Default Mystery Giver - Block is an idiot

I hope he reads this.

This horse has DONE NOTHING but ran his rear end off for you and you put him up for a 40k tag. WHY WOULD YOU EVEN RISK losing this horse, let alone for 40k. He deserves to be on your farm with Ioya Two and the others before you lose him for a tag. MORONIC and I hope Catalano claims him for the 40k and wins the Arlington Million with him just to screw you....

LOL. I saw this the other day and was gonna make a post about it, but I figured you would.

Guess he thinks the horse has nothing left...I'm using him...

On a related topic, there's a $600k purchase dropped from MSWs in for $25k at Hol in the 8th tonight.

Well said....I ran the press box at FG when he won the prestigious Gr.II Muniz Memorial...what a shame.....I really didn't think the Blocks were those kind of people but unless they scratch because they really entered with an alterior motive, I will have lost a lot of repect for that group....shame, shame, shame....One thing that is for certain, if there is karma in any game it is this one and they'll probably get a bad dose of it soon...

See your point but it's his horse. And if he jogs for fun and no one takes him, he's a genius.

This might be one of those situation like how you don't claim off of Duchie, I don't know...He is 8 years old but really, if you are going to drop this low, WHY EVEN CONTINUE? Throw him on the farm and not even risk losing him, I would think a horse like this means more to them, like a family member

Default D Wayne the money burner

He had a couple of his good things running today at Arlington.

In the 5th it was Authoritative, a $300K purchase running for a $10K tag.
Lifetime record 9 0-0-1, earnings $4,277. The good news is he is already gelded so he should have plenty of time to earn back the investment.


In the 9th it was Gray Star, a $825K purchase out of Giants Causeway.
Lifetime record, 7 0-0-1 earnings $10,131. However he did take down the show prize money today so the bankroll has swelled a little more.

Wow!...How in the hell did he pay that much and not get taken...crazy, this sport is at times..I seriously would have stuck around and hammered that Exacta (Ivan Jay Perry - the runner up - might be the best hard-knocking course specialist at ARL in the last 5 years), but I really didn't think MG would get away at that price...I figured he'd be favored off his backclass....absolutley crazy!!!!..Wow....We all look dumb now.
