I can only assume it's pedigree related....and the logic behind it is that he's by Forestry (a precieved sprinter/miler) out of a mare "who blew a stretch lead going 5 furlongs in her debut."
maybe it's because foresty mostly throws a bunch of really cheap speed types that need a respirator to get futher than half a mile or so.

speaking of which, has the green tortoise recovered from his pulled ass muscle yet?

Considering it was posted so late, I consider this thread my finest work in some time....

It was specifically designed to annoy four people---three of which have checked in.

Someone please page BTW......

I didn't even read it this time, I've seen it all before. If you best work involves using the copy and paste functions and inserting a few badly scanned images, you are slipping.

I'm never annoyed with you. You are always, at the least, entertaining.

No dude!! As your inital responce clearly indicates...you read it all...and you know it!! Don't give me any of that nonsense!

You'll just have to try and resist the temptation of reading next week's eye-sore....

Right now, I believe Pinnacle has the over/under at 2.5 for how many times I include the name Simpatico Bribon in our next installment. The line on the number of scanned images is 1.5

How about posting a "Pine Island Sucked" thread, that will be even more successful...

Yeah, her two victories, with favorable trips, at the expense of the mighty Teammate....didn't exactly do much for me.

You make a good arguement, however I'll believe it when I see a domestic 2 turn route at a classic distance, the very thing they have taken great pains to avoid this year. The nine furlong race in Dubai looked great, but i'm not convinced that the horse is really that much better than Invasor. I remain doubtful that Discreet Cat is capable of a 10 furlong 128 beyer like you described.

FYI, I did not find you post annoying.

How can you call it CHEEP speed?

I'm not sure how to respond to this. Either you are asking me how I can call offspring of Foresty CHEAP speed types, or you are making some sort of joke about offspring of Foresty making young bird squawking noises (CHEEP).

If the former, it's pretty easy. Other than druggies favorite horse since mineshaft, who exactly has Forestry sired of quality? They are mostly cheap speed types that are faint of heart.

He reminds me alot of Wild Again. They both consistently produced overpriced yearlings (and 2yos!) that might win impressively first or second time out and then never do much again.

I liked both GZ and DC a little more than Mineshaft.


However, none of them might have got the obsessive hype I gave Rock Hard Ten....after his debut win, I made it a point to call him "Future Hall-of-Famer Rock Hard Ten" and extoll his virtues loudly every day, even after Smarty Jones dismantled him the first time.

you know, i've had a crack in my behind for years, hasn't stopped me yet. must be more to the story.

but really, after his fast work at the sale, he's shown what he can do. they really should retire him rather than risk racing, so he can breed more just like him! such speed, such amazing talent!!
