You like Autozone??? ME TOOO!!!! I LOVE their NASCAR accessories. My Caravan has #8 stickers all over it! Ask for my husband in the Erlanger store, his name is Buddy (well, that isn't REALLY his name, but that's what everyone calls him!) He'll be able to help you with your wipers. It really depends on what kind of car you have and the size of your windshield.

A positive drug test? What happened, did they give the horse marijuana? I thought that was illegal?

Remember when they had those cut out ones with the lines and you could perforate them or whatever to get the shapes and then eat them. I would always do that.

Thanks for the memories man. But I think my favorite flavor now is "green." If you get my drift.

That is a great story and Autozone is cool b/c I buy all my air fresheners and washer fluid there they seem really helpful and everything if I can't remember how many inches my wipers are supposed to be.

Yes i think the purse of the race is a 1/2 or a million dollars. Brass Hat is a good horse you should look him up. He won some good races and got 2nd in Dubi but they took it away b/c he had a positive drug test very unfortunate.

Oh, it's a RACE! Do they give away money for that race?

By the way, what's a Brass Hat? That sounds kind of heavy! I don't think i'd want to wear a brass hat.

So you know what I look like, I've attached a picture of my family (the little one is mine!)

Meanwhile ... you can visit Horseracingtalk.com ... and peruse my archive of nearly 3,000 posts. Among the things you'll find are:

• In 2004 I predicted that Smuggler would be the 2005 3YO Filly champion.

• Two weeks before the 2005 BC Sprint ... when Lost In The Fog was being hailed as the greatest sprinter since Domino ... I predicted that he'd fold like a cheap suit and finish out of the money.

• In early March 2006 ... when Bernardini was a complete unknown ... I predicted that he was the most talented 3YO colt and would soon become a G1 stakes winner.

• Also in early March 2006 ... when Songster was a complete unknown ... I predicted he would become the best 3YO sprinter.

• In February 2006 ... when Matz announced his training plans for Barbaro ... I predicted that Barbaro would be unfit for the Triple Crown races and would not be able to complete them.

• In August 2005 ... I predicted that Mayan King ... a total unknown ... would be a serious contender for 2006 Horse Of The Year. Mayan King recently ran a mile at Belmont in the same time that Silver Train won the Met Mile ... and if he stays healthy ... will surely be contending for Horse Of The Year.

• Two years ago ... I pointed out that Todd Pletcher was unsuccessful in developing colts to win G1 races at classic distances on dirt. Now ... that topic is all the "buzz" in the racing media.

• In early 2005 ... I predicted that Funny Cide would never win another open graded stakes and that his only chance to win another race would be against New York-bred competition.

There are many, many other examples of my brilliance in analyzing and prognosticating thoroughbred racing ... and ... as Casey Stengel often said ... "you can look them up" ... simply by going to the Horseracingtalk.com archives.

Happy hunting!

By the way,there are no people like me either.Thats why I'm "Independent George" as opposed to "Relationship George", who I think may be on here under another name.Maybe you can find out BB, since you seem to know who is who here.
"Start your engines", BB. I'm all ears (or rather "eyes") since I wont be able to hear your words but.........well,you know ??

Has Dickey posted anything I should be reading lately??

Independant is way better because you can have more chicks that way, who needs 'em tying you down. Hey I am only 23 so why buy the cow when there are gallons of milk everywhere around.

Anyway, I found out the best way to break off a relationship is to say, "It's not you............it's me." This way, when you leave, you still got "hand"......................know what I mean.

That's why you should never dump a hot chick you should just find more hot chicks to soften the blow before "phasing out" of the old one.



Sorry i know this has nothing to do with the matzo ball episode of Seinfeld but George is a pathetic sap and any real man would put on his pink shirt and go get some tail.




Edit: I just became a yearling with this post :)

The actor horse who played Sonjador should have been nominated for an Academy for that portrayal. And Gary Stevens not getting nominated in a supporting role for his portrayal of George "Iceman" Woolf was another shun.

Hey Flowing Tail, it sounds like you take lots of pictures and have access. Would you be able to take a picture of Barbaro mounting his first mare when that day comes? Just for commemorative purposes. I would compensate you highly for that. I am hoping it is Megahertz. She is a teeny, weeny mare and Barbaro wouldn't have to raise up so high to perform his manly duties. To ease pressure on his hindquarters, I would book him only to teeny mares. I am already salivating over the possibility of a Megahertz, Barbaro offspring. Barbahertz or Megaro. I would love to have a panoramic of the Barbaro, Megahertz mating placed above my big screen TV. That would be incredibly cool.

To me it looked like the "real" G.C. I have seen him a number of times and he is like a statue, so perfectly built. Definitely the best-balanced horse I have ever looked at in my entire life; a veritable muse for a horsie ogler like me. (I also goo-goo Jo'burg and he looked correct thru the stall door in the movie as well.)

Rumor is that it might NOT have been the real Slam, though. Not sure on that one.

Sounds like you would really like to get your hands on this picture. How much do you pay. Anyway that might be a tough show to get tix to but I will try if the price is right. Good idea on Meggie although I'm sure a big announcement will be made when he is ready to breed hopefully next spring??

You can do the same with Mayan King, Songster, Funny Cide, etc.

Try it ... it'll be lots of fun !!!
