Yet Another Who, Apparently, Had Done Enough
 

Racing's greatest friend, Sheik Mo, has graciously retired Octave.

Yeah, no reason to race her in 2008.

I wonder when Sheik Mo is going to retire. Octave did have a nice career. 2 Grade I wins isnt so bad.

Yep, too bad she couldn't "hang" around for another year.

Shiek Mo is in the breeding business now. Soon their won't be any graded winners racing. He is going to buy them all so Coolmoore can't get to them.

I wish someone would buy me and retire me. I'd take half of that $4 mil. and would breed to any woman, any day, anytime.

Spyder

Any woman? Becareful

Good to know you have standards Spyder.

All this time I though BTW and myself were the only gigilos on this board.

Damn, competition...now our stud fee will go down....

OK, so what is your black type?

Mine:

24 years sucessfully married to a red head - I could take on any woman

Ran a marathon...right foot beat left foot by 1/2 length

My dong measures....oh forget it.....still as Southside Johnny said "it ain't the meat but the motion that makes my baby want to rock"

My black type??

a 3 year marraige...which is the equivilant to a state bred minor stakes placing.


Although...many that have met my ex-wife would argue lasting 3 years with her should earn me multiple Grade 1's

Kev, I think you have met your match for most ridiculous person ever in Internet history in Spyder.

Yeah....hes kinda cool too, aint he?

It's nothing in relative terms compared to what Len Riggio spent.

It's Jihad Claus.

Especially in regards to the stallions to which they will be bred to.

i thought they planned to put her back in training.

ridiculous.

Wasn't she the one who caused that bidding snafu with Coolmore? They tried to put more down and the guy "didn't see them"...which is weird. I mean surely you're trying to get as much as possible. You're telling me there's not a 'going once, going twice..' where they could've just gone 'oy! tryin' to put in a bid here!' I mean there's a time for subtle strategy but geez.

I wonder what Coolmore would've done with her.
