Forgive me for being skeptical, but as soon as he lost the race, I knew there would be the claim of career ending injury. As for the life threatening part, what kind of insurance policy does an owner tend to have on a horse at this level?

It's a bit more real than a "claim".

What does it really matter?

While I understand the sadness associated with any horse suffering serious injury, perhaps more than most. I must post the criticism of Tiz Wonderful's connections has no merit whatsoever.

For those indicating he could have found a softer spot after the tendon blew up, I would ask where? Saratoga did not card a race for sophomores that have not won three graded stakes.

Suspensories can go at any time, on any horse. Blaming the connections for a fluke occurence is just piling on. BBB

To pollute the breed further

DAHOSS Your insinuation that Tiz Wonderful's connections were trying to "squeeze another race out of a hurt horse" is pure prattle and not worth discussing.

I would however be interested in your clairvoyant stance that he would not make the Breeders cup or any other future stakes race. BBB

For everyone else that has no idea what the word means.

i think it's worth discussing.

Are you saying that trainers would never do something like squeezing another race out of a horse, or are you saying you know asmussen would never do that?

At least you have momentarily ceased referring to yourself in the third person.

There is always something for which to be thankful.

OMGZ!!!!1!11!!!!

Bring Grits back and my life will be complete.

Yet another fascinating exchange involving my buddy BBB, wherein he lashes out at anyone with two eyes who can see what is really happening while offering nothing besides over-the-top rhetoric big on pomp and as usual, extremely short on substance.

Well played DaHoss. Now I must tend to structuring my 1x1x1x1 late pick-4 at Arlington that I fully expect will pay five digits.

I shall tell you all what ticket I came up with either later tonight or on Monday, as only the best do.

I want to say I love you for that, but that would be incredibly gay of me.

So, lol will have to suffice.

What is wrong with you guys? Are you the same four smelly old guys I saw arguing at the OTB last Friday afternoon?

Hoss..Looks like you have been studying Satan's posts....I see his style being melded into yours

yet you couldn't resist discussing it.

I use MSPaint to make my picks. What up, son? Step into the 1980's and get with the times, BBB. Construction paper and markers are for the graveyard crew.

what he actually is is a drive-by poster. out of the blue he drives by, windows down, machine gun wailing indiscriminately at whomever happens to be in the way.

What I enjoy the most from BBB's appearances is when one of his internet boyfriends comes to his rescue.

lets not forget his magnum opus last winter on the phantom buzzer race.

OMG, ROR.....:D
I remember that from NOLA.com. I actually was at The Fairgournds that day, Donnie Meche wouldn't ride the horse, Ramsey Zimmerman picked up the mount, and he decidedly won, can't remember the horses name, but I remember the whole thing.
Then I go on NOLA and this whole thing about buzzers and other ridiculous stuff. People there believed him.
Trust me if a buzzer was found in the parking lot, or if there was even a rumor of it the whole paddock gang would have known,
Stuff like that is why I hardly ever go to NOLA board.

Where's that thread, I need a good laugh.

And yeah the 3rd person thing is weird...still does it on NOLA and the recaps, very weird.

Completely ignored.. yet, I think right on the money. I love the internet.

You're not arguing, you are attacking. On most well-moderated boards, this kind of crap wouldn't be tolerated. I think that you guys are taking advantage of Steve's hospitality.

enjoy!

give it up man.

i've finally relegated ronnie into the pg1985 category, except that pg was just kind of young and naive, so he's relatively harmless.

he certainly was a stupid one though, wasnt he?

hey dispencer!

You never came back on and told us how your p4 did!

i also wanted to commend you on your recent increase in high quality sarcasm!

Thanks for the link.

Very interesting, this was a completely different accusation of buzzer use. Sorry, I didn't think there could be 2 accusations of buzzer use....silly me.

And yeah we were there on Xmas eve as well, I remember that race too. It was a horrendous day, we ended up leaving the weather was so bad. I don't remember any rumors of a buzzer that day either. It's a very social group at the paddock bar.

Later in the spring was the race I was referring to and the same explaination came up on NOLA after the race that a buzzer was used. Similar circumstances although I don't think the horse was 70/1, but paid off very nicely. Wish I could remember the horses name. I'll think of it.

Ridiculous to even suggest in print on forums that a buzzer was used by analyzing race results., not even having been there or watched a replay....:eek:

Like I said things like this is why I avoid NOLA, it used to be fun there, and lots of locals when The Fairgrounds is running.
