War Emblem
 
http://cs.bloodhorse.com/blogs/aroun...ar-emblem.aspx

Interesting update on how War Emblem's doing right now as a stallion. Apparently he's up to his old tricks. 2013 will have no War Emblem babies. Maybe they thought they'd figured him out.

Duh, I think the message is he doesn't want to be a typical stallion. I'd like to see him back in the states. Coolmore need not apply.

He's no Golden Missile, huh?

i read that update earlier today. i don't know that i've ever heard of a stallion like this before with so many issues with breeding.

why? he's probably got people over there who care as much about him, if not more so than anyone who ever was with him here. i don't get why people get so anxious about a horse going overseas. sunday silence was revered over there, they treated him like a king.
and yes, i know about ferdinand. but the stud farm didn't send him to slaughter. when his stud career turned out a flop, they arranged a home for him-and that's who ended up (possibly, never proven) sending him to his ending.
and we have horses over here who end up the same way.

Let's just say that he's no Calzone Lord.

Common sense is on it's way out Danzig, didn't you realize that by now?

I think common sense needs to be rebranded.

Uncommon sense.

common sense is the least common thing in the world. example. in that Florida case. Common sense. Go to the high school and ask if the victim was tough. If they say yes, then he was probably giving the other guy a beating, and when he stopped, the guy shot him. If they say he wasn't tough, then he was defending himself when the guy jumped him. The guy was feeling all brave with his gun and decided to harass some young kid, but he bit off more than he could chew. It's that simple.

It's tough to arugue with logic like this................:rolleyes:

This is the first time ever I hope to see a response from Riot. But it's kind of a double edged sword for me, I'll have to take her off ignore to read it.............
