Biggest lie in racing
 

I know that everyone is looking to make $$$$$, the bettor,owner, trainer and everybody involved. The most over used and biggest lie is"Ihey have waited all my life to run a racehorse like this". As soon as he or she exibits any form of greatness, they want to pass on his greatness thru breading and forget there dream of achieving greatness for the horse. In todays racing greatness in a racehorse can not be because of the lure of the breeding shed. The only way we will ever see a truely proven great horse is if one has the g after his name in the program.

can horses really be retrained to make bread after they are done racing?

Hey, horses have kneads like everyone else ....

oh my god

I'll toast to that.

Can't stand breading on my shrimp (much prefer Zatarain's fish fry which no one on here will understand except my friends in south Louisiana), why would I want breading on my horse?

It's an expensive sport, it's a gamble for everyone, and if you are lucky to have the chance for lots of money fall your way .... this isn't the day of the (wealthy) hobby/sport owner. Horse racing orginated with gambling as the focus, anyway ("My horse can beat yours"); and it seems from history that plenty of owners made their money in racing by gambling on their horses, rather than from purses, in the past.

It's sad not to be able to anticipate Hard Spun, Street Sense, AGS, Curlin, etc butting heads and beating up on each other next year, yes.

we use that.
next time you fry fish, add a stick of butter flavored crisco to the oil. trust me, good stuff.

I put some on my redfish about a week ago.
Wonderful stuff. I also like their Dirty Rice and Jumbayla MIx and Gumbo mix with rice.

we always use the gumbo w/out rice. good stuff.

I think the issue is that just when the horses are on a roll, they want to make breading?

Flip through the Prudhomme cookbook, "Chicken Big Mamu".

Almost better than sex! ;)

you can buy zatarain's anywhere.

i could get it at a grocery store in california 20 years ago. i used their jambalaya mix before i learned to cook.

zatarain's is okay but if you live in louisiana you could do a lot better.

You are sure right about the sodium. It does not even taste good. way too salty for me.

you only changed one of the breadings to breedings man!

RISE to the occasion dude!

Invasor would have been a truly great racehorse this year as a 5 year old, if he would not have gotten hurt. Ghostzapper was brought back after winning the classic. Medaglia d'Oro and Pleasantly Perfect were brought back after finishing 1-2 in the Classic. There are some examples of "sporting" owners still out there...they are just too few and far between.

Yes, it's always been about the dough.

I just saw a horse win in a cake walk.
