There is a very good chance that he will prove right in this respect.



The italicized I assume was the intent of your post...sorry you failed.

Alas, I can't quite come up with a fitting description of your behavior on this Summer's Eve (but I bet you could find it in the feminine needs section of your local Walgreen's)...



What "we" know? You harvesting fetal stem cells in your spare time? Or do you just, as your screenname suggests, have a massive pea garden?

The irony of this posturing as a latter day Gregor Mendel is that the monk himself died of a kidney infection, making your douche bag-like performance all the more appropriate...



You're just bitter no one here is calling you a Homo Universalis...

I'll grant you the first half of that phrase...not that there's anything wrong with that...



Appropriate quote for sure. The same guy suggested people dine on babies, which in a way was the crude origin of stem cell research...



Yeah, its just too bad that (a) handicapping and horse racing itself can never be distilled to an exact science and (b) we aren't strictly talking about genotype here, more so phenotype. Anyone want to revisit the 2004 North American 3yo turf crop to see who the prevailing dominant sire was at the time?

Never mind that concepts such as gene interaction, gene-linkage, and sex-linkage were completely ignored by all the righteous "correctors", which is what essentially was being arrived at (however "incorrect" a path it may have been) with the suggestion that coat color was linked to turf prowess (or stallion performance traits in general).
Oh, and since we are back to the concept of the feminine hy-"gene", how often should we practice this, you know, to avoid that pesky nephritis...

Glad we stayed on subject.
And I am glad you saw if fit to stay civil.
ANd its nice on this summer evening you can come to the rescue.

So go ahead explain the bolded to me. You know its a mess but you brought it up. So lets get your explaination. Time to squirm.

And since it is a mess, tell me why I made the statement that it is more likely offspring, especially male, tend to be more like their mothers in general? Which actually was the point of my post refuting what he said.
