The WE I was referring to was the same group that she put us all into when she called us they nay-sayers.
But u know exactly what I'm talking about. WE lament the losses of horses like Bernardini and Birdstone and other top horses that are grade one winners that retire early when sound and the horses that trainers keep out of races and only run them 3-5 times a year even though they are healthy because they are trying to protect their value. Can u honestly say that Super Frolic is at that kind of level?
Again, I have no issue with how anyone feels about this horse or them being saddened by his loss or the loss of any other horse. I'm just saying that this horse did not represent what we are talking about when we say we lament the ways of old.
