The truth of the matter is that almost every single horse running has soundness issues that have to be carefully managed, some obviously more so than others, including the best conformed and the best moving. It's just the nature of this sport. Part of the reason that horse's such as Ghostzapper and Mineshaft had all of these soundness issues were because they are fast. Everything involving a horse can be a correlation to unsoundness including swiftness, way-of-going, conformation, drugs, the training regime, how good the vet, past injuries that weren't related to concussion type injuries, the training surface...etc. Some owners and breeders don't even pay attention to the soundness issues anymore because so many stallions are plagued with them.

The question remains whether or not Ghostzapper will be prepotent enough to pass his unsoundness issues on to his babies (if they are inheritable from poor conformation), or if breeding to a good-moving and well-conformed mare will help improve the soundness issues. I never count any horses babies out until they hit the track. I want to see a large number of them run first.

Nothing personal, really, but methinks this post has a ghostwriter.

Kind of like if a person decides to post as a multiple yet certain things about their writing style always gives them away. Surely I'm not the only one that feels like the following line belongs to another....

Oh yes, I also post as Canjungator, Manila Rose, and many others. You mean that it took you that long to figure that out already.

No, but you're not the only one writing the posts under your name here.....and I would bet on that.

Go ahead and bet. I'd like to make some money. That assumption is completely laughable. Someone accused me of being a guy the other day, and now someone is saying that different people post under my username. This is hilarious!

Sometimes, I don't have the time to formulate my thoughts and put them on paper as I would like. That is why some of my posts are better than others. It is also the reason that my way of writing differs at times.

The problem would be finding someone to actually take the other side of my bet....as the action on my side is tremendous and I don't like to bet 1:9 shots.
