys, agents, breeding farm owners, etc. They are just people, and in most cases lousy handicappers. The worst in many cases.
They tend to have tunnel vision in regards to the horses that they are connected to in some way. Now sometimes they do have good info regarding firsters. But the passion that they have for the horse that they are connected to tends to cloud lots of judgement.

Yes, couldnt have said it better myself. Nobody is really that impressed with who anyone knows. Unless you know Tiger Woods or Roger Federer. That would mean something. "Tips" on horses are about as useful as a week old newspaper.

what if you have mutual friends with Tiger?? That count for anything??:D

Sure does. Thats pretty cool Kev. How about at one time I actually gave Bobby Hurley a couple of golf lessons?

He owns horses....that makes you an insider

What does redboarding mean? I never heard the term.

It means telling everyone how great a horse looked AFTER the race is over instead of before.
Its an awful thing.

Hey ... it's the easiest way to pick winners ...

... it never fails ... unless your name is Jan Rushton ... who rarely knows who won even after the race.

Disgaree ...

... the guy in the men's room who hands out the paper towels really knows his stuff.
