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.
