Default The question of rabbits

Don't believe me? Watch... I'm a win this race
And I'm a come back and rub my s**t on your face, b**ch.
I found my nitch, You gonna fear my voice
Till your sick of it you ain't gonna have a choice
If I gotta scream till I have half a lung
If I have half a chance
I'll grab it
rabbit
run.

~ from Rabbit Run by Eminem


Soooo it's a slow day so figured I'd ask...

Some people think Frankel is currently the greatest horse in training (I don't).

I'm not a complete moron and I understand the use of rabbits but for the horse some consider the second coming... I'm just wondering how you all feel about this... that Mr. Cecil wil be employing Bullet Train to act as such.

How do you feel about this?

How do you feel about the use of rabbits in general?

Have a favorite one or story?

Anyone wanna discuss this or should we just get back to the Zenyatta thread?

(Here... if anyone wants to see Bullet Train and his 2 wins just click on his name under horses in training / 4 year olds and you can view)...

Rabbit Run was written by John Updike....to attribute anything else to that title is sacrilege.

I liked when Pletcher entered Bishop Court Hill in the 05 Jockey Club Gold Cup as a rabbit.. he ended up dueling for the lead with his own entry mate Flower Alley..

How about Sir Barton being entered as a rabbit in the Kentucky Derby? That worked out rather well for him.

It's even funnier when you consider his intended target.

Kind Sir:

Whilst I do have the utmost respect and admiration for you...

1. Start your own stupid rabbit thread if mine isn't good enough., and...

2. The only thing I like about Updike (Zzzz) is that he is slightly less boring than Cheever.

(You know I love you).

So where are the Frankel people?

No one?

LOVED Bishop Court Hill.

My favorite rabbit is Blatant who often forgot his job and would finish 3rd at crazy odds of 100/1, 30/1, etc.

He was the rabbit for Dubawi and Dubai Destination to name a few..

Loach is my favorite rabbit, after the Energizer Bunny of course.
