Dylan Thomas and Alexandrova to skip BC
 

It was unfortunately just announced that both Dylan Thomas and Alexandrova will not run for the rest of the year and that means no BC starts for either....both will run next year, but I still find this a shame as I feel they both had very strong chances to win the Turf and F&M Turf and now ther defections have taken som star-power and intrigue away from the card IMO....:(

Alexandrova ran subpar last out and we all know that Dylan Thomas left New York with a broken heart after Bernardini beat him by a country mile.....sucks for the fans...

Not nearly as much as your pet cowards retiring Bernardini.



I mean, honestly, was this the best you could do?

Alexandrova and Dylan Thomas out of BC
 

repots just came out of Ballydoyle, O'brien citing a long campaign

I don't think Bernardini broke his heart, he didn't run a step, he probably didn't even see Bernardini...If he would have made a move on him, maybe, but he's not a dirt horse...

Yeah the 14 of them that were interested in these two...

I was, but thanks...

me too...not Dylan Thomas ( I saw all I needed to of him on Saturday) but i wanted to see what the filly could do, she's been so good up til her last...

I'm confident that you'll recover...

OK, so there are apparently 12 more.

What are you talking about? More negative tone by btw....it is almost expected from you now......I'm convinced you'd argue with me about the sky being blue :D ....

You get mad that I present news about Darley, you get mad I present news aboutCoolmore...so sue me that they have the best horses in the world...I can't help it....I can't help that your NY small-time horsemen like James Toner can't even get Fleet Indian to the winners' circle against NYRA-breds and Pletcher turns her into a division leader...I present the news and it is the big operations that provide most of it....

Ok that makes 2 only 12 to go to for the official roll call

I was ahead of you on that one.

Now I have to go check out the color of the sky. Back in a minute. I'm a little worried that godolphin bought it....and retired it.

Nice post delete, btw....classic stuff after you realized meltdown #4 on the week :rolleyes:

Just figured you wanted to check in on your favorite Sheik retiring Bernardini after his rigorous 8 race campaign. Sorry if that seemed more interesting than whether or not Godolphin's chief rival was holding out two European horses from the BC, one of whom they actually took a risk with and raced on the dirt. I'm a little confused....which Godolphin Group 1 Euro winners have we seen in America so far this year.

As for the comment about Toner vs. Pletcher? What the **** does that mean? That was quite a non-sequitor.

I didn't delete it and have no idea why it was deleted.

That was kind of uncalled for. Pletcher has $50 million dollars worth of horses that he cant get to the races, you know the ones we never hear of again after being sales toppers?

I don't know about where you guys are... but around here, the sky is ORANGE and BLUE. :D

That would be correct.

Now, things got so exciting around here that I missed the 3pm show of " Old Joy ". I am not happy.

I have nothing to say on Dylan Thomas, or Alexandrova. However,the comment about someone buying the sky and retiring it made me laugh pretty hard.
