Have I touched a soft spot in describing you as your words depict you? As an idiot? I guess you DO have some emotion, except as with most self-centered, racist, sexist, possibly in the closet, types it is only anger that you express.

lmao,
yeah great psychoanalysis pal.

I tell you to f*ck off so somehow I am a racist and hate women?
did you go to school for that type of insight or did you just read dr phil's latest book?

I hate simply b/c I can(and its easier than caring).
no reason behind it other than that.
keep fishing cannon sh*t.

again,
f*ck off and die.
and b/c it confused you the first time, theres no emotion there, just my honest sentiment towards you.

I just do not understand how anyone can be so sure that horse wants to be rescued from his life of racing(which is what he was born to do) so that he can be bored in a stall the rest of his life.

Chapter 4 in the Dr. Phil guide to idiots.
"People who refuse to accept the true feelings that they have inside them often lash out in hatred and anger. Often those who are emotionally 'in the closet' are hiding sentiments that they rail against, trying to get themselves as far away from reality as possible. They will decry that which they truly are. Common signs include crude language, deviant behavior against animals, and uncommon hero worship of delusional father figures (especially those with imaginary friends)."

Sounds like you, dude.

The above posting experts (can't call them morons) know exactly how this horse feels and exactly what he would be happiest doing. BTW, horses DON'T feel happy. Just thought I'd throw that in. Should bring some astonishing replies.

It's kinda fun and interesting to see where there are two sets of rules for those posting on here. One set applies to you and I; the other to the rest of the geniuses and trolls that are knocking their heads against a wall when they are hopelessly outclassed.;) Time for them to put on a helmet.

Check out the "personal attacks" that will be coming shortly. For some strange reason they do not appear on Mr. Byk's PC. BTW, for what it's worth, this is the reason Brooklynite took a powder. Did not have much respect for our host. Personally I find Byk a "good guy". I think he blew his cool yesterday when over matched.

you know Ive always been fascinated by that whole "you hate what you fear" idea.

maybe ppl just hate what they dont like.
wow, what a concept.
thats pretty much the definition of hate.

im sure there are lots on here who hate different groups just as much as I do, but dont express that opinion b/c they fear what others might think of them.
but b/c I say what I mean and I mean what I say, Im somehow confused about what I really feel?
thats bs.

I'll let you in on something cannon shell since you are showing so much interest in what I do or do not feel this evening.

I feel very little.
I care about myself and not much else.
think what you will, but there is not much inside of me.

again,
f*ck off and die.

and one set for popular majority who just kiss each others' asses.

let them do what they will and call me what they choose.

When a graded stakes horse is to the point that he can only compete in a $5,000 claiming race, it almost certainly means that he has a serious injury. He probably has a tendon or suspensory. If they keep running the horse, he will probably end up getting hurt very badly and possibly breaking down and dying. That is the problem.

If you had a horse that had made you over $1 million, would you run him for $5,000 if you knew he had a serious physical problem and would be at risk of serious injury and possibly breaking down if he continues to run? I think most people would retire the horse in that situation.

Richi,
I would not run ANY horse that fit that description.
not b/c I care about the horse, but b/c it puts the riders in danger and its not fair to the wagering public.

if the horse is not fit to run, then its on the vet to prevent him from running.
thats all pure speculation though on your part.
for all anyone knows, the horse has just slowed down for whatever reason.

the signing at the end of the post goes back to something that occured at the thoroughbredtimes forum.
I would not expect you to understand.

I could say the same thing to you about using another forum member's words as a signature.

then again, as long as its not my words that you are using, I really dont give 2 sh*ts what you use as a signature.

I have trained and run many bowed horses and horses with suspensory problems. Only one was ever vanned off after a race and he bowed a fresh tendon in that race.

Won many races with these rejects. First and Finest, who I claimed from Harbor View, won a stake in Md. Concerned, who I bought from King Ranch for $5000, went on to win 7 more races up to starter's handicaps in NY.

The truth of the matter is that there are many horses out there that fit this description, especially in the cheap claiming races. There are a ton of horses out there that should not be running. The problem is that many of these smaller tracks would have nothing but 4 horse fields if horses with tendons or suspensories were not allowed to run.

If Shake You Down is totally sound and has just slowed down, then you have a point. But I don't think there is any chance that the horse is sound. There aren't all that many sound horses out there to begin with, let alone an old gelding like him.

well,
you would know better than I would.
Im just saying I do not know what his physical condition is.
and I do not care at all.

have to run where the horse is competitive.
guess this is where the trainer or owner thinks he fits.

at this point,
Audioslave can harldy be considered a supergroup.
they are done with their 3rd album now.

not sure what definition you are using, but it does not fit ASlave anymore.

like i said, I dont care what you use as a signature and Im surprised you would care what I end my posts with.

I know that in a lot of cases if the tendon is not that bad, the horse can last for a while. But we know there are other cases when it is that bad and running the horse would put him at serious risk.

For example, one of my trainers had a horse about a year ago who had a pretty serious issue. I can't even remember what it was. I think it was a tendon. The horse was a home-bred and the owners were somewhat fond of the horse. I think the horse was basically a $50k type horse. Anyway, with the injury he had, they had two choices. They could either retire him or they could run him for $10,000 and hope to win and get him claimed. My trainer thought he would definitely win if they ran him for $10,000 but they were very worried about what would happen to the horse. They didn't think he would break down that day, but they thought he would be very likely to break down in the near future if the person who claimed him continued to run him, which I'm sure he would have. Anyway, they decided to retire the horse. They didn't want to see the horse get hurt. This type of thing is pretty rare these days. Most people would just run the horse and try to get him claimed and they wouldn't care what happens to the horse. People are pretty much playing "hot-potato" with a lot of these claiming horses that have serious issues.
