And for Christ sakes I am not telling anybody what to do with their horses. I am saying this sport is dying a slow death. Do you get that Mr. 1984? Or it would be communistic for diff. entities with in the sport to unite? Good lord.
that has nothing to do with what you've been saying. you've been bemoaning the fact that star horses like azeri were running in races in order to "win" them instead of to "compete" and provide an entertaining race for the fans. that's my beef with what you said. i have no delusions that racing is in dire straits and needs to figure something out and that all entities need to work together -- that portion of the conversation has nothing to do with why i even jumped in.

i jumped in because i said you were talking like a crazy person complaining about how star horses are campaigned.

you've totally just changed the subject and are now trying to talk back to me with some business that i completely agree with, not anything at all having to do with the original portion of your posting that i took issue with -- you'll note, that my issue in my original post was from a quote of yours -- a quote of exactly ONE line.....refer back to it if you must.
